Just reading the update news and noticed this... [b] "We noticed that players felt Lost Sectors were useful, but disliked the fact that they couldn’t enjoy them with a fireteam, so we moved the faction tokens from the destructible items to the chest at the end of the activity. The destructibles will still be featured as a daily milestone and are still available to help your fireteam clear out the Lost Sector."

This is a sad ass lie period. They didn't like the fact that during the last faction rally, people simply destroyed the items for tokens and farmed to the max number of packages without having to mind numbingly complete the useless sectors every time.
If they wanna make this change to try and keep people playing longer, that's what should be said, not this sad ass lie about wanting to do sectors with a fireteam. Like whose ass did they even pull that out of. Not even a good lie for christs sake. smh. I'm sure I'm like many people who wont even bother to touch this faction crap after the first one anyway but damn Bungie, grow some -blam!-ing balls and tell the truth...

Bungie is a large business, and like any business, they have a PR department. And when they have to make a change, their PR bunch tries to put a positive spin on it. Remember when Nolandroid replaced Dinklebot? Bungie put a very nice "oh we're so happy to be working with Nolan North, a veteran voice actor who's done so much cool stuff" spin on things, but it was really "we hired Peter Dinklage to play Ghost and now he can't be bothered to record new stuff so we're just erasing him". If you're going to get triggered and throw a hissy every time someone's PR department pulls that perfectly normal behavior, you're going to wind up in an anger management class. Remember what Gwyneth Paltrow said in "Sliding Doors" (right at the start, before the whole "time split" thing): "We're in PR, that's what we do: bulls***, bulls***, bulls***."
