The return of the Call to Arms event had a lot of potential to bring excitement back into Destiny 2, but the current scoring system feels more punishing than engaging.
Instead of pulling players in, it’s having the opposite effect — shutting them down. The way progress is tracked seems to favor high-skill PvP players while leaving casual and mid-level Guardians feeling left out. Many players are investing time and effort but seeing very little progress, which quickly drains the motivation to keep playing.
For PvE players, the disconnect feels even greater. The event doesn’t seem to value their usual style of play, which goes against the spirit of Destiny being a shared world where all activities and playstyles matter.
Right now, Call to Arms feels more like a divider than a community event. It should be something that unites all Guardians — PvP and PvE alike — but the current scoring and structure are discouraging the majority of players instead of celebrating their participation.
Bungie has always been at its best when events bring the community together. Hopefully, Call to Arms can be reworked in that same spirit so that every Guardian, no matter how they play, feels included and rewarded.a

This event [b]IS[/b] highly rewarding! Everyone willing to do the weekly and daily Bounties and run each activity at least once can acquire the title, just not gilded. We are swimming in (top tier) loot, what more do you want for feeling being rewarded? Everyone can get this = loot/title, the helmet ornament, emblem and gilded title are reserved for the most dedicated/skilled players but I can accept this as I never will get the Flawless or Glorious title and respective enblems either.
