The Flashpoint reward is simple, and I agree that it would be nice if there was more to it. Perhaps with more smaller rewards. However, the destination itself is more active during the Flashpoint thatn during its off week. Public events seem more frequent. There are more roaming bosses. One of the Public Events has an extra mini-boss when you trigger the Heroic Modifier, one (as far as I can tell) doubles the bosses on the Heroic trigger. If you then go patrol one of the other places they feel distinctly less active.

And matching element types makes a different difference now. The shield "pop" withc matched elements is reall beneficial. It damages the target as well as any localized enemies, including other targets with matched shields. Yesterday on Nessus doing a Vex Conflux Public Event, after triggering the Heroic, and a single Void fusion rifle burst into a Minotaur and the chaining shield pops cleared out an entire wave of Vex. How do you feel about the Prism modifier, though?

Also, totally agree on pretty much everything else you said. But definitely about the clangrams. A lot of people just think it is a way to get people to use clans. And I think that is right. But it isn't bad. The Trials/Raid ones also drop at Cosmeitc Power (10) just like gear from Eververse. I just don't understand people wanting to be toxic about loot.
