The Level 28 Prison of Elders is a Cheese!

So I played the level 28 PoE last night for the first time, and was awarded back to back Gjallarhorns! This is idiotic. Bungie should not allow players to be rewarded any exotics from the lvl 28 Prison. It is too easy! Anyone could beat it and then get rewarded with some of the best weapons in the game. It is 4 levels lower than the Nightfall, but yet you can get some of the game's best gear. I mean think of the gameplay we first had to do to reach the VoG exotic chest or even Ir Yut. You needed a fully coordinated, and somewhat proficient, fireteam. Now, just pop into matchmaking and get a Gally, for literally doing nothing. Might as well just start handing out the Mythoclast for completing patrols. Anyway, I won't be using anymore keys on the lvl 28. I feel I should at least have to earn the rewards I get. Edit 1: This isn't crying or bit*hing, it is just a legit concern. I love when my friends or others get the exotics they need, but it is really the manner of getting these exotics from the PoE that is very anticlimactic. Some of you have said that you have gotten exotics from low level strikes, crucible, and/or patrol chests. Yes, these things are easy, but the chances of getting exotic drops here are extremely rare, and, in most cases, completely unexpected. Which makes receiving them very exciting for the player and other players involved. However, in PoE we can expect multiple exotics on a weekly basis. This kind of ruins the excitement of receiving them in the first place and therefore takes a lot of the fun out of it. Some of you have raised the point that most people have all or most of the exotics now anyway. I would definitely agree with this too, but I feel that this is a disappointing stat. Exotics should be just that, exotic. Having weekly farms for exotics makes them even less rare and again takes the fun from the game. I feel that even Xur should not be selling any exotics. I'm fine with him selling exotic armor but weapons should be left for random drops or hard fought battles (or at least battles with some sort of effort). I guess in reality, I just like working for my rewards, makes getting them feel more... rewarding. ;) I'm just disappointed with how easy lvl 28 PoE is. Edit 2: It's great to see the level of controversy this post had caused. For those responding with thoughtful comments and rebukes I thank you. You have made me look at my initial opinion and reaction a little differently. Saying "idiotic"in the original title was perhaps a little harsh, and I'll admit, my original tone might have been too negative. However, my main concern now is the serious lack of reading comprehension and the associated negativity that comes from sharing an opinion on these forums. Allow me to clarify. I don't care about others getting Gjallarhorn, or any other exotic for that matter. I have them all and understand the collectors/hoarders mindset. But my main issue was just how expected or dependable they have made acquiring exotics. I feel that this has taken some of the excitement from the random acquisition of the weapons and for me takes a lot of the fun from it. It is cool that you need a key, but I can't get behind level 28 PoE matchmade exotics.

  • You have to grind hours to get keys to open the chest. all the new exotics are bounties only acquired at 34 plus level activities. At least the 28 you have to play to get and put the time in for the keys. It's not completely given away cough* cough* gorgon chest cough*

    • SHUT UP! Quit your whining people! Bungie's nerfed just about everything in the game and the game's less fun! But, the glitches are STILL NOT FIXED!

      • Don't ruin this for the people who don't constantly have 3-6 people to play with to get those exotics. Just go about your day.

      • I see it as more of a pathetic marketing strategy...bungie is dying in my opinion and they know it...what better way than reward those in lvl 28 poe, who have not bought the dlc in an attempt to instill false hope that after buying the HOW dlc...they would be rewarded even more! Little do they know, they will be stuck with the same shitty rng. My simple solution to this games problems is to... [b][i]BOYCOTT BUNGIE AND ACTIVISION [/i][/b] Make them earn our money.

          So you are basing your argument purely on RNG? I've run the 28 several times, probably only received an exotic, and it has been a shitty one, 2-3 times at most. You don't work for any rewards in Destiny, it is all RNG. Someone can run the raid 50 times and never get a drop while their buddy goes through as a noob first time and gets Black Hammer, G-Horn, etc. Friend of mine still has not had Black Hammer drop in countless raids, yet I got it my very first Crota run. You can be a beast in crucible and never get an exotic drop while some scrub goes 0.23 k/d and gets an exotic drop in post game rewards. Destiny is completely trash RNG, there is no earning/working for your rewards.

          So, Bungie shouldn't make Exotics more available to casual players? I imagine that's the point.

        • I think it's just as easy to do a nightfall, Templar run, or a death singer run. Collecting Strange Coin from weeklies is also pretty easy. I dunno, I like the idea of the casuals who have a tough time getting in Raids being able to access exotics more often.

          • It's only your first chest each week each character will always get you a exotic.

            • Agree. There are many things in this game that, imo, should be ALOT harder or more time consuming to get. When this game came out, I imagined EXOTICS were going to be damn near impossible to find or aquire and if you found one, holy crap that's awesome! I like the vog comparison because that difficulty, without cheeses, was what the game needed to aquire ultra good weapons/gear. After week one I realized how watered down the exotic/legendary pool was going to be. I JUST got a gally last week and played since day one but deep inside I was okay with that and it should take that long for exotics. THIS WOULD MAKE THEM EXOTIC. People only bitch and complain because the STANDARD is getting g exotics weekly instead of monthly. If much much less people had exotics, people would see that standard and think......gd damn it's hard to find these things....

              • Wait.. you know that ppl used to hunt the forms for check points just so they could bypass sections of raids so they could access the exotic chests, right? That the Abyss chest used to give exotics before it was moved to the Death Singer? You know how many players got exotics for basically doing nothing? At least now they have to actually go through 5rds and the exotic isn't even a guaranteed drop. Your logic is very flawed and not well thought out. 5/10 for effort.

              • The only time it's a guaranteed exotic is the first time you play it.

              • At least they have to play it. Unlike the gorgon exotic chest where you just hop on LFG and get it literally for doing nothing.

                • There's always the off chance that your luck is WAY better than someone else's. No lie, I have not gotten a single exotic from the 28 Prison of Elders ever.
