The scoring system makes most activities not fun. Having to focus on getting an arbitrary score(not very clear to begin with) instead of just having fun in the activity has completely soured my enjoyment of fire team and solo activities. Also forget trying to play with new players/friends. All you do is hurt their gameplay experience trying to help them.
Another huge issue i havent seen mentioned is how screwed you are if you didnt buy the season pass(15% bonus) or wear all new gear. If you dont do one or both of those things getting an A is extremely tedious.
Constantly increasing your power level just to be perpetually 20-40 levels below the combatants feels terrible. Only reason to increase power past a certain point(player power wise) is to get t4 and t5 drops.

[quote]instead of just having fun in the activity [/quote] Should this not be the main purpose of any game? The problem with destiny is that is has been moving away from that, to a looter shooter mentality. The activities should be the focus of the game, not maximizing loot/second because the rng loot system is so -blam!-. The new scoring and leveling system made this worse. The addition of timers is the worst idea ever. Now every group I get in, we have to skip 99% of the enemies just to race and cheese to the final boss for loot drops. Where is the fun in that? Bungie keeps talking about creating "moments" in gameplay with friends that you will talk about forever. But how can we have any of these moments with this type of system. We need to go back to proper and fun activities where we have to clear all the enemies. Then balance loot drops around that. The addicted gamblers and streamers have ruined the direction of this game.

agree the scoring is just more tediousness and vagueness in an already bad system overhaul these guys reinvented the wheel on something that was already working until the suits said we're cutting staff and budget so you can't keep delivering the game systems are a clown show now
-
Agree and the scoring itself makes no sense with MM. I can be scoring the most kills, not die, wear all new gear and I’m still ranking last.
-
I agree totally, current system just sucks the fun out of the game.
-
Don't mind scoring but I detest the timer, incentivizing running past everything instead of killing everything is just dumb.

I actually liked the bounty system they had last season. Aside from the one with oddly specific gatekeeping bounties like “shoot a Guardian in Gambit between 2-5 seconds of them appearing and Quickscope emoting you”. Like excuse me bruh, there’s no way in hell I’m gonna do that after 3 beers… get real Bungo…

I'd rather see side objective during activities than this shitty school grade system

I think in PvP it becomes a challenge due to matchmaking. Like, if I get steamrolled I’m not getting grade B. I have a feeling this system was implemented before and now it’s just a “feature.”
