Challenge Mode is worth it & difficult for some LFGs. (Destiny)

Thanks to challenge mode I ran the raid twice last night. Ugh, I'll be regretting it in about 5-7 hours from now.

SO! The reason I ran it the 2nd time was because 2 of my friends needed help with it. They had just dropped out of a LFG that was headed south with the leader starting to throw around blame and make it an unhappy place to be because they were unable to complete the challenge the right way. Either they would wipe or the aura holder would die & it would swap to someone who had already held it. After I joined up with those 2 friends we LFGed for 3 more we tromped through the challenge mode in 2 rounds & decided to see how far we could go quickly. We ended up giving Oryx a few tries, but never got him over 1/2 way down.

Anyway, the point is that Datto & his ilk can take their elitist whining and shove it. It may be true that 'spinning an extra plate' may not be very hard, especially if you're good at spinning plates, it is proving difficult for some. The challenge mode this week has likely done exactly what bungie was aiming for, giving people a reason to try it a specific way and to serve as an excuse to grant some specific & generous rewards.

Now, lets see what Golgoroth is like next week. I expect there to be sweet salty cry babies again, but from the other camp. "Multi-gaze method is too hard!"

edit: english is hard.
