The game needs a reset
Whether it be through destiny 3 or whatever expansion comes next just straight up resetting everything in the game, but something has to happen.
This is a looter shooter game, with no replayability because all of the things that make a looter shooter replayable... don't exist in destiny, at least not anymore.
The game's been out so long that everyone has everything. There's no reason to play because there's nothing new to get. Crafting was the biggest mistake for this game but the bigger problem is genuinely just due to the game being around for so long and how easy it's been made to earn things.
Legendaries are rares, and exotics are just legendaries at this point. There's nothing worth striving towards. Nothing is difficult to obtain and the only things that are semi difficult to obtain (adepts, raid exotics, etc etc) aren't even better than what we have normally. There's no reason to go for adept weapons because it's not like I'm getting something drastically different compared to what I get out of the regular version or what I get out of a different craftable weapon. And then most of the raid exotics are straight up dog poo.
Loot in a looter shooter needs to actually feel rewarding to get. It needs to feel earned in some capacity. It doesn't feel that way in destiny currently.
And maybe this is a scalding hot take... but good loot should be hard to earn! Exotics should not be some plentiful harvest that I can just spam out without even thinking twice about it. Like it's gotten to the point where my engram inventory is JUST exotic engrams because I have zero use for them.
All that and the removal of any power grind? Why play? The only times you should be playing destiny at this point is:
1. When an expansion drops so you get the expansion story
2. Towards the end of the expansion year so you can get all of the seasonal stories at once and catch up to them.
The in between means nothing. No new exciting loot, no drastically BETTER loot than what is already out there and owned, no power to grind to even get your character stronger, there's nothing.

Crafting was not the issue, nor is it the "biggest mistake". Exotics shouldn't be rare unless they only offer gimmicks or small bumps to power ala D1. In D2 they are basically the defining item for a build. They should change their tier 1-5 system to use the rarities instead of some name tag (Common, Uncommon, Rare, Legendary and a new fifth one Mythic.) making individual loot that is stuck at a single tier/rarity is a waste of time especially with how Destiny's loot is designed. The power grind is useless if your progression doesn't mean anything other than a difficulty gate/imposition on activities you were already engaging with before. You either should be able to overlevel or reach the level of said activities(I don't like this imo) or just remove the system entirely and have set difficulties with self imposed modifiers(what they are sorta doing.) [quote]There's no reason to play because there's nothing new to get.[/quote] I'm still going for new stuff because it offers a new niche or interesting gameplay. It sounds like you want some form of ARPG loot system where you grind for "better" and "better" gear. Destiny doesn't and can't work like that. Also, here is a shocking take I play the game to have fun and don't give two shits about some "loot chase" because I like shooting the aliens.
