Eververse Updates:

• We’re shifting the balance of new content in favor of activity rewards over Bright Engrams. This includes adding Ghosts, Sparrows, and ships (to date found only in Bright Engrams) to achievement reward pools.
• We’ll provide a gameplay path to earn Bright Engrams and all contained rewards (including Event Engrams).
• We’ll give players more direct purchase options and make adjustments to Bright Engrams to allow players to get the items they want more often.

Strike Scoring System will also return to Bungie according to the shared update. It replaces the current time limit mechanic at Nightfall (Strikes). Scoring here will be similar to Destiny 1 but with certain modification to keep the game more competitive.

After facing the backlash from the gaming community on the Micro-transactions controversy it looks Destiny 2 developers are ready to take a firm decision on bringing some changes.
