The grind is mind numbing and brutal
I want to start off by saying I understand I’m not an s tier destiny player but I’ve put in my fair share of time and effort. Destiny has always been about the grind to get cool loot to show off and have fun in the endgame, but getting there had become downright dreadful. It’s still early in EOF so content in the portal would be limited but out of all the content over the years and we are stuck to less than 5-10 missions even worth grinding. While repeating those same missions over and over you only get decent loot if you meet rank requirements. yes I can get T5 solstice gear but that continues they cycle of wasted content, why grind for other sets or weapons if I want a chance of remaining competitive with the 10% -blam!- 400 by now. Godroll farming is close to unbearable for me I have horrific rng I can’t even get a roll I want on the campaign auto (50+ roll) and if I do get a good tier I get awful perk. Am I the only only sick and tired of this grind?

Edited by FloodZ: 8/7/2025 3:32:27 PMThe game used to be balanced so it was possible for a majority of casual players to reach max level by the end of a season. Maybe they weren't raid ready, or Crucible ready, but they didn't feel like they were leaving anything on the table. Now they've balanced progress in the game to cater to the small population that has 3+ hours per day, every day, to play this game and completely ruined it for the people who play for less than 20 (I'd argue even 30-40) hours per week. And it didn't even work; the people who were complaining things were to easy and they progressed too fast still ground their way to max power and light in a couple of weeks. I would be interested to see how much time the median Destiny player spends in the game, I'd be willing to bet it's far, far less than the amount of time it's going to take to reach 450. I'll also be interested to see what the median power level is for a Destiny player at the end of the season. If it's over 300, I'll be pretty surprised.

Focus on getting to 400. Then go after weapons. The solstice event really helps with this. Buy the armor per character from gma. All those drops are huge gains + the weapons in the event track.

I think most of the community were burned out on grind… still having to do the same activities from years ago is just so dull
