Bungie, you've lost your way and I don't know if there is a way to come back from this. Considering that I haven't played in a month and a half, I think I'm done. While I was away, I was playing RoboCop and getting into CyberPunk 2077. You know, having fun. After playing Destiny: Rising it brought up some real disdain that I have for you as a company. Why is all the fun stuff that we wanted not in your game but it's in Destiny: Rising? Sometimes, I just want to fish and catch a gun or two. It's that simple, really. Cheaters are still running rampant in your game and have been for literal years. The last time I was in PVP it felt unplayable. Are you actively trying to kill your game or do you just not care? Your moto use to be "We make games that we want to play." Things have definitely changed since then.
Not only did you guys not listen to your community, you decided to work on something that your fanbase didn't ask for. AND on top of that, you were caught stealing ideas/artwork AGAIN! You could have just worked on Destiny 3 with Unreal Engine 5.6, but no. Ya'll chose to -blam!- off and make something no one asked for. And of course it was a -blam!- show.
I've spent around $3-400 in expansions and season pass's from the very beginning of D2. Almost all of that content that I payed for is not playable and in some cases lost entirely (Red War) due to the inability of Bungie to come up with a reasonable plan that is respectful to their community. Find a way to expand your game. If it means what it means, then I guess it is what it is. You might have to rebuild some systems to make it happen. Oh well. Also, for you to introduce a completely new system and not provide a way to upgrade old gear is a slap in the face to everyone and their time. Some people, including me, have grinded for literally years to get all of our stuff. This is in between a job, working on cars/ our house, taking care of our kids, taking care of our parents, taking care of siblings (if this is your role), going to school if you're still in it, and just life in general. The time that I do spend playing your game better not be a waste of time. But instead, now it's all just useless? That's just fantastic... awesome...
NetEase is literally dunking on ya'll right now and I'm having a blast off of the $20 total that I've spent.
I've included a video and a picture, for your convenience, in case you didn't have basic context clues. (I don't think you do) You're Spiderman, if you didn't guess correctly. vvv

Good luck saving your game. I won't be a part of it anymore.

Ahhhhh, couldn't have said it any better than that. For me...and I'm going to step out there. The developers lack innovation/creativity (example: constant redskins, lack of exotic armor/weapons synergy, no creativity on armor set visually). The inability to maintain the lore/storyline and introduce concepts that just don't synergisticall grow with the game. It's like a constant "hell marries" praying one will eventually rejuvenate the game. In my opinion Bungie wasted 5yrs., building other games that aren't worth the player bases time (marathon and destiny rising). Like WTF would i pay for a mobile version of Destiny, when the console version is just disappointing? It's time to reevaluate your leadership, your developers focus/innovation/creativity and it's time to finally listen to your players and not just your content lovers....who are all motivated by $$$.
