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

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.

I completely understand that we are the 1.7% (that's how many people on PS4 have finished King's Fall on Heroic according to trophy data). However, I am sympathetic to the view that this particular challenge wasn't exactly challenging.

Could both camps of people have not been satisfied had there been separate challenges for normal and heroic? The normal mode challenges provide drops to help you in hard mode, and the hard mode challenge… well maybe that should be cosmetic only?

Part of the problem is that the loot system is messed up in the end game. If you didn't have to play the hard mode raid to get ready for the hard mode raid, the drop issue from challenges would be negated.

As an aside, I went from 311 to 314 last night. That's the biggest jump since I started playing King's Fall.
