Call to Arms is Pay to Succeed

Hello, I've discovered that my score can never reach top 1% unless I buy the season pass. At reward tier 89, you get the final upgrade to bonus portal score, reaching a total of +15% to all portal scores. [b]This include Call to Arms scores.[/b] My current best score for the Salt Mines is 3,068,308, which when multiplied by 1.15 brings me to 3,528,554. WELL above the 3.37m threshold for top 1%. My next closest, Proving Grounds, comes in at 2,642,741. Multiply by 1.15 and we get 3,039,152. Once again, this is enough to exceed the 2.97m required for top 1%. My Coil and Heliostat aren't [i]quite[/i] there even with the additional 15% paid bonus, but I digress. I have min-maxed Salt Mines into 3:37 runs with the HVT. The friends with whom I ran Proving Grounds, have scores reaching 3,040,000. There [i]is[/i] no improving my scores in a way that benefits me. If it were not for this PREMIUM 15% bonus to portal scores found in the rewards pass, I would be sitting at 665 points for the event, allowing me to guild my title and earn the emblem. Even Bungie's free events are pay to succeed. Bungie, if you read this, free content updates and especially competitive events should be made with a 100% even playing field in mind. Tying score to power was already dumb, but denying score to players who don't own your pass is ridiculous. Be better, this is one of many reasons your players feel like you ignore the community.
