Been confirmed by Bungie itself. People noticed that their 2nd and 3rd alternate classes, usually meant to bolster their main Guardian of the same class, were receiving weirdly low power drops, even from Luminous Engrams, which are supposed to be weekly rewards that are well above your current level. 😱😱

Edited by Rif Fulsam: 9/23/2017 4:35:46 AMWhat I want verification on is what does bungie consider an alt character? For clarification, I started destiny 2 with my two hunters and a warlock from destiny 1. I played my second character slot hunter all the way to the end, doing raids and what not with him, without touching the other characters (slot 1 hunter, slot 3 warlock). So have I been playing an alt the whole time since it's the second slot hunter? What or how does bungie determine which duplicate is my main? Because I deleted my warlock to make a new hunter since I grew tired of the way my second one looked (ever since the beginning I realized my characters looked "off" or different than in destiny 1, but I was afraid to delete them and redo their appearances in case I would miss out on any possible "veteran" perks) and I wanted to treat the third slot hunter as my primary hunter. Does that mean he won't be as good since he is considered a alt duplicate? Is there no way to choose whom we want as our "primary" duplicate without me having to delete my other hunter after all those hours I dumped into them?
