There's just no way this was the biggest ever. Not a single one any other time when the powerful rewards really, really MATTERED? Not one of the earlier ones when there was more hype and the weapons/armor weren't being recycled for the [u][b]8th[/b][/u] -blam!-ing time? I don't think so. The game has been very lackluster for the last 6 months. Nothing about any of my interactions with the game and matchmaking suggests to me that this is anywhere near a high point in Destiny history. There is very little to do this season. There was previously ONE (non-year-1) kinetic 600rpm auto in the ENTIRE game (which are top tier META right now) and they added a "reprised" one to the loot pool. So boredom + people still "needing" pinnacles early in the season + (sort of) new loot = temporary participation spike. Let's see how it looks next time when everyone has faded away in a month. It was nice and easy stomping casual players, but I doubt they enjoyed it much and will be hungry for more of the same...
