I have played Destiny since D1 Beta and this new power grind is absolute s**t. Like what were you thinking, the portal is so lackluster, the power grind is a disaster, and the new armor system is a complete joke, you cannot artifice new exotic armor! It's so easy to earn strange coins and there's no where to spend them at all if you have all exotics (weapons/armor) the power grind alone is absolute trash, who wants to play 10 year old s**t for a miniscule power creep of gear, mythic is stupid, the portal is atrocious, it's like the blind leading the blind, you have to select every single activity to see if the gear even drops higher or not, there's no clear directive of what to do or play after finishing the campaign (Icons before EoF) other than to power creep, the scoring system is stupid AF, wanna know the worst of it all, Bungie is forcing everyone to wear new gear for bonus points/damage/etc, so what's the point of the artifice gear alot of us grinded for all these years, exotics drop at trash base stats, new armor we're forced to use is also base stat trash, you can't play activities if you're not using new gear!!!!! Like honest to God who in the holy f**k at bungie decided that any of this was a good idea, the game has been out for 11 years and now you decide to tank it completely and just completely alienate your remaining player base? Nobody wanted any of this, and I mean no one, we just tolerate it bcuz we play it daily, but even those people are tired of it. The story of the campaign....absolutely great, everything else, complete and utter s**t, wake up and fix this s**tshow. I'm telling you this right now, whoever is still left is NOT going to pay for anymore DLC until you make this right. We're fed up and ready to find something else.

Think about it as a very clever but sneaky move by Bungie to save their -blam!-es. Players: this grind is over the top too taxing Bungie to Sony: have you seen how many hours the player base has been grinding? Players: we should be able to use our artifice armour and craftable weapons that we spent years grinding for, and not forced to use this new rubbish just for bonuses. Bungie to Sony: we must be doing something right cos the players are ditching their old stuff for the new gear. Players: three quarters of raid completions were cheating and should be perma banned. Bungie to Sony: The new raid was a huge success. Although we made it super challenging, look how many completions there were.......and all legit.......as far as we know. Basically, they threw the majority of players under the bus to impress Sony with a "[b]successful[/b]" new style of Destiny, and it blew up in their face.
