Absurd that they made earned rewards through gameplay useless. I'm sure they have plans for Hawthorne engrams, especially since the game is in a transition phase, but I would've preferred for them to straight up tell us that Hawthorne is going to not have worthwhile rewards
They just didn't need to make the Portal and give us such a nonsensically long grind.
The amount of money bungie wasted wen all they needed to do was plonk Kepler in the Sol Map and allow ordinary engram drops from enemies or completed activities to level us up.
But no, they had to make it complicated by creating a Roblox-style activity box system and wipe any relevance with legacy vendors bar Zavala... ludicrous, dumb, lopsided creation strategy.
