Destiny 2 dropped the ball with the Dawning event card.
A common reaction to this decision was frustration because it gave players a short window of time to claim free cosmetics before the patch went live. Many fans reported that they got it but many of their friends and family did not, or vice versa, which further exacerbated this bitterness associated with the event. The consensus is that Bungie should have made the event cards free for everyone to build goodwill with the community.

This is in addition to the many unresolved issues in the game, such as Shadowshot: Deadfall Super for Hunters not working in Vesper's Host Dungeon or Ballidorse Wrathweavers Exotic for Warlocks being disabled for several weeks. This game is arguably in the worst shape of the year. Mainly because of the constant glitches and new ones discovered with each update. This is why Dawning's response has been quite disastrous. What made things even worse, though, was the decision not to give away event cards for free, which further lowered community morale.
