The existence/addition of Cipher Decoders do not enhance or improve the game and grind. It only increases it and makes it worse. Instead of having to spend HOURS just to have the chance of getting ONE, remove them entirely from the event and allow all players to open the chests freely. I know this is a month long event but cmon Bungie, stop increasing the length of the stick and decreasing the size of the carrot. There is already enough RNG at play. We are not your hamsters on a wheel. We are not guinea pigs or test subjects for you to experiment on. We are players who deserve SO much better than constantly running after the carrot that keeps getting farther and farther away.
TL;DR: Remove Cipher Decoders and allow players to open the chests at the end of the Haunted Forest freely.
P.S. Shaw Han sounds and looks beyond dumb. Unless he is Uldren in disguise, I have no interest in who he is or his backstory.

The first time I did escalation protocol and got to the end and realized I couldn’t open the chest because I apparently needed a key I pretty much said F that. Not sure why it bothered me so much when D1 had them for strike specific chests and I was fine with that.
