The Exotic Weapon Bounty with crucible requirements are laughable. Not only are you forced to use one specific damage type, you are also forced to go massively positive every game with those weapons in order to get any progress in them. The death removing progress on the bounty encourages people to quit instead of continuing to play losing games, reducing the enjoyment of everyone else in the game. These steps are absurd when you can easily get an exotic just playing the crucible without the restrictions and doing poorly.
EDIT: Apparently you even lose progress if you die while the game is over and the score screen is being shown. That's absolutely retarded.

Why would death encourage people to quit a match? A match loss does not matter at all only k/d ratio. I hate the run and gun style of the crucible but I like the challenge since I never play PvP. So far I've played about 15-20 matches and am over 60% done with that part of the bounty. At least I'll feel like I've actually earned the thorn.
