5 Motes of Light = 150 Reputation So Average 18 Motes of Light = The 500 Reputation you used to get before Since TTK (when they removed the reputation gain) You have been getting motes of light like rain What exactly do you believe they have taken away from you? From my point of view, they gave you much more than they removed. I literally get around around 100-150 Motes of light playing destiny now each day. But yea, the lack of 500 reputation gain in nightfall makes it garbage. How some people's brains work makes me cry for humanity.
