when did seasonal challenges get so hard

[Weaver]

multiple raid challenges, having to do not 1 not 2 but 3 master-level activities, one of which without dying, that is ALONGSIDE a gm, not instead of. also gambit takes insanely long to reset. for the first time since they added playlist ornaments for ritual weapons I won't be getting gambit one since I only reset my gambit rep once this week, I ain't grinding another 16 ranks. Bungie doesn't want people to get more bright dust so they make seasonal challenges harder every time?

GMs have been in the challenge list for a few seasons, doing one Vow raid challenge is not hard, you can do it on normal mode, you don't need Master Vow. You only need 66 out of the 69 challenges for the big reward so just skip the worst ones.

I totally feel you on the ornaments. They used to come from little quests, but I guess people complained that those were too hard, and now you have to grind for them. I hope they could at least make it like;
- For the first time you hit Legend reputation on any one of the playlists, you get the weapon,
- For that same playlist activity, you need to hit Legend a second time for the ornament, like it is now,
- But the other activities have the weapon on Legend replaced with their ornament so you only need to hit Legend once for those. Why do we need three copies of a pre-set ritual weapon anyway?

There has definitely been a move away from 'hard' objectives (as anyone who played S4-7 will remember) to grindy ones, so I'll take the odd challenge that's actually challenging.

why do you feel entitled to the bright dust but don't want to do what is required in order to get it? Nobody is holding a gun to your head saying GET THE BRIGHT DUST OR YOU DIE. So don't get it.. It's really not that big of deal. Otherwise what you are asking for is for everyone to simply be given free bright dust for doing nothing, which would make absolutely no sense whatsoever.

If you can't complete the challenges, then don't. Life will go on, I assure you.

What actually counts as seasonal activities for the cards?

PsiOps

More specifically, whatever the new activity for the season is; this season it's PsiOps, last season it was the Astral Alignment activity, next season it'll be something different...you know, that stuff.
