It seems to be rather poorly thought out. (Destiny)

The one Level 41 activity we played last night was identical to the old Level 28 Matchmade PoE, but enemies give XP and drop engrams now. So that's a wash.

The 41 PoE has matchmaking, so what's the issue?

I got the impression from the live-stream that most of the QoL improvements from challenge mode would be present in the level 41 activity. They're not. You still have to trudge through 5 rounds (which still had the same design "flaws" as old PoE), and you there's still a pointless scoreboard at the end of each round that you're forced to stare at, instead of making your way to the airlock so the game can load the next arena, and there's no scoring. Challenge mode fixed all of that and it's better for it.

Low Impact Fix: Add a third activity which is identical to "Challenge Mode", but with a lower light level and 1/2 point values, that count toward your card. And have it be matchmade and with randomized encounters, like the current matchmade PoE. This means that instead of roping in a fireteam for 9 activities per week, you only need three (for the high-score part of the card), and can finish the combined score on your own time with randos, in a non-static activity.

So you want to grind the card twice as long as normal... Gotcha.

I want to be able to "grind" the cumulative score without inconveniencing other people by asking them to run the same crap over and over.
