The grind up to 399 is awful, pre Edge of Fate power grind needed work but was in no way near this horrible.
Can't play with friends if any of us want worth while loot since we're all at different power levels and it skews rewards.
Power grind 399 onwards is absolutely disgusting, it is literally (insert your preferred poison here simulator), run the same activity a thousand times + to go up a few power levels.
There is no power fantasy, there is still some fun . . . but barely.
I think at this point Bungie you need to make a decision -
Continue trying to cater to the top 10% elitists and streamers and lose the other 90%
or
Cater to the other 90% of people that play this game who have jobs that require 40+ hour weeks etc who don't find the game ridiculously easy because they don't get paid to play it 24/7 and just turn a deaf ear to the elitist / streamer complaints that feel the game is too easy for themselves.
You cannot have both.
I am definitely not enjoying Destiny 2 : Streamers Edition

Edited by Dooodley: 8/4/2025 10:03:54 PMI have to say, it wasnt that bad up until 300. Between work and commuting I'll have days where I cant play at all and I havent dedicated any days off to playing. I've played when I wake up early - and there's nothing better to do - and an hour here and there to knock out the daily resets. I'm currently at 312 but I'm starting to notice it progressing slower and normal PvP isnt really a valid option at all. That said, with the rumors of it being ten times worse between 400 and 450 and upcoming resets back to 200 they've made me less invested so I dont care - which also affects me in the sense that I dont care for other things in the game either and I'm not sure that's what they want from their players.
