1. Portal Sucks - Everything about it sucks.
2. Weekly Event Track - Sucks, no one wants to play stupid amounts of anything just to complete an event track.
3. Broken/Bugged Activities - you continue to add things to the game but don't fix the existing issues, it's clear at this point that people want things fixed as a priority over new things to do.
4. New Content is worthless - Plaguelands?!?!? It's the same activity for 3 different starting points. Vehicles have no health at grandmaster level. No tooltips for players that have no clue about new mechanics.
5. Leveling Grind is the Worst Ever - Before EoF people loved leveling, it was easy and a lot of dedicated players enjoyed the grind, now you have literally made it the most boring, awful thing in the game. Leveling up gear +1/+2 levels at a time, it's almost like you want people to leave the game.
6. Conquests vs Nightfalls - so farming nightfalls was a thing a lot of people loved, now with conquests, you can farm great, but you only get worthwhile gear on 1st completion, how is this an improvement. IT'S NOT! Also congrats require only new gear? Who the blue hell thought that was a good idea.
7. No more weekly raids/dungeons farmable GM nightfalls - like I get there's story progression beyond final shape, but why take these away from players, especially when they could have been used for leveling up faster.
8. Featured Exotics - this one is self explanatory, it's just dumb.
9. Armor 3.0 - way to truly screw up armor, so basically unless a player is playing a stupid amount of hours in the game to be 400+ and getting tier 4/5 gear, the armor is worthless. While the 100 and over part is great, the rest is just so blah, tier 3 and lower is just not worth it, most of your player base doesn't put the time in. Exotic 3.0 gear is awful, you can't even get 95/96 stat exotic armor like before 3.0, right now exotics drop a max of 63 stat, and there's no extra slot to put a cipher in to make it plus 28 so it's stuck at 25 (Max 88)
10. Eververse Microtransactions - you're losing players in droves but yet your still throwing all this crap into a silver only category, reward the remaining players with bright dust options.
11. Seasonal Rewards - went from 200 to 110, this one self explains.
12. Currency Issues - this one is a big issue for me, there are not enough sources to spend Ciphers, since exotics don't have an artifice slot anymore. Unstable Cores, don't even get me started on the cost to level up gear with Unstable Cores, you got rid of legendary shards, which wasn't a horrible system, but replaced it with this hot garbage, so as if level grinding wasn't bad enough, now if people wanna level up vaulted gear they must spend ridiculous amounts of Unstable Cores to do so. This is actually my biggest complaint in the game, getting rid of Upgrade Modules is possibly the biggest complaint from me.
13. Hawthorne - Hawthorne now gives worthless gear for playing with clan members, all gear drops at 200.
14. Exotic Engram Changes - so some open world engrams drop at 200 but some at level, make it make sense.
15. Your Priorities are whack - broken/bugged issues should be resolved first and foremost, level grinding and prime engram drops should have been an already fixed issue.
*** It feels like you want players to put obscene amounts of hours into this game just to be able to do anything worth while, you have taken the fun out of playing the game, level grinding is no longer fun, only having certain activities to play in the portal feels like a big-time miss. No one wants to play the current game the way it is and it's like no one at Bungie cares, literally.***
I'm sure I'm forgetting things so please add anything I didn't mention and let's blow this post out of the water and into Bungo HQ.

At this point, apathy has set in. I don’t know about you but after I read your post, I thought “Why am I bothering?”. Bungie don’t care, the paid/unpaid mods and ninjas here don’t care. They issue forum warnings/bans whenever you cleverly use video form memes to mock Bungie. Which they did to me less than 6 hours ago. The only way this gets better is if we stop caring. Stop playing. Admittedly it may very well be counterproductive and the game gets shut down. Really though if we aren’t enjoying the game and we hate the direction it’s been going, what are we really going to miss? The game we loved has mostly disappeared, we aren’t having fun. Bungie don’t listen to our feedback and don’t implement it quickly enough for us to continue to support this game and this franchise. So what are we doing? I know some of you love this game. As did I, but not playing this week has been a like a wake up call. The grind is meaningless in terms of feeling stronger and the worst it’s been since D1 “Forever 29”, on top of being utterly pointless given the looming reset in Renegades. Given the utter debacle of the “Major” 🤣 mid season update that was Ash and Iron, does ANYONE have confidence that Bungie can right the ship in three months and actually deliver content that is good, stable and without game breaking bugs???? Because I certainly don’t. This is it. Destiny 2 is either going to have a miraculous resurrection, which could happen or more likely it’s going to continue down the road it’d been going down. If it’s more of the same then I don’t want to play anymore.
