[quote]It’s pretty frustrating seeing the GMs up at late in the season considering the light cap is increasing by 10 now. Also there is no reason for me to use the base weapons when I’ll just abandon them for the adept versions. Furthermore, we literally have no access to our gilded titles until the end of the season making them useless.
I don’t see an issue to just let us play gms right away since it affects nobody.[/quote]
How can anyone get a 25 light level bonus in week 1?
Week 2?
Yeah some might play 24 hours a day but for the vast majority of hardcore players they won't be ready by at least week 3 or 4.
For a vast majority if the whole player base they won't be ready even after half way through the season.
I have 180 bounties ready to be decripted and that will only give me about 7 or so bonus levels.
With luck I could get maybe 2 extra gear light level in the first week.
What's so amusing about this thread is that just a few weeks ago player were complaining they still couldn't hit 1325 to do this seasons GMs.

So what? I don’t understand why there needs to be any counter argument against this post. Having GMs available earlier negatively impacts nobody.

[quote]So what? I don’t understand why there needs to be any counter argument against this post. Having GMs available earlier negatively impacts nobody.[/quote] Yeah earlier. Immediately though when no one can actually play the activity?

So what? I mean if someone gets to +15 of the cap in the first two weeks they still shouldn’t have to wait? I don’t understand how anyone benefits from having this timegated. Especially since it hurts nobody. It actually gives Bungie even less work just keeping them available.

A sales person that puts something up for sale when no one can buy it won't be a sales person for long by making stupid decisions to sell when no ones buying. If you don't get the analogy then just brush my comments off as some bungie fanboy making up excuses.

But if putting it out comes at no cost to the salesperson then there’s absolutely nothing to lose. Logically, it would only give the salesperson less work since they don’t have to keep coding the time gate in and out of the game. It can only increase playtime and would reduce time spent fiddling with the game.

Not timegating the activity eliminates work. They’re not gonna attract any players by making it a headline that it’s available. The players who are able to play it are going to play it no matter what.

What’s the cost of doing less work?

[quote]What’s the cost of doing less work?[/quote] No players playing a playlist due to bungie releasing it while knowing no one will or can play it will come with cost greater than the cost of programmers copy and pasting aleady created code with minor changes to the date of it being implemented. Those invested in bungie's growth and growth in their products might think again about investing if bungie were to make such stupid decisions to release a part of the game when no one can play it. Number of active players in any playlist or activity dictates whether that activity or playlist is good for the game from the developers and investors perspective. Having a playlist released where no one will be able even if it's a week is just bad business. Bungie released GMs knowing only a percent would initially play them. How they marketed and made the activity attractive is what has increased the percentage of players doing the activity. Even with how it's set up to start so many weeks into the season now still many complain it's unavailable to them. However this is simply a manipulation tactic to increase play time by the more casual player base. Releasing them in week one or 2 doesn't hurt any if the player base. However it could hurts the company giving us the game.
