Lockout (Destiny)

So you'll still get loot during it, even with a lockout.

Unless I'm remembering the Beta completely wrong, the random stuff you earned during gameplay (not what you got at the end of the mission) was no where near as useful. The way I saw it was that completion/success was the important part, not participation. Which I think is a very good mechanic for a game like this.

If that is the case, then I would much rather get worthwhile rewards from completing other activities than play more Raids. And to Cody's point, when you reach end-game play, it is those completion rewards that will allow you to progress.

However if the reward for participation (read: even in failure) is comparable to beating a Raid . . . my problem evaporates. But I think a system like that is going to be very flawed and make Raids nearly useless except for a different style of gameplay.
