Okay, I'll admit that this calms (most) of my rage. When Bungie told us that a simple quest would offer the Broadsword, I was terrified that it would be quick and easy, like most questlines in this game. I thought it was going to amount to mindlessly shooting some enemies for an hour or two. I'm happy that the quest is not something you grind for, rather something you do over a span of time. If this quest doesn't take people at least a month, then giving us the Broadsword first is trivial. Ultimately, this is a decent response to the controversy. Decent. I still think that the Claymore itself should move to year two, accepting random rolls and the new mods. The Broadsword shouldn't be better than my Claymore; I shouldn't be forced to use the Broadsword because, ultimately, I want to use the weapon I fought tooth and claw for, not some copy of it. I want to use the gun I have two thousand enemies defeated with, not its clone. Maybe it should have a Destiny 1 reforge system (obviously keeping Desperado and Outlaw) so that I can have the Broadsword experience on my exclusive weapon. Hell, perhaps the Claymore should even have an extra perk like Destiny 1's Adept weapons from trials (such as Snapshot). It would make the Claymore ever so slightly better than the best Broadsword, which would at least justify the time I spent grinding for it. The only potential issue I see is the general response to needing five valor resets. I personally believe it's okay considering, again, the Broadsword isn't something you grind for. It's a weapon for the people who love to play crucible, and that's the way it should be. Anyway, those are just my thoughts. I hope anyone reading this has a phenomenal day.
