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.

  • I got my fifth in a 28... what's sad it was from the left chest, didn't even waste a key on the center chest... of course my buddy that needed it, tried using his key, and got a no land beyond... RNG is a bitch...

    Shut your stupid mouth. I'm still trying for gally and I've been playing since release. I'd gladly take it from the 28. If I did the 28 ><

  • The biggest problem I have with your post is that you believe exotics are supposed to be rare or difficult to obtain. The reason that they are exotic is because of their perks, not their rarity. I understand your point, and if it ruins things for you then you can always delete what you get from there (I'm not trying to be mean here). Most people that play this game do so casually and for fun. People who have jobs or have a family or are in college don't get to play as much as others and should have fun getting rewards as well.

    You haven't even done the level 34 one and are saying it's too easy? lawl, go do it and see if you still say that? I'm level 34 and it's hard for me to do it. The level 28 is the intro one for low level players to learn how it works. The level 32 one is harder, still not too bad, because most of us are overgeared for it. Try level 34.

  • Yeah, I agree. Bungie shouldn't give out exotics in what is basically a few level 28 strikes. It is so easy to reach 32, you can literally buy level 32 gear, or do POE a few times and accumulate ethiric light or armor cores.

        • Who cares. You should have close to all of them by now anyway. Not to mention there are better rolls coming out of the legendaries at this point anyway.

            Try running the lvl 28 PoE with randoms, makes it much more challenging. Any time I do it with friends, easy mode, any time I matchmake it's more difficult. Edit : so many try hards expressing how easy it is, we know it's easy... I'm saying it's more of a challenge with randoms.... idiots must be blind.

            • How is it any different from Crota and VoG NM, which are no longer challanges but drop Exotics?

              • Hard to say how I feel. I have wanted Gjallarhorn for some time and for the past 3 months I hadn't played Destiny. The Dark Below left me supremely butthurt. Anyways I play it today finally and bam first crack at the Prison of Elders chest and I get Gjallarhorn. It instantly turned my frown upside down (because I was pissed for other reasons). I would like the chest to stay because I'm sure they are more players like me that have waited so long to get one and if they received from that chest it would make my feels all tender LOL.

              • I do agree it's a bit too easy, I was reward back to back to back ghorns, then 2 from the nf, but even still, the grind for keys makes up for it

              • Its not going to happen nor SHOULD it happen. I hope you arent one of those people who havent hit 9-0 in trials and is complaining in the forums that those who HAVE completed a flawless run should be locked out or whatever, because you'd look like a total hypocrite right now

              • Treasure keys are annoying to farm for already. 28 PoE is fine because it's basically just an easy way to redeem them, IMO.
