That’s right, it’s a reward to not have to do these terrible challenges. So why is the game structured this way in the first place? Forcing people to do things they don’t want to do? It makes no sense.
It has been almost 6 months and we’re still forced into modes we don’t like. Still forced to try play in ways we don’t like. Still being “rewarded” with the ability to skip these horrible challenges. We need to keep beating the drum people. Don’t stop complaining until it changes.

It would be a reward to “skip” the challenges if we got to pick challenges we wanted to do. Instead, it is completely randomized, so you end up spending 2, 3, 4 challenge swaps to get something you have an interest in doing. It isn’t any better with swapping event challenges either.
My friends and I just spent 5 1/2 hours last night trying to get into a strongholds game. My challenge was to play 2 strongholds matches. Should be fairly easy to do, why skip an easy challenge? Haha, boy were we wrong. 5 1/2 hours later, we’ve played every other mode available, multiple times, and only saw 1 strongholds match right in the beginning. What happened to, “we won’t make this game a grind-fest” and “we want players to play how they want, not how the company wants players to play”?
Nobody should have to play a game for over 5 hours to complete one challenge. What is sad, is we’ve waited for 6 years for the release of Infinite, and now an additional 6 months for the bugs to be fixed and for them to listen to the community. Neither of which has happened. There is still server desync issues, still issues with hackers and cheaters, still issues with challenges not tracking properly, still issues with the progression system in general, still issues with overall server stability, still issues with the MMR system, still issues with just listening to the community overall.
None of it could be more clearer about they don’t give a flying f*** about the community, than the shadow patching they did to remove skill jumps throughout the maps. Nobody had a problem with the skill jumps. Literally no one. But 343 didn’t like it, so 343 changed it. Now they face backlash from it and play dumb. “Oh, we thought you didn’t like it. We’ll look at maybe bringing them back.”
Honestly, I’ve never seen a company take a s*** all over their playerbase like 343i has.
The game is great in many aspects, and has the capability of being a titan, if 343i would just get out of its d*** way.

come on man just sync that up with the 10000-point challenge and play about 15 games of one of the worst modes that’s been in a game and hope and pray to whatever deity that will listen that those matches counted to your challenges, otherwise give 343 2$ for the privilege of swapping that challenge to something that might be even worse, play this game the way they want you to play instead of the way you want
Challenge Swaps are literally just 343 selling you a partial solution to a problem they created.

Sometimes i feel as though 343 is laughing at the players calling them idiots behind closed doors.
