[quote]Another thing we didn't like about the Year 1 Nightfall was how players could feel forced to play Nightfall as early as possible in the week to maximize the benefit from the Nightfall buff. So, we've shelved that buff until we can reform it into something closer to its original intent - a mark of prestige for having achieved something challenging. We've adjusted sources of XP and Reputation up to account for its absence.[/quote]
LIES. First, Bungie removed the 500 rep gain from the nightfall. They also removed the xp boost from the nightfall. They then state that they increased the rep gain from other sources in order to compensate. Now let me tell you why that's bullshit.
Bungie did not increase any of the rep gains, they actually DECREASED all of the rep gains! I can't be the only one who has noticed and is pissed off about this. A normal "kill enemies" patrol mission now grants you A WHOPPING 5 FACTION REP! Compared to the previous 15 or 20. They have decreased the rep gains from all patrol missions, the crucible, and strikes. Even bounties only give you 25 or 50 compared to the 125 or even 200 FACTION REP. The only way to effectively rank up your faction now is to give up all of your materials (heavy ammo, motes, armor materials, etc.).
I don't know about you other guardians, but I don't want to give up all of my possessions in order to rank up my faction. The reputation system was COMPLETELY FINE before TTK came out.
Please Bungie, bring back our nightfall rep and booster. Or actually increase rep gains!!!
Tl;dr : Bungie decreased the rep gains instead of increasing them like they said
Edit: like and bump the post so Bungie can fix this!
Edit: Keep it going! I can barely keep up with all of the replies :D
Edit: WE ARE TRENDING PEOPLE!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD BUMPS!
Edit: I'm seeing a lot of people saying that the rep has been split between faction and vangaurd/crucible. This is what has mainly contributed to the decreased faction rep and there should be an option to make it so we can focus all of our rep in one place.
I'm assuming Bungie has read this. We are at the top of the trending page :D

Yea they messed up the rep gains so badly. It sucks now. I used to care about increasing rep for packages, but not anymore at this snail like pace.
-
With your last edit, yeah I agree. We should be able to choose how we want the rep split. Even if it's just more vanguard, 50/50, or more faction.

Yeah it's too much of a grind to get faction rep now.

Honestly, I'm okay with the reputation being split between Vanguard and the faction of my choice, because it makes it easier to rank up both without even thinking about it. But I posted a similar topic about this earlier. I expressed how the amount of effort involved in Taken Patrol beacons isn't really worth it, considering it usually takes you deep into no-Sparrow territory and requires you to kill bunches of level 40 enemies for a mere 10/15 reputation, and 500 Glimmer. I can get more rep than that from simply doing two Kill Enemies beacons. Or, from doing a Race beacon with Overcharge.

I agree, but the exotic faction class items will increase rep gains, just FYI

Not only is reputation harder to come by, but the materials only give 50 rep. 25 Weapon parts are only worth 50 Faction Reputation. That's ridiculous. You should be able to trade in marks for rep, like 100 marks for one full level.
-
My guess is they are concerned that the xp buff would be to fast when combined with the exotic bonds and such that provide similar bonuses. Oh yeah. They're also likely bastard sadists that like to mildly torture their loyal customers.

Shout out to half rep for my faction. Nothing like tearing through a strike with my Faction weapons, faction armor, faction shader, faction exotic mark and at the end, Zavala thinks, "that guardian is really repping us vanguard at home, what a swell guy"

I feel that it's much harder to reputation grind now.

Bungie/Vision is slowly choking the life out of Destiny. Making things more tedious and less fun is not a good long term plan. Many of the new weapons sound like paint ball guns and feel subpar in general. No options for armor customization and no symmetry in armor design. Symmetry is scientifically proven to be what makes things appealing to us. Honestly the armor and weapons designs are not good at all IMO.
