The company has since acknowledged the throttling and updated the December patch notes to reflect the throttling that’s taking place. It had made the change after discovering that players were earning ridiculous token counts without having to fight anyone — up to 500 an hour. The throttling is “too disruptive,” however, and it’s now exploring changes that would properly reward players without opening the door to token farming.
This isn’t a make-or-break flaw for Destiny 2 (Faction Rallies are strictly optional, and there are other ways to get tokens). However, it’s another case of Bungie making a decision that affects dedicated players without telling them what’s going on until after there’s an uproar. Why didn’t the December patch notes mention this from the start? While the fate of the game isn’t in jeopardy after an incident like this, Bungie may have to be more explicit about changes going forward if it’s going to maintain (or regain) gamers’ trust.
