Really, I feel that doing a harder mode for the prestige missions is nothing. NOTHING. What I want to suggest is, give more prestige for doing a harder mode. Giving me the same mode as all the other modes makes Elite mode nothing in prestige missions. Sure, you get more loot, but I want a better reward other than loot.
This would only affect prestige missions.
Disagree. You get more loot and better loot drops. That's enough for me. I do those missions exclusively for the loot since prestige doesn't mean anything at all. All it means is "ooh I get a worthless badge!"
