Cipher Decoders do not enhance or improve the grind. They only artificially increase it. Remove them and allow all the chests to be opened.

The existence/addition of Cipher Decoders do not enhance or improve the game and grind. It only increases it and makes it worse. Instead of having to spend HOURS just to have the chance of getting ONE, remove them entirely from the event and allow all players to open the chests freely. I know this is a month long event but cmon Bungie, stop increasing the length of the stick and decreasing the size of the carrot. There is already enough RNG at play. We are not your hamsters on a wheel. We are not guinea pigs or test subjects for you to experiment on. We are players who deserve SO much better than constantly running after the carrot that keeps getting farther and farther away. TL;DR: Remove Cipher Decoders and allow players to open the chests at the end of the Haunted Forest freely. P.S. Shaw Han sounds and looks beyond dumb. Unless he is Uldren in disguise, I have no interest in who he is or his backstory.

  • It seems the artificial grind is all this company has had to offer since Forsaken. The game was in a good place when Forsaken released, it was the day this company took the advice from their streamers to change the name for masterwork cores to enhancement cores when the game went downhill with just about everything. If you look at all the unnecessary changes that took place to create that grind that wasn't necessary you can see where it started and how much effort this company put into that just to keep that artificial grind going. 1. Changing the name of the masterwork cores from what they were actually created for. 2. Constantly adding unnecessary material like the ciphers. 3. Constantly raising the cost to masterwork or buying certain material. 4. Raising the amount of material to use for certain items. 5. Way overdoing the number of bounties, and to complete bounties, get 1500 final blows or whatever. 6. The outrageous amount of duplicates. 7. 95% of the gear drops with stats so low that we're dismantling legendary items like blues. 8. RNG on top of RNG. 9. Drop rate for certain items were set deliberately to have a very low drop rate. 10. Throttling seems to be a big thing this company loves to do that is way overused with just about everything in this game. I could add a few more, but the truth is if this company spent time trying to create quality content that keeps players engaged in that content? A lot of the things I posted wouldn't have had to take place to try to force players time to show numbers.
