Both Guardian Ranks and Commendations are new systems introduced in Destiny 2: Lightfall. While they both have merit, it\u2019s not been clear sailing for both as the systems have come under criticism for various reasons. For Commendations, the system is a little clunky. It asks players, at the end of an activity, to hand out commendations to all the fireteam members. However, this screen can fail to show, players can leave early, or the commendations can be thrown out randomly with no consideration at all, making it tough to get what you want. Guardian Ranks on the other hand have had some more esoteric struggles. While a rank in-game is meant to be a showcase of a player\u2019s mastery, it had already been used for elitist purposes. That\u2019s if players interact with it at all, as some refuse to chase the objectives the game sets out. However, some are having an even bigger issue, especially when the two mix in Destiny 2. Guardians are asking for commendations to be decoupled from ranks In a Reddit thread, user Brambo93 asked for commendations to be removed from Guardian Rank considerations. The post has reached 1.1k upvotes at the time of writing. They stated, quite simply: \u201cNo one give it anymore [sic]\u201d. Others concurred, saying, \u201cMatchmade, don\u2019t expect anything\u201d. Another posted: \u201cCommendations shouldn\u2019t be tied to any progression or rewards\u201d. However, another was critical of all of Guardian Ranks. They said, \u201cPeople just don\u2019t care about it since the rank system reflects nothing of value.\u201d While there is certainly potential for both the Guardian Ranks and commendation systems, both feel like they could use some work. It\u2019s especially a problem if players are blocked from progressing their Guardian Ranks because they either aren\u2019t getting the right commendations or aren\u2019t getting any at all. Hopefully, Bungie can keep working on both to smooth out these issues and bring both to their full potential.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Destiny 2 players want controversial feature removed from Guardian Ranks BungieDestiny 2 players are asking for commendations to be removed as a barrier for Guardian Ranks.
