Can we get a compromise going...if contest mode needs to be the 7th of June (the same week as the expansion drops) then can we make the artifact be fully unlocked for everyone? This way we don't have to hoard bounties like crazy and can enjoy the campaign without having to worry about xp grinding to make sure we have all 12 artifact slots for contest. That or honestly, just disable artifact perks for contest? It just feels bad to force us to hoard XP and rush through the game so we can make sure we have the final slot of mods unlocked. The 10 days before contest was just so perfect but this would be a good compromise with the situation at hand.

So you want them to either unlock every artifact perk or disable it all together because you don't want to hoard bounties to prep for the raid?

That's how they sell the 100 rank season boost.

Let's be real chief. The players that will actually try to beat contest mode, will grind the artifact regardless of how much time you give them. For the ones that just want to experience a day 1 raid, most likely having all slots unlocked might not even make a difference.
