GAME SHOULD NOT FEEL "GRINDY"

No one wants to "grind" away boring activities for gear that makes OTHER activities more enjoyable. Just give me the loot that I want, let me play the modes that I want, and let me play the way that I want! All this artificial difficulty, forced ways to obtain weapons / armor, and awful balancing leads to burnout and frustration. At the very least, bring back crafting and bad luck protection so that player time is respected! I know not everyone feels the way that I do, but keep in mind: THIS IS NOT A JOB. I don't want to treat it like one.

  • I agree. I would not mind it at all if the loot was more generous and if the time investment would actually mean something. For example: I have turned in over 400 crucible engrams to get my dream roll of Randy. Never got it (with triple perk chance in both cols). If one spents 100+ hours to get god roll of a single weapon and not getting even a usable 3/5 roll.. they are unlucky. And that sucks. Especially if you see someone gets the thing in their first or second run. Then people tend to go towards hard meta. Hard meta gets then nerfed. Time to re-grind. Or stick with ”whatever is decent”. It took me years to get specific armor sets. For example I have actually end game viable 3x100 void warlock contra build with -20 weaken aspect… which will not be min-max perfect anymore in EoF. Cool… I will keep playing but I will not have any desire to keep building my arsenal. … and so forth. It affects both ends of the spectrum, casuals and HC players who will likely stop caring. Those who have their vaults full all the time and those who use 20 weapons throughout the years. It is not a sustainable system. I have personally all the time I need to grind, but builds and skill comes first over loot, both in PvE and PvP. It is one additional aspect to the whole grind issue. You don’t even need 5/5 rolls and when you realize that, you likely don’t want to grind for specific rolls anymore.. and play less and less… or quit completely. Unless you are youtuber and need very specific item for speedrun/DPS showcase or such. I’m not judging the forthcoming changes yet. But from what has been revealed, I fear that the new system will make the game even more complex (instead of Bungies intention to make armor more easy to understand), and the whole thing including weapon changes will keep alienating players away from the game. New players specifically and also those who can’t (because they have lives to live) or just don’t want to grind specific activities that they don’t find appealing.
