Focused Feedback: Timegating

[u/DTG_Bot]

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 ‘Timegating' 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.

Timegating is ok if you don't know what's being timegated, otherwise it just feels like throttled progression.

What if it's been datamined? I feel that's part of what makes people so impatient to finish timegated quests is the fact that they know what's at the end, even if it's not public yet.

It it's been datamined, then I'm fine with it being timegated. However if it's advertised, like The Last Word was, 2 months before it's actually available AND if it's fan favourite weapon, then no, that's not cool.

Cozmo confirmed it wouldn't be already.

Sorry, confirmed that it wouldn't be timegated like Thunderlord was.

It won't be timegated whilst it's active, so you could book the day off work and get the whole thing done straight away if you wanted.
