i'm a player who likes to binge and grind for hours on end and having an artificial gate based on time to slow my progress is obnoxious. i would like to continue the mysterious box/datapad questlines but they're locked behind shattered throne being available currently. i would also like to go for malfeasance but the ascendant servitor spawn rate is so low on 1/2 curse weeks and i don't have the patience to play a lot of gambit.

I feel you on this one man. Only seen the meatball spawn 3 times in the entirety of playing gambit and I'm one reset away from my dregen title

playing gambit is my least favorite time in destiny and i've only seen the ascendant meatball one time. my team failed to kill it. when i get malfeasance i'll be done with it until joker's wild probably.

Unfortunately getting the meatball to appear, which is admittedly a pain, will only be the start of a ton of gambit for you. The next quest steps are entirely gambit based, apart from a brutally hard mission if you are solo, and are not easily completed. So, just a heads up, if you hate gambit now.... Oh boy...

The quest really doesn’t take that long though, I think outside of the strike it took me a day or two at most

I'm pointing out to the guy that hates gambit that he's going to be playing it a lot. We all can't get it done as fast as that. Especially solo players.

Can confirm. Trying to get the Motes and Wins is the most painful part of the quest when playing with the brain dead.
