    Yeah, cause people are “forced” to buy cosmetics 🙄 Is it because you’re poor that you’re upset or do you possess no will power and such low self esteem that you feel that digital swag that has no relevance to a game is key to feeling “special” in a digital world?

    • Let me get this straight: you think Bungie went from giving us three free eververse packages a week, to letting us get as many as we want, to [b][u]increase[/u][/b] micro transaction sales?

      • I can't say they were "caught" much less the exp cooldown was discovered. Then they removed it but compensated upfront with lower exp values. I haven't tested them yet, but are they really that bad, and do we honestly really care about the bright engrams? I mean all I consider them is a "oh look I got a bright engram" not something I grind for.

      • Grinding weak-ass events and speed runs of the same patrols over and over should net you less xp each time. Playing longer and harder events should reward you more.

        • Yeah its ridiculous and they wouldnt have even touched it if someone didnt investigate it and put them in the spotlight for it. They jumped on it quick after a few websites picked it up but they should never have implemented it in the first place, it was literally only there to make it harder for people to grind for bright emgrams and encourage people to buy silver. Its just as bad as battlefront 2.

            Well they have changed it just today and removed the part that was the issue for everyone. Playing currently and can say that yeah this is obviously how it should always have been lol. I get the purpose of trying to keep people from exploiting but that is the wrong way to go about it. It just hurts honest players more than anything. Also I still don't like lootboxes bungie, just in case.

          • So higher the level the more XP you need to gain to level up, is this some new scheme that has yet to be done before? Never seen this in any other RPGs, for example in WoW (World of Warcraft) or Diablo, or Skyrim the experience rate after each level was just the sam... Oh wait every RPG after each leveling got progressively harder, made it much more difficult to level, that was called level grinding. Same in every game that is a RPG.

              • Anyone that buys engrams is going to buy them regardless of how much XP they earn. Stop with the witch hunt, you sound like an idiot.

                • Ehh, doing patrols with the "well rested" perk, patrol missions, heroic events, chests, killing aliens...they drop pretty quick for me.

                      Doubtfull that it is for the Engrams but rather to avoid having people get too many of them too fast, they should perhaps just reduce the amount of experience earned once you reach the level cap rather than add a diminishing effect cap for it. I have over 7K Bright Dust and that is even tho i buy emblems & skins every now and then... if i have that without buying anything then why should i buy anything ? If it was for engrams they could simply remove them as reward and give a normal legendary engram on levelup if they wanted to push forth bright sales.
