How did grimore become a high water mark for experience? What does running around picking up dead ghost have to do with anything? To me it just shows someone is a completionist, nothing wrong with that, who dedicated a large part of their time on Destiny's easter egg hunt. I have nearly every exotic piece of gear as well as almost every card associated with PVP and PVE kills. I have beaten all raids, and story content. My grimore score last I checked is around 3900+. So, where did this Idea of grimore elitism come from? I would much rather spend time in the crucible, raids, or weekly content instead of mucking about on maps and planets playing find the ghost. I would like to understand this mentality. Honest question.

  • [quote]How did grimore become a high water mark for experience?[/quote] it's another number associated with the account that is able to get to high levels. The higher the number (outside of your rank) the more bad ass you and the larger the e-peen.

  • It never was a high water mark. Some wannabe raid leaders (before the Destny app published raid data) decided it was going to be their proxy (in Year One) for how much experience you had playing the game. So they (foolishly) assumed that if you had a high score, you were a good, experienced veteran player....and assumed that you weren't if you didn't. Which of course had no real basis in reality.

  • I get that. Unfortunately, I read comments nearly every day talking about grimoire scores. Apparently, it's just not year one anymore. Thanks for the answer.
