Goid job on putting your thoughts into an organized post. I disagree with everything except the heroic strikes and crucible mode options. Balance changes need to be left with those who cruch the numbers,because your opinion of balance isn't likely to be accurate overall.(that is not an insult. Everyone has a limited viewpoint that is made so by their personal playstyle). Also, I would add strike scoring/bounties and crucible bounties back. Nobody even knows what the "challenges" are until we load into the game. I'm not a squirrel on crack,so I need to know before I go in what the challenge is. Once in, I can't be pulling up screens to see where I stand on my challenges. As of now, I only get challenges by accident. I would stress that if you want changes made, you need to focus and prioritize. Take your best ideas that will contribute most to longevity in the game, and push those. Ignore "balance" opinions until the game is in a good place. Balance only feels "balanced" when you are the one winning,which is why everything gets complained about.
