[b]I have a based idea. 1: run a game wide search for scores over 400k 2: check score holder's medal counters for excessive revive/finisher medals 3: REMOVE said users from the score pool and disable their access to guardian games events. ??????????? 5: profit Easy. It's a competitive event. Should be treated as a competitive game and exploits go against TOS. I want this emblem. I worked my -blam!- off for over 9 hours trying to break 320k LEGITIMATELY. I don't want an "I'm a cheater" emblem. I want a "I'm dedicated to the spirit of the game" emblem...[/b]

I can't be too surprised and I'm note sure why people are upset, especially if they've been around since D1. We had another "competition" for scoring back in D1 during the Prison of Elders where Bungie spotlighted the highest scoring team every Thursday. Now, Bungie said that to get a high score you'd have to slay and get a fast completion time. Not true. Not true at all. In fact, for the most part, you could take your sweet time, heck not even kill everything. Turns out that Bungie made it so activating your super and making orbs of light were worth a fair bit of points. There was also a mechanic that netted you less and less points the longer you stayed in, after a certain time your score would gradually decrease but even that didn't matter. Want to know why? Alpha Lupin bubble Titans. You see, back in D1, Alpha Lupi bubble Titans could pop a super and make 3 giant orbs, which would give you nearly 55% of your super. So 3 Titans chaining 3 bubbles over and over again made it so you always had a super and spawned orbs. Players could easily get the Gold medal score which was nearly 100k in THE FiRST ROOM in little to no time at all and mind you there were 6 rooms in total. You could get a score so ridiculously high that even the deminishing return didn't matter. Bungie highlighted the best scoring players and then stopped after the second or third week when other people found out what they were doing to get such a high score. Didn't matter how fast you ran it for the bonus competition points if people could obliterate your highschool by chaining bubbles. 🤣 Point is, these scoring competitions don't mean jack. People are always gonna cheese the scores.

Week 1 needs to be erased and this exploit removed before week 2.

I just don’t understand how Bungie couldn’t see something like this. The minute any seasonal content or Annual Event comes out people are 100% going to cheese it and I feel like Bungie takes no precautions at all lol The emblem will probably be given to everybody for free or for anyone reaching “X” amount of points in the playlist

All these forum posts about players cheesing the Games is just stupid. Every player is able to do this and its only an emblem!

Once I saw that these kinds of scores were attainable, I stopped caring about top 10%. I just can't be bothered now.

People seem so enthralled by this, it's almost sad. Let me ask those of you complaining about this "not cheese" MEDAL EARNING, point bonus achievement...how exactly does it affect you? Does it pay your bills? Does it earn your money? Does it put food on your table. Does it do anything in your life where you have to, out of sheer self-motivation that you MUST be in the top 10%? That instead of taking advantage of a loophole that not only benefits your team, but actually rewards you for doing so, you all have to complain on the forums about it like these people just broke the law? Now, if my GG was trackable, you'd see that my highest score is 277k, nowhere near the 600-700k you guys are seeing...but b*tching about this is about as sad as complaining about people who take advantage of certain perks/meta's to one phase raid/NF bosses, or whining about those who used to farm kills in Thrallway...

The top players will use this exploit and I would bet that bungie will just give everyone the emblem

U guys do know u only have to get 300k to be in the top 10% right not that hard

Why do people act like any of this means anything?

Jokes on them. The emblem will be given to the bottom 10 per cent. [spoiler]that would be funny as hell[/spoiler]

I’ve got [b]1%[/b] from this season on my GG (2021) emblem And it was legit Any “cheese” is just mould! [i]Imagine shooting yourselves with a GL & reviving each other, over & over for 12 bloomin’ minutes Someone in my fireteam suggests that to me & they’ll get shot down! 😄 [/i] If you’re not doing things within the rules of the “competition” it’s worth less than a “Bungie promise” 😄
