Tiered gear system will shut out normal players
I truly believe this will be it for the majority of players. Most people play D2 for the experience. The gear system that is being explained will only create even more elitism than currently exists in D2. Streamers have won completely. If the current ultimatum difficulty has shown, adepts and higher tiered weapons and armor will give the elite a constant advantage. When that happens I typically stop playing the game slowly. There's no point trying to overcome that wall.

7 RepliesYeah, that was kind of my concern as well. Despite what the elitist no-lifes on the forums want to believe, casual players DO make up the majority of Destiny's playerbase, or at least they used to when it was at its peak, and depending on how bad the lower tiers of gear are, I'm pretty concerned that it may drive them away from Destiny, or reduce the number of casuals able to join us in endgame content even further. Heck, if being able to put together a decent functioning build at all requires me to grind a ton of hard endgame content, I might not have the motivation for that either, especially if I'm gonna have to do it with a bad build in the beginning.
