Bounties sucked… but at least when it didn’t make sense I could just not pick them up. Like when it asked me to use a sniper rifle in something that sniper was not good in. One thing I like about Pathfinder is that I don’t have to go pick them up. That’s the only thing. This, you have to do one thing to get to the next thing, is stupid and some of the tasks are horrible. I know you make it so you could always have a PVP or PVE way to the end. Which is an improvement. But having to go kill a bunch of stuff with a sniper when they are not really meta is not a good experience. Maybe add an option to reroll a task? Or better yet make it so you can cancel a task and you don’t get the XP, but you get past it or something. Or go back to bounties and let me choose how to play the game the way I want. Maybe allow multiple weapon types on each task, so you don’t pigeon hole people into one weapon that might not be good for that activity causing frustration to other players because people are playing weird just to complete a bounty/task.

If your actual performance and outcome matter then players will try in game. Bounties are bad cause I can join a game and just do what is required for the bounty and then leave or not try. Having a system that rewards actually playing the game right and doing it well makes more sense. Also having extra good rewards for those who are very good at the game. Like imagine how cool it would be if you got a large pile of bright dust for a rare crucible medal earned? This is how you reward players. Not stupid dull chores. It should be automatic baked into the activities. No need for a screen or a stupid bounty or anything.
