[quote]If you're gonna move the goalposts every time we aren't on track to reach them, the quest is pointless. If you want to give everybody a free item, just give out the free item. If you want to make a grindy quest most people won't bother with, make it account based so that whoever actually does it can have the ultra-rare reward. Neither the "community" nor the "quest" are present in how these are playing out. A fraction of players grind their eyes out to not hit the goal and then you auto-complete the quest anyways.[/quote] While i get what you’re saying, and I more or less agree with the general sentiment, I think you are missing an important point. Bungie doesn’t want to give us free stuff, they want us to “earn” our loot. And community events are supposed to foster a feeling of ‘togetherness’, make us feel more connected with our fellow players. I think a much more realistic goal is for Bungie not to set their ( future ) goalposts so high. I’ve long believed that whoever’s in charge of crunching numbers for the investment team needs to be replaced, since most of this games current failing revolve around the investment department ( currencies, progression, infusion, rewards, sunsetting, etc ). I spent 2 hours playing Destiny this morning, and each Eva Levante bounty was only granting 2-3 Dawning essence. Two hours of grinding, and I still did not have enough essence to bake a single cookie ( let alone the 2 that were in my quest log ). Fortunately, my last bounty paid out a decent chunk of essence ( I now had 45, and I needed 30 for 2 cookies ). I baked my 2 damn cookies, and looked at my remaining 15 essence, and I said “-blam!- this shit”, Bungie have taken something that should have been a fun distraction, and turned it into a chore.
