And this is what Bungie must learn. MMO type games like this are a time investment unlike any other genre. People are looking for the most reward for their time and its hard to do that with an RNG loot system and constant patches on exploits that players use. Many MMO devs leave these alone because they add to the game, and like the loot cave, can promote social interaction. The community of any game can melt the original framework and build their own world. WOW, EVE, Dota, and LOL all have glitches that have been adopted into the community as part of the game and therefore aren't patched. Bungie will learn this eventually. I still love their company and their game, but I don't think they were completely prepared for the kind of community that comes out of MMO type games, and the standards that they must now meet.

You do understand? okay, tell us why? What person on Earth would think "hey, let's only give the winning team the rewards which are the only reason why people play this mode" without thinking "Well what about the losing players? Why would they want to stick around if they are losing?"

They thought it would appeal to the hardcore gamers, and wanted to raise the stakes. When coming up with this game mode they wanted it to be "unforgiving" but didn't think of any bad consequences. We are currently experiencing what the end user result is. Frustrating gameplay, with terrible rewards; the result of shortsighted development that didn't consider the wide implication of the full package.

I don't see a problem though you still get faction rep.
