Dear Bungie Hiercosphnixes, What was confusing for me about your Queen's Bounty announcement - is the poor grammer used. When I read the announcement, I assumed the 10% bonus would apply once we simply reached each RANK ! I read the announcement and thought the items and shaders were cosmetic items only. I thought you were saying: "Rank 1: Provide(s) stacking 10% boost to Queen's reputation gains." "Rank 2: Provide(s) stacking 10% boost to Queen's reputation gains." A corrected version of your announcement would read as follows. Rank 1: "[u]EQUIPPED[/u] ITEMS AND SHADERS PROVIDE STACKING 10% BOOST TO QUEEN'S REPUTATION GAINS." Rank 2: [u]EQUIPPED[/u] CLASS ARMOR ITEMS PROVIDE A STACKING 10% BOOST TO QUEEN'S REPUTATION GAINS." The ambiguity of the wording caused this misunderstanding for myself and I assume for other players. P.S. ....And what about using the Queen's armaments ? Would using the Awoken Court themed weapons also boost the reputation gains ?
