As the only way we progress above 300 in pve is with locked loadouts, most of the loot we earn sits in our vault

If locked loadouts were not currently tied to progression, I would be fine with locked loadouts. BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Locked loadouts in PVE master and grandmaster is forcing us to use a very limited range of gear. Furthermore, many endgame activities have multiple, different sections with stress points, and being able to switch weapons makes ABSOLUTE sense. In some sections, a sword might be useful, while in others, a machine gun is better. Now, we have to choose our loadout in advance, which is a major problem in matchmade quickplay, We can't discuss out loadouts as a fireteam in advance and instead of variety of weapons all having different benefits, I often end up in quickplay with all three players with the exact same loadout. Being forced by Bungie to use a very limited number of weapons and armor in every endgame, progression activity just isn't fun. You have taken all the joy out of finding great loot. Stop tying the entirety of pve 300+ progression to locked loadouts or give us other ways to progress. Stop creating an endless grind that takes all the fun out of Destiny and let us use the stuff we earn. Keep locked loadout for ultimate fireteam ops only. Note: I am aware the new raid doesn't have locked loadouts, but according to statistics, only 11 percent of Destiny players have ever completed a raid,.

  • Seriously? Your problem is with an easy modifier to counter. If you haven’t got a load out to use for leveling at over 360 power level, that’s on you bud.

  • There are other ways to progress other than the match made options.

Don’t use the modifier, don’t use matchmaking, and create your own team so you can coordinate, none of this is rocket science. Unless Avant Garde is active, you aren’t forced to do anything. There isn’t a single piece of content in the portal, even at GM difficulty, that needs weapon or load-out swaps. Stress points? You’re speaking out of your a$$ lol.

      And to address another thing since I have nothing better to do because I'm bored of grinding Caldera... "most of the loot we earn sits in the vault" You have a hoarding issue that probably stems from real life. There's a dismantle option. If you're not using it, get rid of it.

      As far as your statistics on Raid clears... there's a lot of things that contribute to that: Mostly, -blam!- that don't want to teach people. Or they expect you to spend hours watching videos on youtube before hand. Not everyone learns that way or has time for that when it's really not that hard to teach people that are willing to learn. Most clans you try to join typically have a set group that raids thus limiting ability to join even through that. Or the opposite end of that is you join a clan and nobody is raiding or willing to teach because it's "not the most effective way to level". (Which tbf, that is a Bungie issue, but still a reason.) I've never tried a raid through fireteam finder, but I'm sure that's a mess as well. A lot of people tend to not have an interest in trying to learn the raids, or they refuse to take loadout advice and just get mad because their auto rifle is literally not doing enough damage to the boss. Then there's the issue of finding 6 people that can set a block of time aside to run a raid that requires teaching someone new. None of that has anything to do with "locked" loadouts unless you're trying to raid with the super elite - in which case, read the room. You clearly don't fit in there.
