Congratz Aztecross and devs. You win. You've made it so that grinding is pointless. Make a victory video and put it in your twab about how you drove away the casuals.

Aztecross whines all the time there's not enough grind and that everything is too easy, cause he has all day every day to sit on and make the perfect bs loadouts. Aztecross never sherpas and tells the devs to not do anything with pvp. Every Aztecross video is just him saying we believe things that we don't. Well Congratz, you've drove away every normal person and casual. You broke the 30/70 rule of 30% pve and 70 PvP for an online game. You gave all the youtubers the exotics day 1 with some stupid reward system and didn't give it to anyone else in a reasonable time frame. Congrats. The systems are just repeat repeat repeat, no success in completing things and moving on. Nobody is playing your game, the clans all died.

  • Aztecross has the most annoying voice of any streamer. If catering to these toxic elitists is the hill Bungie wants to die on then all they have to do is look over the edge to see how painful that fall will be. Completely avoidable and completely self-inflicted.

  • Watch out now, you are going to get their fanboys in your DMs crying about how you are wrong about their masters. They might even say you are bad at the game. So hurtful. El oh el.

    The whole point of a video game for me is so I enjoy it when playing it. Content difficulty should be my choice and not something it is forced on me. Most people play in their free time, after work, in between family life and not because they record it, talk about it and get paid in the process. Youtubers are not the sole problem here but certainly have contributed to where we are now by wanting difficulty to be increased, by wanting nerfs to weapons, armour, etc. And as for the state of the game...well, as someone who plays it from D1 day one release and doesn't play anything else it has lost the 'fun' element a while ago through removing content we actually paid for, removing weapons we grinded for through sunsetting, fixing any player advantage we had instantly but leaving bugs, issues and cheaters as if these simply don't exist. From the commercial point of view, this is very badly run venture where the top management knows the ship is sinking but still asks its customers to pay extra for the life buoy despite us, the customers, paying already for premium cabin on this cruise to nowhere.

  • Yeah, it's almost as if 20 people can't carry a multi-billion dollar company ... who would've thought? Oh well, I'll cheer their downfall, I'll throw a party for him having to get a real job to support his family, like the rest of us. Knowing him though, he'll just purchase another chair, and switch to reaction content. "Another week boys, and another reaction to Brazilian butt lifts gone wrong"!

  • You remember when Datto said bungie should not care about casual players cause the game it’s for tryhards like him. All they do it’s burn through content in one day, complain about this weapon build too OP and even the game it’s too easy.

    • Streamers/influencers ruined this game years ago it's not a recent thing. The game has been garbage since lightfall. Their ideas and opinions have shaped the game into what it is and what it's once thriving community has become and yet they take absolutely no responsibility for the state of the game. They even go as far as to blame YOU the community for being toxic ( side looking you datto you little weasel) Now alot of them are jumping ship and going to try and find other games to ruin and try to take their viewers with them. They truly don't care about what's best for any game or community at large, they care about views and money in the bank. My advice is to steer clear of any content creators and their channels that play games for a living unless they are purely release review based or instructional/guides. If they play or stream games for a living their opinions and ideas are completely bias and always will be , particularly if they only main the one game. Their livleyhood is dependant on the game catering to their needs and wants and how much content they can squeeze out of it.

      • The neglect of PvP is honestly killing the game. Destiny 2 is on the same engine that made Halo so popular. A game people still look back on miss. New halos are not on the same engine and the “feel” just isn’t the same. Please bungie capitalize on the advantage you have had from day 1…. A great feeling arena shooter engine. It’s crazy I have to go into my command prompt and turn off aim soothing on pc…. It’s crazy there are no comp weapons anymore… It’s crazy there are not set loadouts that are “okay” so new players can just jump into the game and be competitive. It’s not hard…. Watch. Loadout. 1.Hc + shotty w mobility exotic. Give (banshee 44 rose + compas rose) boom login to hero that’s already set up. How would new players know to do this? 2. Redrix estock (shax roll + compass rose) pair with lunifactions RDMs …. Titan boots 3. Scout rifle + smg or sidearm. (Pair with movement exotic or quick swap exotic) Give options for players to mix and match shotguns or hand cannons and nerf linear fusions

          I deeply despise all streamers, influencers, whatever they want to call themselves... I cant believe a bunch of kids that neither study nor work (streaming is NOT an actual job, deal with it!!) having so much voice. Is just absurd.

            • Aztecross, Datto and the like are not your friends. They will always prioritize their revenue over your fun. Giving them money is actually insane.

              • Aztecross cannot be a Sherpa because he’s a carry 😀 I’ve seen his last few attempts in world first and was pathetic. He’s getting carried in PvP too by ZK and FB regularly. How is this loud a** so popular and why his opinion has any weight is beyond my comprehension?!

                Don't get distracted. The streamers are not the main problem. Bungie's insistence on exploiting the player base with ever decreasing levels of new content but increasing the grind has always been the issue. Look at the main problems we had from Edge of Fate, streamers didn't ask for those and most of us knew they would be problems on launch: 1. The portal is souless and complicates the player experience for very little value. Everyon is going to put on the easiest modifiers for ops. Portal shoupd clearly have been a supplement and not a replacement for the director. 2. Unstable cores in no way helps with "buildcrafting". Actually I want someone to try and explain to me how Bungie thought it was suppose to "help" when it was clearly a worst system with the only function of forcing you to grind for new gear, at an exponential cost. Only widespread community revolt is getting this deleted. This one was an outright lie by Bungie, and we aall knew it. 3. Making tiered loot drop only for new activities, while we kind of guessed only new activities would have tiered loot. Think this surprised some people including streamers. Yes Bungie, we know you want us to hit your KPI and "prove" that the new systems were successful. 4. And the worst thing was effectively soft sunsetting all old content by not only not having tiered loot, which was bad enough, but also by not having loot give light level increases. You can argue that making old loot tiered was too time consuming, fair enough. So what is the excuse for it dropping *far* below light level? So not much new contrnt, but at the same time making old content worthless to play.

              • 💡 How to Revive Destiny 2? Give Us the “Exotic Heart”! Everyone keeps talking about how to “fix” Destiny 2 — less monetization, more content, better balance. But what if the solution is the opposite? What if Destiny needs to become overpowered again? ⸻ 🩸 The Concept: The Exotic Heart Every Exotic weapon and armor piece could have a chance to gain an Exotic Heart — an ultra-rare, mystical upgrade that takes the item to a whole new level. These Hearts can’t be crafted, focused, or targeted. They’re pure RNG, incredibly rare drops — the kind of loot that makes you scream in disbelief when you finally get one. ⸻ 🔥 Examples: • Hard Light – Exotic Heart: Kills trigger weakening explosions. Kills on weakened targets cause an additional blinding explosion. Also: no damage falloff. • One-Eyed Mask – Exotic Heart: Keep all original perks, plus a permanently active radar, even while aiming. ⸻ 🧠 Why This Could Work Destiny 2 has become too predictable. Everything is balanced, controlled, and carefully tuned. The “Exotic Heart” system would bring back mystery, excitement, and prestige. It would give players something legendary to chase again — that wild dream of finding the perfect, one-of-a-kind version of their favorite Exotic. In short: ➡️ More chaos. ➡️ More fantasy. ➡️ More Destiny. ⸻ 💬 What do you think? Would this system be genius or completely broken? Would you love the idea of your favorite Exotic having a hidden, god-tier version out there in the wild? Or would that level of RNG and power creep destroy balance? And honestly? If Destiny is going down, let’s go out with a Gjallarhorn moment — a final, glorious explosion of chaos and fun that reminds us why we fell in love with this game in the first place. 💥

              • I dont mind grinding. But when it’s repetitive like this portal system thats when it’s a problem.

              • I'm sorry but you're wrong on this one cross has nothing to do with it. Don't you think he sees more what's going on than what you and I would. The grind was too much I've been playing the edge of Fate since it began and I'm just now reaching 480. For as long as I've played destiny it's never taking a couple of months to get to the highest level in this game ever. Cross doesn't always get it right and then I turn to defend him here but in this one I am

                    • It's mainly the player base that drive others away. Streamers are a voice but the player base will also echo what they say.
