I’m getting banned for this for sure🤣. So I am a PvP player, PvE during seasons / episodes became repetitive and stale so I don’t play unless I absolutely have to. Whatever He, She, They, It came up with this model for grinding and locking playlists behind “new gear only” needs to be fired. You are telling me that in order to play in some playlists I need to either go in with terrible stat armor or grind for weeks to months before I can access it??? Normal people can’t spend every waking moment playing destiny so that means we will get good stat armor right before this season ends. So when we finally get it we will be too late to grind for higher tier armor and weapons. I have got to say that all of this just feels bad, what’s the point? Grind power levels to get to a point where we can get higher stats on armor then the season ends and grind begins all over again… WHY? I get that you need players to be engaged with the game for longer. You chose to REQUIRE us to play longer to get great loot instead of making it fun for us to get the great loot… I think the player count dropping off of a cliff lets you know we don’t like where this is going. Making the power grind almost pointless will be the downfall of the game. We would grind for hours to get our light level up to play certain activities with an advantage and now all of that is pointless. Now it’s just a number to get access to another grind fest that becomes irrelevant at the end of the season.
