• Goal: Make earning a high rank in Glory NOT feel like your second job
  
• Changes:
  • Glory rank points gained and lost have been re-tuned to reduce the overall climb to higher ranks
    
  • The weekly award has been fixed and its gains have been doubled

• Redrix’s Claymore is being retired in Season 4
  • Players who already earned the weapon will still be able to equip and use it
    
  • Players will be unable to earn Redrix’s Claymore beyond Season 3
• Shaxx will offer a new quest that players can complete to earn Redrix’s Broadsword, a companion weapon to Redrix’s Claymore
  • Redrix’s Broadsword features a similar talent arrangement, but it does not share the lore and Triumphs associated with Redrix’s Claymore
    
  • Once you’ve earned the weapon, random roll versions of Redrix’s Broadsword will start dropping from Crucible engrams
    
  • Each drop will have the fixed Outlaw + Desperado combination
    
  • Each drop will also have randomized barrels, magazines, and Masterwork perks
• Players who earned Redrix’s Claymore in Season 3 will receive additional bonuses
  • Owners of Redrix’s Claymore will be granted an exclusive emblem when redeeming the corresponding Triumph
    
  • Claymore owners will be eligible for drops of Redrix’s Broadsword from Crucible engrams even without completing the corresponding quest

This irks me with mixed emotions. First of all, they are right in the description that earning Glory felt "like a Second Job". As much as I would love to get Redrix’s Claymore (which is a PVE weapon), I have found trying to get it to be not fun. I'll just say this; if someone quits on MY TEAM, I SHOULDN'T be penalized. I've had games where if one person left, the other two people would leave as well, and frankly, I can't really blame them. In Competitive, if someone quits, it's basically an instant loss anyway. The game just dies. It's just... UGH... it's shit. And it's Frustrating.

With that said, here are where my feelings get really mixed. On one hand, if you were able to get through the slog and get Redrix’s Claymore, congrats on the continued perks of your glory. You freaking earned it. On the other, Bungie knows there was a... let's call it a barrier problem, hence that "Second Job" descriptor, that I presume holds back players. Yet in spite of this they are giving added perks to those who have Redrix’s Claymore?

That just... burns. Like, I wanted it before. I want it now even more... and yet read my experience above.

Shit.
