Was discussing this with Lord Kielron in another thread and thought I would post it here to get opinions. [quote]In my opinion Bungie made a critical error in switching to the new weapon system in that they decided to combine that with not allowing us to progress with endgame rewards. Nightfalls and raids should be hard, but they should also drop rewards that allow us to progress beyond their power level. That's kinda the point isn't it? To complete high end content for rewards that eventually make that content much easier and us feel like badasses? But they don't and what's worse is that the prestige level content doesn't either so their is literally no feeling like we are accomplishing anything as we never get stronger and the content never gets easier. The prestige Raid is a bitch. Yeah the challenge is fun the first time, but who wants to spend hours on it every week because the difficulty level never decreases through drops? Where this all ties into the change to the weapon system is that, had they made this change but we were getting Kinetic and Energy weapons from Prestige Nightfalls and Raids that hit like trucks in those activities, I don't think we are having this conversation. People would be coveting those drops and the weapons would be exciting. Hell, even if they dropped at power levels unattainable through other modes of play that allowed us to infuse up our other weapons to be better. But they didn't and so our double primaries feel weak and inadequate vs the highest level endgame content. Also, I get that there would be an outcry from some of the player base that it's not fair to only get to endgame power that way, but IRON BANNER. Make it mean something again.[/quote]
