Bungie is trolling Destiny 2 players with worthless boots

polygon.com:

Destiny 2: Season of the Plunder is all about pirates. It offers pirate battles, pirate booty, and classic pirate thievery. Normally this kind of seasonal theming would only apply to the enemies, but Bungie has brought back everyone’s favorite scumbag Fallen mob boss — Spider — to steal loot from players instead.

At the end of this week’s seasonal mission, Spider offered players a choice between three random rewards, just as he did the week prior. But instead of getting a random new seasonal weapon like they did last week, some players instead got green Fieldplate Type 10 boots from the early days of Destiny2 — a worthless item for literally any Guardian, new or old. Even better, these boots are only for Titan players, meaning Hunters and Warlocks can’t even put them on for nostalgia’s sake.

Normally, Guardians might assume this is a bug. But if players talk to Spider, he’ll mock them for their poor loot selection. Naturally, Guardians took to Twitter to laugh at the joke and make sure they weren’t alone.

Am I missing something? Why did Spider give me green titan boots with 1 stat after finishing part of a seasonal quest? Lmao. pic.twitter.com/imWtGId3d4

Some players even complained to the Bungie Help IT account as if it were a bug.
