Subject: Weekly challenges?

Am I the only one that thinks that they are usually too easy? I wish they were harder/took longer and gave more credits. 30,000 credits might be a fair amount for me but for higher ranks it doesn't even make a dent. The firefight one this week was just stupid. I got it in two days just by playing.

I would've posted this on the Waypoint forums but it probably would get locked or I would get banned.

Meh. The weeklies seem to have a higher pay out over a simpler task especially now-a-days. Playing since release, all challenges have actually seemed to give a higher pay out. I think it is some way for 343 trying to get people to play, but I really don't see the appeal of playing for cR.

I don't really care for any of the challenges anymore. If I do play, it is with friends for fun.

They are more tedious than anything else.

I'd rather they be challenging and worth more.

I believe they are set up so they don't just turn into something that can be boosted. Something more challenging would be like earn a perfection medal which could be easily boosted. With the ones like firefight matches, you actually have to play through the matches and there isn't really any way you can boost it. You earn the weekly by playing through the games.

True, but at least make them worth more. If the daily credit cap is 200k what good is a weekly challenge worth 30k?

I can't really argue against that. I do agree they could be higher but at least it's better than what bungie was paying out for. I think 343 has increased the cR payout for most challenges or at least it seems that way. I feel like this weeks weekly was worth a lot less when bungie was in control of them.
