If the tripmine was not intended for sticking to people how come I got a medal for doing so?

Please explain this to me? Edit: Furthermore, why did they do bonus damage when you stuck them to people? (Thanks for pointing that out below). And for the record: my biggest complaint about the tripmine change is the damage nerf not the 'unstickieness'.

  • Folks were using them way too much as a sticky. Bungies intent was for them to be a trap grenade. Had way too much utility prepatch.

      • now that tripmine's don't stick to people, how the hell are you meant to complete the bounty where you have to kill enemies with attachable grenades while using gunsliner because now they don't have any sticky grenades. also don't get me started on the hunters void grenades because they are the shitest ever. once again Bungie has jibed the hunters out of good strong ability's . about time they buffed hunters more that warlocks and titans.

          • Hey at least they said something about the tripmine when they nerfed it. They didnt -blam!- say shit about the incendiary grenade.

            • The same reason you get a medal for hitting someone with a sparrow.

                I love how this minor nerf compared to the sunsinger nerf is being talked about more. When someone asks about the most defining features of the Destiny community I'm just going to say "They're really interested in the fact that a certain grenade doesn't stick people anymore"

                • The damage nerf was unnecessary, but I never understood why it stuck to you in the first place. Lightning Grenades and Spike Grenades don't stick. Pulse grenades don't stick. The damage nerf was pretty messed up though, good thing I use Incendiaries anyway.

                  • Fusion nades do more damage than flux nades, any other ideas to make hunters any worse? I main a hunter and hate how the real problem, hit detection on blades, is just neglected

                    • Great point. And you can't tell me the testers haven't been sticking each other for the last 4 or 5 years since pvp was in development and loving it.

                        • I'm mad about two things, they took away the stickiness and they examined the throwing knives but didn't fix flaming knives or the melee range detection. I think around1 out of 3 of my knives doesn't catch fire for some reason, there's times I'll jump away from someone to throw a blade or smoke and I end up zooming in for a punch faster than my initial jump up or the reverse throwing a knife or smoke from 2 inches away when I should've just thrown a punch.

                            • You like it. Enough said. It was a popular item in some way so they said "nope" as usual. My question is why are you all still enabling bungie with the power over your lives? Hell its not like quitting for a meaningful boycott would be permanent. But that would take being adult consumers and organized. And this community has made it clear that no matter how bad things get or how frustrated you get; WE WILL PLAY YOUR GAME. Lol and you guys act like getting angry and spelling out logic to bungie helps.

                            • My guess is that, since it used to qualify as a sticky grenade, it could give the same medal if you killed someone with a different sticky grenade, such as the Sunsinger's Fusion Grenade, or the grenade that deal extra damage when attached to opponents. I haven't tested it yet, but I assume killing another player with these grenades would also reward the "Get it Off!" medal, and it qualified for that medal if you got a sticky-style kill with it.

                            • Excactly. Why in the world would the "get it off" medal exist if they weren't intended to stick. Just when I think they are getting the game worked out they turn around and do the very thing that has chased so many good players away from this game. The majority of my year one peeps left destiny after y1 and they all say the same thing. This game has gone to shit because they don't know what they're doing.
