Destiny 2 feels meh now

Let's lay it all out here: 1) I like the fact that I can curate the difficulty of the activities I wanna play; however, my gripe is that I somehow boost the difficulty from 200 combatant power to 280, and the completion rewards goes up by ONE level... I should not be getting 1 power higher gear for playing 80 levels above the default. So Bungie needs to either scale the amount of rewards from 3 completion rewards to 4-6 depending on the difficulty or increase the level of gear received by 8-10 levels so it feels worth it to do higher level content. I enjoy doing harder content, but why would I if normal mode gives practically the same amount? 2) I waited until this next reset to say this, but I completely thought that Bungie was gonna rotate the portal each week so there's new activities to grind. Adding onslaught is nice, but it's not enough. Everything else stayed the same besides Cutting Edge which is alright. I just think they should be rotating each week, like add Zero Hour to pinnacle or something. It's just very strange that Bungie only plans on adding 3 activities to the portal over the next 2 months (Starcrossed, Onslaught, The Coil). I know it's probably a lot to ask, but could they not add older seasonal activities too? There's Deep Dives, Vex Offensive, Forges, Menagerie, Shattered Realm, Nightmare Containment. There are PLENTY of activities they could add, yet they don't. 3) I don't need to write a lot about this one...but WHERE IN THE HECK ARE THE DUNGEONS AND RAIDS IN THE PORTAL??? Like why isn't there a tab right after crucible that says "Endgame", and it has a new dungeon and raid each week??? It just seems like an obvious thing to add, I don't maybe I'm the only one on that. 4) Bungie please don't make the world tab obsolete. One of my favorite parts of destiny that has been the staple is looking at the world tab, and seeing how the team meshed everything together. (BTW, I didn't buy the expansion and have no plans on buying it any time soon, so I have no comments on the campaign or anything from Kepler) I was telling my friend that after playing this new version of the game, it feels like those videos where the guy drills a hole into a piece of wood and fixes it with rice to look as good as new. I'm not sure how else to explain it, but for me the game doesn't have that feeling of freedom anymore. I'm not trying to sound like a doomer since I think most doomers just want the game to fails so they could say "I told you guys so", so I hope the comments I made here come off as constructive for the Bungie team (if they see this). I think the game has some great frameworks and new features for the future of d2, but they just need to capitalize on it.

      • I will say this, Bungie needs to fully address by TWAB AND fix their issues no later than the first week in August. Otherwise, all those who have left and looking to leave will stay gone. If not, Sony hopefully takes over then. I still am not sold on playing D2 much if at all. Good luck or collapse because I have lost interest.

      • Borrowing this from another poster I saw in another thread, but it feels like the game is at End of Life right now. They just totally gutted everything, all the vendors, etc. and the game just feels really empty now. Oh sure you can grind for your new tier 3/4 gear...and then use it to play Devil's Lair...a strike that has been in the game for 10+ years. Innovative gameplay.

        • It’s become a single player game with the option of multiplayer. Previously you’d have to use LFG to earn the top tier rewards. Now we can solo Q PvP end game content and no mic PvE. I think it’s worse for the changes personally.
