Same; You’ve locked meaningful progression (like T5 gear) behind artificial power barriers to keep us playing longer, stretching the grind for things we actually want—gear and weapons that can be used at higher tiers. The worst part? You made old content the most efficient way to get there. Your community has been clear: stop the time-gating. It’s killing the game. Now, you’ve released a DLC where the entire game is built around that same flawed system. Is it just for player retention? And even when we can finally reach for T5 gear and weapons, the content still drags us down with ridiculous modifiers like -20 or -30 power. It’s not okay. I canceled my $99 preorder to wait and see how the expansion turned out. I ended up buying the $40 version instead—and I’m glad I did. The best post I saw said this: This expansion is like going to Planet Fitness, but before you can enter, you’re forced to run 6 miles. Then, at the door, there’s a bouncer asking for a tip before you’re even allowed to lift weights. On a positive note: the narrative was strong, and I did enjoy the campaign. But if this same cycle continues next season, I’ll just watch Evan or Byf cover it—I’m not going to pay to be held hostage outside the gym.
