Don't know what the mix is of solo vs. Fireteam oriented players in Destiny. I'm solo. Always have been.
What I don't appreciate is having to participate in cooperative activities - by design, in order to advance my guardian's tier.
2 seasons ago, I leveled up to Justiciar (rank 8). That took some time and dedication. It was an adventure and an accomplishment. Gave me some gaming goals.
This season, in order to make it past rank 6, "Veteran", Bungie has applied social engineering to the game, forcing players into cooperative mode game play in order to advance.
I don't have the time, patience or desire to play that way. I'd PAY not to. (I'd pay for Raid gear too, but Bungie won't consider that either).
So, after nearly 10 years of Destiny, I'm gone. I'm done. You've blocked my advancement. You've limited my character's growth and game play. All in the name of forcing me into a gaming style.
Nicely done.
Makes me wonder how many other players have abandoned the game for the same reason? At what subscription cost?

You blocked your advancement. They didn't force you into anything. You just don't want to do the optional thing in front of you and have chosen to take your ball and go home instead, which is totally fine btw, but it's your doing, not the game's. Guardian rank 7 requires you play with more people than yourself. You're clearly unwilling to do that. Unwilling is not unable.
