Bungie refuses to take singles and lay-ups
Pardon my sportsball analogy. It will continue.
Bungie is down (edit: bad). We're talking mid-late game and they're staring up at a LARGE defecit. Hands are on knees. It certainly seems like we need a bunch of home runs or deep shots.
Take the GD layups. Leg out the singles. Take the easy wins on your way to the big swings and stop timegating your content.
We could've rotated through all three dungeons THREE TIMES, but no, we have to do one slowas s rotation 3 weeks at a time.
And tbh, it's not really about the event. This Pantheon knockoff isn't my cup of tea, but all the people that come to rake Bungo over the coals for stupid decision making now have warranted and justified ammo to crap on you. There's just no logical defense for it, and believe me, I try to get you Volkswagen Beetle full of clowns as much grace as I can knowing that you're run by people as morally bankrupt as they are devoid of intelligent thought, but sometimes you all just come together to cook up a truly baffling display of poor decision making.
Pivot. Please.

I’m not much of a sports guy so I can’t respond with the lingo… but I agree. Time gating is unfortunately part of a larger issue where Bungie feels the necessity to strong arm the player into engaging with the game. There are layers upon layers of engagement tactics in D2… some of which are admittedly a part of the DNA of the game(difficult content, rare drop rates, the world evolving, balancing issues etc.). Any change to some of those aspects of the game inevitably could cause a ripple effect in development that would be difficult to manage. However, time gating is something, that if removed, would effect nothing but what Bungie perceives as being necessary to engage players. I’m critical of this game for sure, but at the core of my main gripe with the game, is that it’s FUN, and some of the tactics used to get people to experience that fun, make it less so.
