[i]My issue is something that will split the community so first I have to adress that from my PoV. I consider this game to be a solo player game with some multiplayer elements. I say that because almost all of it could have been played offline and solo - had offline-play been an option. It's also evident, based on data from various population data sites, that the vast majority of game time, across the population, is spent in activities that were balanced for solo play. [/i] So with that out of the way, the thing that annoys me the most - and I consider a huge missed opportunity on Bungie's part - is how almost every longterm goal in this game relies on players to also participate in the multiplayer aspects of the game. It should have been so easy to separate the two - giving solo players something to work toward too. As of now I just completely ignore trophies, titles etc - there's simply no point in caring about them because unless I fold and join an active clan, which is not something I'm interested in doing - I'll only be able to complete 95-99 % of said things. And unless you get to 100 % there's usually no point in doing them at all. My view on this would have been different - and was different - in a proper MMORPG but this isnt one of those games. Those games have living worlds where you're constantly interacting or at the very least meeting other players. They typically also have good systems in place for communication. Destiny went in the opposite direction; It likes to think of itself as a MMO but seemingly went out of its' way to prevent players from organically interacting. Activies are instanced, areas have a really low population cap, there's no global chat, LFG and VoiP were afterthoughts and not in the game from start...the list goes on. It's basically Halo - but you get to occassionally see other people sometimes. Hell, I would argue that their Halo games had more of a community, because it had good PvP that incentivized people to build relations.

Too much time investment for inusfficient reward.

Disrespect towards players trying to improve their PvP skills

Lack of build diversity, no new abilities, no new supers, no new stuff, build crafting with drip making for my guardians was something I enjoyed

The lack of certainty regarding the future of the game. Bungie loves to preach about they intend to keep Destiny around for years to come, but they've barely talked about it. Aside from the names Apollo and Frontiers, what do we know about the future of the game? Nothing. Except what it won't include. They've said they won't do expansions anymore. They're dropping the Episodic formula after only one year. And I doubt they're willing to go back to the Seasonal Model. I get that we still have one more Season left to go, but Bungie really needs to talk about Apollo and Frontiers more to put our minds at ease regarding where the game is going.

My biggest issue with the game is the matchmaking in trials, I’ll get an entire team of people who have 300+ flawlesses while my team has a combined 2 and both are mine.

It's made by a team of clowns with egos.

Health gated strike bosses. Let me cook

There is no attractive trait this game could bring to new players. I have seen what the 'New Light' quests do and they don't explain anything in any logical sense nor rhyme or rhythm, its all just go here and do this thing for this other thing but without explaining why nor will it guide people to actually learn anything. New Players don't need mixed up mumbo jumbo, they need a reason for why they are doing what they are doing. What they need is an all-in-one comprehensive guide for: Builds, Abilities, Weapons, Playlists, and a compressed story recap. This game is dying, sure you have some new players and just maybe a small amount that stay interested, but this game is losing players faster than it can bring new players in, and without any sense of direction after the New Light quests these new players are going to be lost as all hell. This is a small issue but it will never be addressed, and by the time it does, it won't matter. In time, Destiny will have become the next literal Destiny-Killer, ironic isn't it.
