I definitely appreciate and respect your perspective, I'm glad that you have been enjoying D2 for what you've done. Perhaps I can clarify why alot of people are upset, as many people do get way too salty, and then just rant instead of providing feedback.
The long and short of it is that Bonfire Bash on it's own is unfortunately a bit meh. Thus solstice is now relying on rewards to make players engage with it. This leaves the following:
- You want the cosmetics from the upgraded pass
- You want the Seal/Title
- You want to obtain targeted high stat armor
Now from those points, there are the following issues:
- The only cosmetics that you have to do the challenges for are the upgraded event pass ones
- High stat targeting is rather easy already with Umbrals and those aren't time-limited like solstice rerolls.
I know that you pointed out that there is time to finish the event on all 3 characters, but the incentive to even do so is quite low. I believe most of the frustration is that Bungie is failing to respect the players' time, not delivering an activity that is engaging on its own merit, and the rewards aren't worth the squeeze. I completely agree that if someone is getting actually upset then it's a problem, but Bungie needs to get some feedback here or the chance of future events being better gets slimmer. I try to make my feedback constructive, but I also am not going to sugarcoat things

I appreciate the response. I do wonder sometimes if Bungie -wants- us to take a step back. A 3 week event time is plenty of time to comfortably get one character all glowed-up, but for all 3 characters someone might have? It's pushing it pretty hard... I've seen what feels like far too much hostile and unnecessary language in the forums here, especially among the comments. While it's good to not sugarcoat things, there's a lot of blamming going around too that I'd like to see improve among the Forums. Twitter alone is such a cesspit of responses, do we really need 2 dumpster fires? Seems like Reddit is the lesser of evils atm.
