It's honestly very nice to have it synchronized across characters and no weekly cap. It allows players to choose who they want to play on and still progress with other characters, if they care to go through the process of switching characters. Additionally, it still rewards players for doing what they want to do. If you like a piece of crucible gear, but can't stand a game mode that rewards players with shoddy connections, you don't have to slog through something that you don't enjoy. You can do the Taniks strike for the 1,000,000,000th time and still progress towards that sick ass looking crucible piece of gear. Also, don't be sitting there, complaining that you'll "have" to go back to the tower constantly. I know, you know, and everybody else knows that if you don't want to be going back to the tower every 17 strikes or 17-26 crucible matches.
