So instead of just doing nothing and convincing people bright dust was never going to be part of the event (like it was assumed by most and has been for the past few events) they decide to go for a convoluted method where they still end up giving more than nothing? Yeah, I think you’re really grasping onto straws here. Most players will still pick up the weeklies and complete them as they are ridiculously easy to complete and bounties are worth more than just bright dust to many players. People see bounties they can complete in their play session with little to no hassle, and they’ll take it, that’s how the game has been running this year and so that process has been ingrained in nearly all of us. Basically, there are simpler and more effective ways to produce a similar effect as you are suggesting they want that don’t require creating bugs or giving players bright dust. Y’know, like not letting them give bright dust at all intentionally? We’re talking about Bungie, they aren’t going to be doing that much extra work when the better route is simpler, doesn’t require communication, and doesn’t require compensation.
