Gear Tiers tied to guardian ranks is garbage

Remember when guardian ranks were supposed to not have any game impact other than getting an extra couple load out slots? Now gear tiers are tied to them!? I honestly had/have zero intention of specifically working on guardian ranks this go around. I usually chill at rank 10 every season. I've barely touched ranks this season and some of the requirements for some of the ranks are kind of stingy. Somewhere in rank 4 or 5 you need a prime engram for one of the objectives. I sitll have no clue how to get a prime engram other than I saw some people say play comp, and sure enough around my 6th game I apparently got one playing comp although I never actually saw it. One of the ranks has complete 3 master ops, but you know the whole 300 gear score thing and the power grind is just miserable (I mean at least they made master ops accessible to people with access to expert), but man. This is kind of a trashy thing to tie gear tiers behind guardian ranks imo.

  • I think they spent enough money developing the system that they didn't want to admit it was a failure and scrap it after the short time it's been around. I'd wager this is the last time they will mess with it since people don't like this version either. As far as I can tell commendations don't even do or count for anything so I'm not sure why that part of it is even still there.
