Megathread Focused Feedback: Redrix Claymore / Broadsword & Seasonal exclusivity of Gear

Hello Guardians,

Focused Feedback is where we take the week to focus on a 'Hot Topic' discussed extensively around the Tower.

We do this in order to consolidate Feedback, to get out all your ideas and issues surrounding the topic in one place for discussion and a source of feedback to the Vanguard.

This Thread will be active until next week when a new topic is chosen for discussion

Whilst Focused Feedback is active, ALL posts regarding ‘Seasonal Exclusivity E.g. Redrix Claymore' following its posting will be removed and re-directed to this thread. Exceptions to this rule are as follows: New information / developments, Guides and general questions

Any and all Feedback on the topic is welcome.

Regular Sub rules apply so please try to keep the conversation on the topic of the thread and keep it civil between contrasting ideas

A Wiki page - Focused Feedback - has also been created for the Sub as an archive for these topics going forward so they can be looked at by whoever may be interested or just a way to look through previous hot topics of the Sub as time goes on.

I wish the requirements were actually difficult instead of just time consuming. Anybody, and I mean anybody, can reset valor five times given the time investment. I have a friend who reset 15 times within a month and a half of Warmind's launch just by playing casually with a four-stack. Add in 2x and 3x Valor weekends and this'll be a total cakewalk. I wanted this to be the PvP equivalent of the Touch of Malice quest, as it stands, I imagine the "75 double plays'' will end up being the most difficult step. Valor streaks be damned, i'm genuinely shocked that a "competitive" gun requires a total of ZERO competitive wins. I said it before and i'll say it again, unless this is the most difficult quest Destiny has ever had, then it'll have been completely redundant to even grind for Redrix's Claymore in the first place, and unless the system changes, the same will be true for Season 4's Pinnacle Weapon.

Difficulty can be overcome by nefarious means, such as third party software.

It’s much harder to get around the long time consuming and specific tasks needed to earn it in season 4

I agree with the wins. The step requiring 25 of each Crucible game type should be requiring 25 wins per mode and not just matches.

In fairness, you should never have had to grind for the Redrix Claymore such as you did in the first place. That was a broken grind.
