Hard to believe i miss the Heavy Metal Event, because at least you made event rank progress from playing matches.
Now its daily and weekly challenges only amd you have to do all of them without fail pretty much. Only way to miss a day is to buy reroll chips for silver or buy ranks for silver.
Just cut out the middle man Bungie and make it silver only for progress, that seems to be your mission. Pay not play all the way.
I understand the need to make money, but the more you push this the less you'll make. You need to pivot hard and fast or the community will turn off the life support that destiny is barely running on

I can imagine their last board meeting went something like this: Board Director: "Alright guys, time to roll out a new week-long event. Any ideas on what we can do to make it nearly impossible to complete without spending money?" Board Member #1: "Make it so the only way to rank up is through completing the daily challenges, and make it so that completing matches doesn't award rank up progress!" Board Director: "Alright, now the ball's rolling! What else?" Board Member #2: "Only award one reroll token every few ranks, forcing the players to buy silver if they want more! Oh, and make it so the daily challenges only award half a rank per completion." Board Director: "Yes, YES! Keep 'em coming!" Board Member #3: "You know, maybe we could actually focus on making the event enjoyable for the players, without forcing them to spend money? I mean, it would probably entice them into playing future events and bringing in more players." Board Director: *Presses button on table which opens a trapdoor underneath Board Member #3's seat, ejecting him*
