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

It makes the casuals so mad having to play the game to get things. The audacity!!! I turned on the game and went to the tower where is my Tier 5 gear!! But yeah leveling is a slog
