Agreed. This event is a continuation of everything Bungie has done wrong this season. Tone deaf, idiocy, and lazy development. After running salt mines numerous times I’ve realised Its f…ing stupid to base a community competitive event on random RNG. To have a truly competitive mode where player skill is being tested then everyone regardless of light level should be playing the “exact” same run every time - same add spawns, same champs, same run period. Having random shielded enemies which the drones may bug out, having RNG on high value target spawn, have random RNG (ability clears, precision kills etc) on the bonus objectives all basically mean every run is an f…ing dice roll and someone who is slightly worse at the game may get lucky and out score a more veteran player who happens to be unlucky with his/her RNG. “That’s not competition, that’s simply random f…in luck”. I don’t remember an Olympic Games where before the 100 meter sprint final every competitor spun a wheel “Run barefoot, 10 meter headstart, 2 second time penalty etc”:which is essentially what this event is. It’s all random BS and any sense of true 1v1 competition is meaningless. Same with the PvP mode. Why restrict to new gear only, you’re just handicapping players with less time who haven’t grinded as much this season. Never mind the damn cheaters and people using hacks. In any true competition all participants are treated equally and given identical advantages. Having modes with RNG modifiers, scoring based on light levels or pvp modes based on new gear acquired just means your rewarding players who have had time to grind this season. So Bungie I'm rank 11, 550 power grinded all season long, just give me my free helmet so I can take a break before renegades.
