The Orders system ain't it
I just can't understand why Bungie continues to make a worst system every few seasons or expansions that manage to cap us even more than the last one. They replaced our Weekly Seasonal challenges, which were a huge source of XP, and some Bright Dust, with a system that seems to pay out far less than even Pathfinder.
I miss when we could complete weekly Vendor challenges and get 1200BD per character. Even Pathfinder was better than this. All it needed were some more tweaks, but you abandoned it for the Portal, and now you've replaced even the weekly Seasonal Challenges with this. At least increase the BD and XP for Common and Legendary orders, and remove the daily/weekly cap of Bright Dust you get from them.

I also don't like "orders." And also the "Portal." They give not enough XP and demand practically constant loadout changes. That's annoying... "Weekly Challenges" had the advantage that they could be administered by oneself over the whole season or respective episode, but that autonomy is now gone. Like so much freedom in Destiny 2. It's unfathomable what level of control Bungie generates with all of those guidelines. 4 of 10 planetary vendors lost their bounties, most likely because they wanted to push players into the "Portal" and throttle XP because of fear of less in-game metrics. There are always fewer alternatives. And while Bungie, with his mentality of a dinosaur, is still trimming his audience, other developers of live service games expand in content and variables.
