Am I totally crazy, or does this bug you too? (Destiny)

I mostly agree with you, Cruel, and although I like the books, I think I'd find them cumbersome for anything other than special one-offs like SRL or the Moments of Triumph. This worries me if I'm supposed to track regular activities with a book.

When we first got a book for SRL, I thought it made total sense. It was this side activity, and more importantly, it was an in-universe special event. Having a record book also fits thematically with this kind of sporting event idea.

But having a record book for campaign progress feels different to me. it feels like unnecessary "gamification". I do understand the role they fill (I like the idea of being able to quickly and easily track my progress), but Destiny's UI already has several different avenues of progress tracking. The quest screen, bounties, the "mission" items in our inventory screen, the quest Kiosk in the tower. I'd rather see our RoI progress tracked through any of those avenues.
