Power grind is disgusting
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
-
They can in effect have both if they: Stop caring how fast a streamer levels. AND Stop caring if the top 10% elite players can one shot stuff that is a realistic difficulty for average players. AND Still make the hardest content for them, GMs, master level raids, and dungeons, etc AND Do not exclude average players from things like the seasonal exotic And STOP for the love of all that is good with the power level caps in activities. We like power fantasy, without the forced builds and god roll weapon perks. Those of us who do not have hours to grind out those few right rolls on the correct weapons will forever be at a disadvantage to those that have the hours to grind for that one right drop. Which could be fixed by dropping half of the perk pool. Reduce the number of perks available for each weapon and make those that remain actually worth owning even if they are not the best roll possible. BUT Bungie would never go for FUN and ENGAGING over boring and tedious. They fail to realize more players is better for every metric. Better most of all for the bottom line.
