I have a question (Destiny)

Congrats to all!

Maybe this is dumb question, but why should anyone lose a earned reward just because they fail to pick it up before the reset? That seems like a new and not very sensical mechanic.

My guess is the hard reset nature of getting rewards weekly on a schedule. I think of it no differently as doing nightfall, you miss it one week, you miss it.

That's not the same thing. You haven't earned anything in that case. The only time drops were taken away from vendors in D1 was when ran out of space at the postmaster. Based on Speedracer's post, it's the same now.

To use Bungie's analogy of football ring. If you don't show up to get your ring, you don't get your ring.

I understand what you are saying. But it's still slightly different because these are clan rewards, not rewards that you technically earned by picking up. It's the bonus for being in a clan. So if you don't collect the bonus reward, you don't get it. Makes total sense to me.

Clan rewards are, by definition, earned by all clan members based on the actions of some clan members. You can't say that they aren't earned.

Okay, I mean they aren't earned in the traditional sense. It's like doing a public event, it's a group effort that you may or may not have participated in. But you only get the final reward if you open the chest :D
