They're throttling us without trying to actually hide it like they originally did.

Buy a lot fireteam medal before served offline

Not going to miss them hardly used them lol

But you don't know how much XP you need to level up the artifact.

It's just a less sleazy way to throttle our XP gains than the last time. I've been collecting and using fireteam medallions since Y1. I'm not any higher in power level than any of you, (that put in the same amount of effort) they didn't help me get NF or Mountain Top. (I dont have either of those) They didn't help me get Reckoner or Hush (dont have those either). They didn't help me get Anarchy or Tarrabah (nada on both, still) Just want to make us grind 210+ power and have to do it slower than we did in the first 2 years ..why, to boost play time? I'm pretty much skeptical on most of these changes but it isn't going to keep me from playing... I was one of the first to preorder, I assure you. Bungie, you can prove me wrong, wipe my skepticism, make me eat my words, but right now I'm thinking that there is no way in hell anyone will be 920 and raid ready in less than a week with the reduced XP, reduction in powerful sources, ( not to mention that they only drop +3 instead of the previous +5) and with exotics only dropping at your power level.

I would bet it’s so veterans of the game don’t have a big advantage over new comers. Bungie likes inclusiveness where they can control it

Ghost with guiding light is all we are deemed worthy of using 2 boost levels...that’s Bungie for you
