I strongly feel that we need more Crucible Pinacle Weapons like the Redrix Broadsword that don't require a high Competitive rank to earn.

There are several simple solutions. 1. Go Revoker way and make Glory cumulative, and remove bonus points to remove cheesing. Even trash player such a I am was able to get about 1K glory and trust me, I'm terrible. W/L is about 0.3. 2. Rename weapons into something like Luna's bark, Still Remembered, Mesa, Hermit (or Tarantula, if Recluse is about spiders-spiders-spideeers! (Tali Zorah:))) to highlight that weapon was obtained the other way. No one who got Redrix complains about name, right? 3. If you think this is too easy, double Glory needed, say, 4000 (or whatever is the double) for Luna's Howl/Recluse/Mountaintop and 11000 for Not Forgotten. 4. OR go Redrix way and add two paths - short and straight for those skilled enough, who'll do that easily, and long and winding road, that will lead you to the... reward. This way anyone could grind for those weapons and it will be clear what is wrong - connection, team-mates, game, gun, or you (in my case it's the latter, no questions, I'm abysmal, never hid that). Bragging rights for those who earned guns earlier? Sure, left them with their prized possession, they earned it. But let others to at least try to obtain weapon. Those possessing better skills still will outskill others, one PvP streamer proved that with free account (Chamomille character or something like that). Those who isn't that skilled, but really interested in weapon will find patience. Just for fvck sake, remove participation requirement ("Play # matches"). From all quests. It is [i][b]the [/b][/i]most stupid requirement ever, because it promotes no activity and will lead to people idling. Finding 2 idlers at the beginning of the match is very, very funny. Especially when it's already 6vs4. And you're on 4 side if you have any doubts. True enough, lose fast and you'll get your participation faster, but... where is fun in that?
