I've always been under the impression the only way to get raid gear (level 32 gear) is playing the raid. Nothing has changed. Good. If people quit now because they're not getting good enough handouts and they don't enjoy the actual gameplay, then they should have just quit a long time ago. Besides, I'm sure these bounties at least give some xp to level up your raid gear and new weapons. It's not a lost cause, even if you're in it only for the loot. Level up your loot then. Or don't, I don't care. I was just pointing out how stupid it is for somebody to play a game that they don't have fun playing. Edit: And yes, I enjoy shooting things in this game. Reward or not. Shooting things in this game is something I immensely enjoy, especially when my fireteam friends are shooting things with me. The only time I get bummed when I don't get a good reward is in the Raid or Nightfall. Everything else is just fun content to breeze through.
