I have been trying to squeeze out 2 more measly Heroic Events for the past hour, I've come very close. This is for my obelisks. Trolls keep showing up with rockets and grenade launchers trying to kill the boss as quickly as possible when it's painfully obvious I'm attempting to make it Heroic. I don't blame them, they are who the are, and people attempting to make others miserable in Destiny has seemingly always been common place. I find the issue here is the issue in many other places... The rewards are lacking. There is no incentive to make it Heroic, unless it's a quest requirement. The lackluster rewards remain the same for normal or Heroic. I like the loot in Destiny, the aesthetics, their unique feel and function. People liked menagerie when it didn't feel like a time sink. 980s are equally as rewarding as 950 night falls. Maybe make the bosses prior to the Heroic version a little heartier so that some of us trying to do these public events have a chance. Or give a reason for patrol noobs to make these things Heroic. I find pve underwhelming, it is a means to an end to improve my arsenal. Beyond that, it just reminds me that no matter how much you encourage people to work together or pool our efforts as a community, people have more fun being nasty to each other. The game should excite people to play it correctly.

YES THIS... I totally agree, it really it frustrating particularly when you've started the event solo and just before you trigger the heroic some moron comes along with a grenade launcher and super and melts the boss in 3 seconds... Bungie definitely needs to make heroic public events much more rewarding than regular ones with things like enhancement chores as part of the reward... Also we should definitely have NEW (themed) public events each season... They should be a major thing, more difficult and more rewarding, and encourage guardians to come in and help each other... I remember so often in D1 flying through an area on ya sparrow en route to an objective and seeing a lower level guardian alone in a public event and racing over to help them and after completing it dancing around etc. But now guardians just usually either completely ignore it and fly on by or melt the boss and their off... 🤪 And also they need to stop with the bounties and quest requirements that put us against each other in a race to get/steal the most kills to get them done... Public events and planets/patrol in general have so much under utilized potential and need some love before we get any more boring new (same shit different smell) activities like Vex offensive and sundial... 😎👍
