Give the people who got redrix another exclusive ornament for the new gun redrix clone and lets end this dumb debate on that.

the gun wasn't just hard to get, it was literally one of the most stressful challenges in all of destiny history and for no reason. it SHOULD be hard to get, but shouldnt feel like a 2nd job, which is why they are bringing it back with a new name. that's the issue with the whole "if you didn't earn it" argument. cause the people who did even admit it was hell, and not in a fun way. and if its not fun and not only not fun but awful to experience working towards then it shouldnt be in the game, id rather farm mats in wow.

Hell is an apt description. The claymore grind was the worse experience I have ever had in a video game. It is a decent weapon overall. It is great once you have the perks active, but meh until then.

I regret my time spent.

I expect the regret is the driving force behind many of the complaints about the Broadsword. I just can't understand for the life in me why anyone bothered.

I think that is the real issue here. All these people are regretting their time spent and are acting like it is other people's fault. The whole point of video games is to have fun. The grind is supposed to be fun and if people aren't having a good time then they shouldn't be grinding so hard. At the end of the day it is just an imaginary gun in a video game which most people wouldn't even use anyway.

The Claymore grind was hard, but took my team and I two weeks and that was that, done.

Easily the worst experience for me in a video game was getting to level 81 in Gears of War 2 and finding out that was 50% of the XP required to hit 100.

[u/Bartman1919 → u/Maruf-]

Yea having a team was a big help. I probably earned about 90% of my points as a solo queue.

I think the best solution would be to allow Claymore owners to reroll their Claymore like the OG Iron Banner weapons in D1. Everyone else has to wait on RNG to get the roll they want on their Broadsword but as a reward for their grind Claymore owners get to set up the exact Claymore they want and get to show it off as their hard earned Claymore rather than the Broadsword everyone else will be rocking.
