What happened to strikes? (Destiny)

Yeah, I think ultimately it’s about the lack of payout. D2 does a good job of nudging you to play a variety of modes throughout the week. And since it feels like I’ve been needing to chase Powerful Rewards nonstop all year... Strikes kinda get left behind. I like the Strikes. They have good variety and interesting final bosses and good in-Strike dialogue. But a few tokens that will add up to gear that’s like 50 power lower than where I’m at? I probably just open the Director and find something with a Powerful Gear marker...

So:

• More fun things to do in D2
  
• Strikes only pay out guaranteed Powerful Gear twice a week
  
• Despite being better, Strikes by themselves do almost nothing to help me get ready for a Raid or Forge or anything.
