Seriously, someone help me understand what the point of removing trials and gunsmith bounties is. Because from my point of view, it's completely unnecessary and just killing another form of Rep/exp gain for no reason, just because they want to. like, they're only removing those bounties in the name of change instead of removing them with an actual reason, because maybe the more different the game feels, maybe the players will think of it as an update instead of a Downgrade.
Another thing, was it just me looking at the TWAB and it was just more of the same old "coming 3 weeks later" and "coming a month later" that Bungie has become ever so accustomed to, post-TFS. My main concern with the new expansion was that they were going to with-hold content that I paid for even more, like episodes, and it's beginning to look alot like my worries were not misplaced.

The reason why they removed bounties is "bounty prepping"... you fill your entire quest page with bounties & complete them right before the next season/episode BUT dont "claim" them yet ! On Day 1 you spam claim all of them, collect loads of xp & rank up faster than everyone else. I've done this with season triumphs as well & breezed thru like 11 season ranks one time. This will hurt their new model, which is "mandatory grinding". They're reseting our power at the start of every season, so they want us in a perpetual loop of grind, barely max out in time, then lose everything, start grinding again, etc etc. They dont want us flying thru ranks/power & then taking a break from the game, cuz it makes their numbers look bad. They cant find new players, so they've found a way to make sure the current addicts log in every single day.
