These are all very valid points. Personally I think Nightfall at its current state is Ok(ish), It doesent take that long to complete and after the patch you have a fair chance to get 300+ items. Thats my personal experience at least. The blue flame animation was cool, but I think the removal of the XP buff was one of the better decisions. When we had the XP buff, I didnt want to do ANY of the activities before I had a chance to complete the nightfall.. And with my friends it isint possible everyday. But yeah, weapon perks have too much COMPLETELY useless perks amongst them.. its almost as they would want us to [u]grind[/u] for them. :p
