I agree with you on the subject of the Queen's bounties. We already know there are going to be Iron Banner bounties, as there were in the beta. Why does the Queen have to give those as well? In fact, it makes no sense for her to be interested in the Crucible at all, considered according to the lore it's more of a training arena for Guardians than anything. Shax treats it like an arena, but it's meant to test Guardians in battle. Why would the Queen of the Reef, who cares so little about the Tower, the Traveler, or anything else on Earth... care about being represented in a training arena? Bah, who am I kidding? We're talking about the same people who thought it would be a good idea to have her give you missions to kill things that are already dead before you ever even meet her. "Old scores" indeed...
