What I would love to see

I've played almost every Destiny 2 expansion, except for one. At some point, I just got fed up with the monetization. After spending over €100 on the most expensive edition of an expansion, only to find out I still had to buy a separate Dungeon Key, I'd had enough. I uninstalled the game and didn't touch it for quite a while. And this is coming from someone who has spent a lot of money on Destiny 2 over the years, including Eververse purchases. I genuinely loved playing D2 with friends, grinding activities, chasing loot, and improving my builds. But when I eventually returned, I just couldn't get back into Destiny 2 the way I used to. Don't get me wrong, I actually liked many of the changes, especially the improvements to buildcrafting and the armor rework. But there was one thing that completely ruined the experience for me: **loot management**. Instead of feeling excited about getting new loot, I started dreading it. Every new weapon or armor piece meant having to check its perks and stats, compare it to what I already had, and decide whether to keep it, dismantle it, or use it. And yes, I know there are third-party websites and tools that can help with this. But those tools still need to load your inventory, connect to Bungie's API, and process everything. That's assuming the API is actually working and hasn't gone down again. Even when everything works perfectly, it still takes too much time and effort just to figure out whether a piece of loot is worth keeping. And I had to go through this process after almost every activity. Otherwise, my inventory, vault, or Postmaster would quickly fill up. The problem is that I don't play Destiny 2 every day anymore. I have limited time, and there are other games I enjoy playing as well. So I don't have every god roll or ideal perk combination memorized. That meant constantly having to look things up, compare items, and figure out whether something was worth keeping. It became incredibly time-consuming. And honestly, **when getting new loot starts feeling more like doing administration than actually playing a looter-shooter, something is wrong.** Eventually, I stopped caring about new drops altogether. I would just dismantle almost everything without even checking it. And that's pretty sad for a game where getting loot is supposed to be one of the main reasons to keep playing. **So what would I like to see improved?** Whether it's in Destiny 2 or hopefully a future Destiny 3, I'd love to see some serious quality-of-life improvements to loot management. I'm not even sure that simply increasing vault space is the answer. Sure, it might help temporarily, but in the long run, we'd probably end up with exactly the same problem. What I'd really like is a system that allows us to **[b]mark specific perks, perk combinations, or stats that we're looking for[/b]**, either for particular weapon types, armor pieces, or even specific items. Then, whenever new loot drops, the game could automatically **highlight the perks or stats that match our preferences**. Imagine opening your inventory after an activity and immediately being able to see which items have something you're interested in. No need to inspect every single item, memorize dozens of perk combinations, or constantly rely on external websites and tools. Just one glance, and you'd know which drops are worth taking a closer look at. And the best part is that this wouldn't even need to tell players what's good or bad. Everyone has different preferences, builds, and playstyles. It would simply help players identify loot that matches what they're personally looking for, without having to do all the manual checking. I think something like this would make a massive difference, especially for more casual players or veterans who simply don't have the time to play every day anymore. Personally, I usually have **two hours a day at most** to play Destiny 2. I want to spend those two hours actually enjoying the game, doing activities with friends, chasing rewards, and experimenting with builds. **I don't want to spend half of my limited gaming time sorting through loot just to figure out what I can safely dismantle.** For me, improving this part of the game would make getting loot exciting again, instead of making it feel like a chore. Because at the end of the day, **I want to play Destiny 2, not spend my time managing a Destiny 2 inventory.**
