There is so much wrong with this game at the moment. Not only do Vendor ranks need to be reinstated, but the entire game needs to be reverted back to pre Edge of Failure, as per my rant here :- https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/264996894/0/0 Look at the minuscule changes they’ve implemented since we started expressing our displeasure and more importantly since the numbers started to fall. It isn’t enough. The Portaloo has made the game dull, boring, broken and a chore. The so called “improvements” haven’t done anything much to improve the game as the Portaloo is still there. Running strikes/PvP/Gambit for three pinnacles from the pathfinder along with the exotic engrams we used to get from that and the nightfall was significantly more fun than running a million -blam!--ing Caldera/K1/Creation/Salt Mines or whatever in solo ops. You should have had more people in to tell you that the Portaloo was a monumentally awful idea and should never ever have been put into the game. It needs to change and go back to what we had before. Now of course, we all know your modus operandi:- [quote]“Never take the blame… redirect… and fail to be better. That’s the Bungie way of doing things” Lord Bungo.[/quote] …but that has to change. Get rid of the Portaloo. Revert almost everything back to pre Edge of Fate. Get rid of weapons tiers, so we don’t feel like the last 3/4 years of collecting and grinding for the best weapons was a complete waste of time. Keep the armour, the changes to the stats, get rid of the tiers and make the armour stats drop based on power level. Then put that system into all the armour that drops in the game, working backwards from the most recent to the earliest. The first being the entirety of TFS and LF. Whilst we are on the subject of power level, do not reset us in Renegades, because if you do, the remaining player base is going to tank, hard. But none of this is going to happen, your egos are tied to this version of the game. You literally can’t admit that you were wrong. Which means unless you admit this overhaul of the game’s systems was a mistake, revert most of the changes, not only are you going to continue to tank the franchise and your studio, but it’ll also guarantee that Marathon is DOA. And this will due to your tarnished reputation from the poor handling that of your flagship franchise, ie Destiny. Just in case you forgot what has been paying your wages for the last decade or more. Remember if you aren’t enjoying this game and want it to change, the only way that Bungie will listen is if we just stop playing. Bungie only look at data, we have to show them that their asinine decisions and actions are counterproductive to their projected revenue and engagement.
