Guardian ranks shouldn't be a filter for Fireteam Finder
I get it, the idea is that you find guardians who are experienced and know what they are doing. Only issue there is, that isn't what a guardian rank is. No matter how skilled or otherwise you might be at the game there is no getting past guardian rank 6 as a free to play player.
Even if you buy the annual expansion, rank 7 still requires buying the dungeon key and the seasons. I for one am not prepared to spend +$60 to get into LFGs of people who don't understand why guardian ranks are pay to progress. I admit that the later guardian ranks are skill based but they require owning all the content in the game which is just so much money and excludes much of the player base based on money, not skill.

Edited by Oogyman: 12/7/2023 11:20:27 PMYeah, those are pretty pointless. I mean, I guess if people want to use them, ok. I know I just paid the big chunk last expansion to just have everything unlocked, and I still couldn't care less about the Guardian ranks, especially because they reset. I just won't waste my time with that kind of pointless crap. Only did it with light levels because that's what we had to do to engage with content. Glad they quit raising those. I don't see a reason to pursue these because they don't really prove anything besides accomplishing something the devs put out. I don't feel it equates to "knowledge" it just exists. Its like Triumphs. I don't care about those either unless it actually gives something like higher drop rates for exotic stuff. Its just a chore list otherwise. I know some like that, which is fine, but just existing should be enough if its just about personal accomplishments. The world doesn't need to know any of that stuff, nor do most care, I'd think. Maybe I'm wrong. Besides, if Bungie is so worried about space and memory issues with Destiny, why are they filling this game up with this crap? It should all be going towards valuable content and functionality.
