[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

Why is it people care so much about trending and less about the post. Stay on target here

Faction rep is tending to gain at about 40% of my Vanguard/Crucible rep, far as I've experienced. What would've ranked up my Dead Orbit six times by now has ranked me up a whole whopping one time. At least my Engram drops are 5x faster now, to keep up with the Chryptarchs' stinginess of what they sell.
-
I want to disagree with you on one part.. I actually prefer that now I get rep for both Vanguard and Factions. It actually makes more sense compared to the story line. Outside of that, I agree with you on everything else. Bungie is hearing a lot about the night falls these days. I would expect a fix before too much longer.

1300 and no bungie response -,- seriously?
-
You are correct. It has become a terribly difficult process to rank up your faction. Getting to level 25 from 0 now looks to be a year long prices unless I give up everything i have. Nightfall should have stayed the way it was. Now there is no point in doing it.

It really nice when you turn in 10 bounties for 250 rep instead of like a 1000 lol. If you didn't hit rank 25 with your faction gl getting there

Edited by SiniSterACE N7: 10/13/2015 9:37:35 AMYour right, because they might decrease the iron banner rep, and idk y they decrease the rep even though they said that they'll increase it more. Just full of bullshit that they said it and didn't do nothing about it. Like WTF Bungie!!! Are u putting grind into our ways of obtaining better armor. What's the point of playing if its only about grinding and grinding and more grinding for your loot???????

I have a vanguard cloak so I get 12 faction

Agreed

I, for one, am glad they removed the buff. I hated having to do Nightfall as the first activity every reset, or else lose out on a whole ton of reputation gains I otherwise would have gotten. That being said, we do need more reputation from better sources now that it's gone. Leveling factions is FAAAAR too slow now. Cleared most bounties for three weeks, did the raid, did the nightfall, capped Strikes and even did extra Strikes and I got about 1.5 levels of Dead Orbit. That would have been 4+ previously. Rep gain before was fine, even with the Nightfall buff gone, but they nerfed the gains too which is just weird.

We notice trust me
-
not only at the top of Trending but STILL at the top with 450+ likes, how did you do that?
-
Bump. They must have figure it was a smart trade off, having allowed you the ability to trade certain materials for rep. However, this is absurd that you gain such minimal reputation from even the highest tier activities.

Edited by godzilladude77: 10/13/2015 12:42:18 PMI like your idea, but I really like how you can trade motes for rep, I played for like an hour and had more than 20 motes, I have already ranked up like 16 times on new monarchy and 10 times on dead orbit!
-
Grind out strikes. You get a ton of rep if you stay in the same lobby for a while.

Edited by KrazyM82: 10/13/2015 6:04:52 AMYour first mistake is that you used bungie and reputation in your question/title!
