Lots of chatter today regarding the Public Event Rewards and that you no longer get a package in the post from your first gold completion.

Apparently you also no longer get 5000xp and your first public event gives you a Mote of Light direct into inventory.

If this is a bug, fair enough and I wont look too much into it, but if its intentional I'm surprised it was left off the patch notes.

Perhaps its gone because of the following reasons:

1. Bungie don't want people building up the packages in the post for a giant XP hit while using an telemetry and ranking up items super quick in one go.

2. The Motes of light are given to you so you can collect more of them during the week to buy an exotic engram from Xur which can now be broken down for the new Exotic Shard if not required.

Again, this is all speculation perhaps irreverent if it turns out to be a bug. It just strikes me as very odd that so much change has occurred for it to be accidental.

Waiting on a response.
