I understand your frustration. That being said, there are some outstanding aspects of SOTD that you should look at. I realize that I’m responding to this a few days after it was posted so you might’ve already done what I’m suggesting but oh well. Make sure to pick up the invitation quest from Xur, it’s one of the most interesting things to ever be put into destiny. This quest line, in addition to the alliance quests, will progress each week. Also, the load out that worked best for me in the Thorn quest was Last Word, Ikelos HC, and Bad Omens. These guns combined with a void subclass let me finish the crucible step in 4 hours. You may run into a stacked lobby or two but it’s not nearly as bad as this forum would lead you to believe, unless you’re on PC then RIP.
