I've had this debate a couple times now. My wording is bad for describing the bonuses, but you should get the point. The long short is, being rank 1 on the Queen does not inherently give you a 10% bonus. It gives you access to items that provide a 10% bonus each (2 of them). At rank 2, you now have access to 3. http://www.twitch.tv/beflatline/c/5197932 - Highlight reel of the Twitch feed. http://www.twitch.tv/beflatline/b/572922384 - Source of the FULL run, showing the bounties being completed and everything precluding the turn ins. Math: No Emblem / Class Item / Shader? 100% Reputation 1 item? 110% Reputation 2 items? 110% * 1.10 (cumulative 10%) = 121% Reputation Boom. My apologies on the audio cutting in and out. Apparently Destiny doesn't like livestreaming on my end.
