Bright dust- bungie what have you done?

While I'm happy that bungie has made changes to bright dust to allow us to earn more total bright dust, the weekly gains are abysmal compared to the previous methods of gathering bright dust. This season, if you do all possible tasks of the week for bright dust, you'll end up with around 1840 bright dust. This number comes from all weekly triumphs that grant bright dust and doing 8 bounties for each of the three ritual vendors on every character. This means that you'd be doing at least 62 bounties per week plus however many you need to do for the bright dust triumphs. Last season a weekly bounty gave you 100 bright dust and the season before that each weekly bounty gave you 200 bright dust. In season of arrivals you could earn 3600 bright dust per week just by doing weekly bounties, in season of the hunt you could earn 1800 bright dust per week JUST by doing weekly bounties. For 18 bounties you could get about the same amount of bright dust as you do now for 62 bounties, see the problem? I feel confident enough to say that more people don't play on all three characters to the fullest extent every week, so more people are probably just doing the weekly stuff on one character and they also probably aren't doing all of the bright dust weekly triumphs. So most people aren't getting anywhere near the bright dust gains per week that they'd normally be getting and it will catch up is they regularly buy something from eververse with bright dust. I propose some changes. -Change the bright dust reward for completing 8 of bounties for a ritual activity from 120 to 200 -Change the bright dust reward for completing a weekly triumph from 75-100 These changes would allow for about 2720 bright dust to be gain each week, however once again most people don't play like that and might only be doing everything on one character, which would grant about 1290 bright dust per week, a little bit more than an ornament from eververse. This allows players to make enough bright dust without having to devote a ton of time to bounties. Please bungie, recognize that you've messed up here and remedy it. Prove that you are listening. edit: if my math seems off, I forgot to mention that I counted half of the bounties as additional bounties, which each give 10 bright dust Edit 2: It appears this week’s weekly triumphs award 150 bright dust, making them worthwhile and allowing us to earn plenty of bright dust. It doesn’t fully solve the problem but it’s better than 75

  • Any time they change bright dust it's never going to be pro-consumer. It's kinda ironic, I'll never spend money on useless cosmetics, emotes or skins and the way how they handle BD now has made me pretty much completely forget about Eververse filling any rewards cycle.
