I dunno, maybe I'm just too old for this sh*t. 🤷 But I've got dough... which, until now, I've been happy to squander on season passes, DLCs, upgraded event cards, and weekly Eververse trash.
I've invested $1,000+ and several thousand hours. Despite the steep learning curve, I persisted, learned, grew, gitted gudder. It's been fun and I've met some truly great people, but sadly, the game has clearly jumped the shark.
The whole rich get richer, and play how you want as long as you use a meta build, construct was irksome. Catering to streamers at the expense of normies, a ponderous business model. But lame AF is the last straw.
Last season was actually fun (ish) again. But matterspark hasn't been fun since Metroid. Constant buildcrafting overhauls have never been fun. 1 in 150 odds of getting a decent (3/5) roll or 1 in 3,000+ odds of getting a god (5/5) roll is absurd. Pointless PVE mechanics, PVP cheats, dysfunctional servers, poorly recycled content, product managers who clearly don't eat their own dog food... it's frustrating and far too exhausting.
Good luck, Guardians. And thank you for the good times and great memories!

What sucks the most to me is the trend of solo/fireteam only patrol areas now. Kepler is the same as Pale Heart, it just feels empty. I was running some Overthrow last night grinding class items in Pale Heart and was just thinking about much better it would be if there were just 3-4 other random guardians running around killing stuff and doing their activities. The world of Destiny feels so empty now and is a total joke for as much as they keep trying to call this game an MMO.
