Hold up.
You have only reached Season Rank 100 once, yet are complaining about not getting enough Bright Dust from Weekly Bounties? There are 2 fundamental problems with your thought process.
1. If you are playing the game to complete weekly bounties, you are going to be getting levels pretty easily while playing. If you are playing core activities often while doing bounties, you should easily be able to hit 10 season ranks per week given the weekly buff. At rank 100, you are getting 5.2k MORE bright dust than in past seasons on the free pass. To put this into context, you would need to do 53 Weekly Bounties in a single season in order for your Bright Dust gains to be less than in the past.
2. If you are not playing enough to even get to rank 100 over the course of the season, why should you be getting lots of free Bright Dust? A better question, if you don't play the game that much, why would you care if you get a certain cosmetic?
The only players that were negatively affected by the Bright Dust economy changes were those who grinded all 6 weekly bounties on all 3 characters every single week.
That’s exactly what I did. Each week all weekly bounties on all 3 characters. Doing it now seems less worth it (obviously). I like to collect emotes, I have about 90% of them and it just feels like a slap in the face.
“Oh, you put it time playing the game properly to get the stuff free after you paid for the game? Nah, let’s fix that so you have to pay some more real cash”
Thanks Bungie.....
