I earned Redrix’s Claymore queuing solo and I don’t mind...
I don’t mind that a wider audience will have an opportunity at a quest to get a Redrix alternate.
I like that they’re retiring the Claymore altogether. The OG. Of course, emblems are whatever rewards, but I like that we’ll have an emblem that less than 1% of players can have period. Bonus glory points and immediate access to the broadsword. It’d be sweet if the broadsword was energy though, just to have a Claymore and Broadsword equipped at the same time..
Some of the most infuriating moments in pvp came during the climb through competitive to Claymore. But also some of the gnarliest, most epic, clutch moments ever. EVER. And the final kill that put me over the edge (was a 1v1 last man standing in survival) set off the funniest string of hatemail with some poor sap. It was so fitting.
It was truly an enjoyable challenge to overcome. Redrix’s Claymore is just a symbol of that grind to me, and it is my favorite pve kinetic.
So anyway, Bungie offering the new gun as a quest doesn’t trivialize the journey that came before for me. I don’t understand the mentality of I WORKED FOR THIS NOBODY ELSE SHOULD HAVE IT. Guess what? They don’t have it. They didn’t go what you went through. So what. They get a gun with the perks. The journey was still yours. The Claymore is still yours.
I do feel bad for the people who paid $200+ for it. Especially the ones who paid yesterday. I’m guessing there’s no refunds on recoveries in progress. :)

13 RepliesI appreciate your viewpoint, and actually respect it. But I think where the problem arises is that it feels like bungie isn't respecting the grind that people went through to get the gun. Now, maybe the quest proves to be a grind itself, but we just don't know yet. Another way to look at it: say you get a huge trophy for winning some kind of tournament or sport. It's flashy, it's unique, it's awesome. You feel pretty good about yourself, and the reward is fitting for the struggling process of getting to that point. But then, come to find out a few weeks later, the other teams that placed below you or did worse in the tournament get the same big trophy, but say a different color or something miniscule. It kind of undermines the value of doing your best and aiming for first place or the award of that. Now, obviously the example isn't the exact same as what's happened here, but you can see the point as to why people aren't happy. That's all I'm trying to get across.
