I think you first need to stop thinking about the sword as a sword in this case. It's literally the physical embodiment of Darkness. The Knights that he sends down with it are tied to the sword in some way, but they in no way can use its full power. They're more or less just his scouts. From a lore perspective, STAY AWAY FROM THE SWORD! It became too powerful last time by killing Guardians. Now, it's not only killing Guardians, but other enemies as well. You're charging it up.

Oh shit

Yeah, it's going to be a big deal when people realise that. We're literally adding to Crota's power because most think using a sword "looks cool". Crota is seen as a god because of his power, and now we're only adding to it. We're still working on the thread above, but feel free to check it out.
-
what if Bungie implemented a way that every time we kill something with the sword, the harder crota will be to defeat?
-
In the lore that's probably what happens, but it doesn't seem likely since people could abuse that fact either way. That said, perhaps it will have an affect in the Raid, as in each kill he gets makes him stronger.
-
how will people abuse it?
-
They'll either not use it at all or use it so much he becomes insanely hard that they have to nerf him.
-
But could they make a cap? Say Crota is 32. After killing said 100,000 enemies total, he will raise to 34. Not impossible. Or he could reset on the weekly reset. And people are bound to use the sword anyway.
-
That would be cool, but improbable. Still, I would like that feature + his growing strength for each Guardian he kills.

Edited by Archangel 58: 12/5/2014 3:06:19 AMLol just what we need. He kills three out of six guardians in the raid. Suddenly becomes 33. :/
-
I was thinking just a damage boost. It would be insane on hard mode if there was one Guardian left standing against him, both wielding swords.
-
Though it would be 2 sword of Crotas. More into the pokemon style. What? Crota is evolving? Health regens to max. Extra damage resistance and a sword that has mist going off it which does more damage. <-------------------- Could also be Crotas enrage. Except health regen of course.

There's already more than one, and we wouldn't have to use the same sword.
