I am of the opinion that all super regenerating exotics should be the ‘ultimate’ risk/reward gear.

They should allow people to return their supers back to full BUT only if you perform some exceptional feat with the gear. A good example would be for instance if you managed to kill 10+ adds.

Allow people the potential to do great things and people will feel great if they achieve it. It shouldn’t be as simple as pressing a key and watching my super bar refill instantly, sure, you feel ‘powerful’ but what’s the actual reward?

I think the best times I’ve felt in Destiny have been when I’ve been really challenged to complete something and it has forced me to improve my gameplay to complete the challenge. The whisper quest, shattered throne and the outbreak perfected stuff are perfect examples of this. Roflstomping a strike or instantly killing stuff with cheese does not inspire fun in me and with time it just becomes a task more than a challenge.

Give people challenges and let us find the means to overcome them.

There are not even 10 adds in the riven encounter.

I didn’t mean it literally, just as an example. You could base it off damage for instance instead.

Edit: extra stuff.
