Every other vendor in the game either allows a rank reset, or you can continue to earn engrams past the "max" rank. His rep and reward track work the same as Fynch or Nimbus, where you gradually unlock rewards but then "max out". But unlike them, you just stop earning engrams at the max rank? What is the point of that?
It's supposed to be a super rewarding game mode, but at some point the more you play it, the LESS rewards you earn? There's no point in doing his daily bounties after you hit max rank either.

Bungie posted an 8 tweet long tweet a few hours ago about this exact issue, Shaxx was never meant to reset and they aren't going back on that decision, what they are doing is guaranteeing us 2 weapons at the end of a 50 wave run, so basically they heard the feedback and said "just increase the reward drops that will make them shut up"
