Not going to talk smack and look like a fool cause looking at your profile/gear you have obviously lived this game and I respect that. But the thing is this Big Raj they could have fixed the super boosting factions easily in two ways. One, HEAVILY decrease the rep gained from turning in said parts. Two, remove Weapon Parts all together as a faction gain able item. I turn in probably 50-60 motes of light a week for my faction. I'm sure A LOT of guardians do cause motes are pretty much worthless otherwise. Did Bungie do ANYTHING about motes? See my point? They have altered an item we need and to blame it on faction power leveling is just weak cause we can do that with other items as well. EDIT: 144 Crypto Rank Raj? Nice
