Dear Bungie.
This may be known to you at this time, but as a consequence of the current event modifier “Accelerator: Special Surge”, the challenge modifier “Special Ammo Famine” is unable to be selected. This, in turn, has created an issue in which guardians (myself included) are unable to proceed from Rank 7 to Rank 8 until the current event modifier has passed.
This is unnecessarily timegating guardians for an additional week, and preventing them from attaining gear of certain rankings before the new rewards pass. Additionally, should an issue similar to this arise in the future, guardians may be impacted closer to the end of a full season.
Though this disabling of the Famine modifier has been confirmed by yourselves to be intentional, I in good faith assume the timegating aspect was not. Thus, I kindly request that a fix be implemented that achieves one of the following (or something else that achieves a similar result):
1.) The Famine modifier rank requirement be bypassed under the prerequisite that all other rank requirements have been met.
2.) The Famine modifier be combinable with the event modifier, effectively cancelling each other out. Seemingly pointless, but would counteract issues such as this one.
3.) The event modifier be togglable as optional. Allowing for the affected challenge modifier(s) to be applied again.
Thank you kindly for your patience and understanding. Best regards.
A fellow guardian.
