Bounty alternative (Destiny)

Bounties can get exhausting after months and months, but XP.

Alternative: bounties that accumulate value over time and, as long as you don't duck them up, can eventually be turned in for a huge XP reward.

Imagine this like a twist on the 'Earn 9000 XP without dying' bounty. Except it never ends. Every kill you make increases the XP value of the bounty. If you can keep it going for a week or so, you could upgrade a weapon from scratch when you finally turn in that one bounty. But if you die after 4 days.. whoops. All that potential XP you accumulated is lost.

Risk vs. Reward. Don't need to upgrade something right now? Keep holding onto it and when you have that new weapon, you'll have it upgraded in no time at all. But you had better stay alive to keep it building.

Thoughts?

Maybe instead of something that brutal, it could work like an osiris passage? You hit benchmarks like 10k exp, then 50k exp, then 100k? If you die at 99k, you fall back to 50k, so you still have something?

I'm just speakin up for the sake of the victims of controller abuse. No controller deserves to be whipped into the floor like a fastball.
