XP in Destiny 2 (Destiny)

For the tinfoil hat-wearing armchair-dev neckbeards that cry about "slippery slopes", sure, it doesn't look good. For the people who enjoyed getting cosmetic loot without having to grind endlessly, they're at risk of losing their well-rested bonus just because some stupid streamers want more more more.

So like PC Gamer magazine?

I'm honestly surprised at this outcome. My initial feeling was that it was almost certainly a bug, because intentionally diminishing XP rewards—particularly when real-money transactions are at stake—didn't seem like something any reasonable company would do. Yet here we have virtually a straight-up admission that they were holding back XP gains, and thus the bright engrams that otherwise have to be purchased for cash—and kept it all quiet until somebody noticed, making changes on short notice over a holiday weekend. That is really not a good look.

Also this has jack squat to do with well rested.
