BUNGIE is Setup to Fail - Points that NEED Fixing: (Poll: are you excited for Destiny's future?)
1, [b](Re)Grinding[/b] - Think a big reason why many players don't enjoy grinding anymore is because the game loop has been very stale & predictable for years on end from a macro perspective - if the game doesn't considerably update itself on a semi-regular basis, people get bored/tired of the same old same old and move onto the new freshness somewhere else...
2, [b]Serving the Audience/Quality of Content/Management[/b] - Reality is, Destiny doesn't cater it's audience, it has previously tried to extract the most from the least possible resources, relying on gimmicks and cheap burn content on average - seasons/episodes are at a very poor quality and the team isn't agile enough to shift development at a fast enough pace due to poor management, institutional bloat and a of lack of overarching vision. I like Tyson Green and think their vision for the game is what's been needed for a long time, If this can be executed and at a pace that can retain/grow players remains to be seen.
3, [b]PR & Trust[/b] - As much as I like Destiny 2 for some things, Bungie has destroyed a significant part of their own fanbase. Goodwill and trust is sorely lacking, to the point many want to see Bungie fail due to the volume of their mistakes & perceived arrogance - Bungie is not a likeable company, as much as some might think this doesn't matter, it often has a large impact on overall game sales and marketing.

4 Replies1) Grinding in Destiny serves no purpose - that's the problem in a nutshell. In MMOs, you grind for gear in order to try something new, some particular focus for your class and subclass, and once you've done that, you can either keep that build or try something new to serve a different role. And that gear won't stop being relevant, but at worst it might become a slightly weaker version of the best in slot gear. Destiny has no roles, and no gear that really focusses on a class or subclass (beyond some very specific exotic gear which usually ends up being so incredibly niche, it will barely survive the meta for one season. No point in grinding for something if it becomes irrelevant the moment you obtain it. 2) Bungie still don't know how seasonal content should work. You should have a reason to log in at least once a week (or a reason to cram for the last four weeks of the cycle). Not completing the whole thing in week one and then having to wait three months. Not providing a week's worth of new content and then trying to make it stretch a month until the next act. Small additions on a regular cadence; it may not blow your socks off, but it will keep you coming back. 3) I don't understand why this has come as such a late revelation for most players; I stopped trusting Bungie the minute Destiny 2 was [u]announced[/u], because that went against the entire mission statement for the original game. Since then, they've 'sunsetted' content I've paid for, cheated me out of dungeon keys and season passes and failed to deliver on their promises time, after time, after time. For me, it's not that they've lost trust as much as they've put the minimum effort in to gain it in the first place.
