The game constantly needing to be reinvented/updated/meta-shifted/etc every couple months or players who no life the game lose their minds.

I want story content. Seasons are a poor excuse for DLC. Couldn't care less about armour 2.0 because I've got nothing that makes me want to play the game, anyway.

Old ass people playing the game. If you’re over 30 stop playing. You’re a loser in real life and we don’t want you online with us.

Content trickle. Bad quest drops or mediocre bosses for an activity feel even worse when they wait weeks to give them to us. If they reverted back to the "throw everything and the kitchen sink" style of releasing content, content drops wouldn't feel nearly as empty, I'd wager. Even if there isn't a lot of content in the season, it will feel like a lot more if it's all dumped on us at once. I think Bungie should go to a 6 month content release schedule, and use the "kitchen sink" approach, and we'd be much happier.

My vote was other. I think the biggest problem is the same issue that destiny had which is leaving older content behind. The game has a ton of content and lots of vendors in it but nothing has been refreshed to keep any of it relevant. Also not having enough gear to go for anymore. Faction vendors are still missing. Lack of unique strike gear that made destiny strikes worth playing. Just my thoughts

Honestly I think a lot of these go hand in hand. The Armor 2.0 system seemed like a great idea at first, when it seemed like they were giving us freedom over our armour essentially turning every armour piece in the game into an ornament that we could then customise to our desired play style and giving us full control over our aesthetic. However the reality is that it actually just locked us into another set of arbitrary grinds. The freedom over our aesthetic doesn't really happen because of season exclusive mods, and it costs so much to masterwork gear that you're hesitant to waste those materials on items that you could get a better alternative to any day. Grinding shouldn't be an issue for most people in this game, since the game is a grind. However that grind does become tedious and irritating when players don't feel like the game is respecting their time. It's that idea that I find is the core issue with Bungies strategy lately, it's that they aren't respecting the players time and that's what leads to burnout. Recycling content, having you do more and more busywork, spending more time chasing fewer rewards (for instance Ascendant Shards are stupidly hard to come by, I've only ever had 5 drop), which you'll never not need because every armour piece comes in 3 flavours with completely random stats. Then you add the time gating of content into the mix and it's very hard to not see through the cynical motivations for doing so. The hardcore player base are going to want to do their pinnacle grind, so by only giving them 1 raid source and 3 outside raid sources (not including IB) for that gear you're needlessly holding them back from their goals for 5 weeks assuming they're lucky. Because people like myself are getting nothing but energy weapons and arms which is making things very tedious. So why do Bungie feel the need to do this? Because there isn't that much in the game to work towards, so they throw tons of busy work at you hoping you don't realise that you're not really doing anything. Why is this the case? Because at least half the rewards you should be grinding for and getting your clan together to do triumphs for are sitting in Eververse for 500 - 1000 silver. Like for real, does there really need to be 6 exotic ships and 6 exotic ghosts in Eververse for The Dawning? How about taking 4 of those ships, and 4 of those ghosts and putting them into the actual game as rewards for people who play the actual game? How about using those items as an incentive to make people play and achieve things in the game? Give people something they want to work towards. I'm not even against Eververse, I currently have 3800 silver sitting on my account. I haven't spent it because random crap in the Eververse store doesn't compel me to spend it. For me to spend that silver the thing has to be something I like for its own sake, because when I wear Eververse items I don't feel like I have anything over other players. For instance my Wormhusk Crown, I got a really good roll on it, use it all the time, it's my main first choice exotic that I go to. Truth be told I feel kinda naked without it. I bought the Gate Lord's Eye ornament for it because I really liked it, regardless of it being an Eververse item. But you know what? I would have loved this ornament so much more if it was a reward for completing every Nightmare Hunt on 980 or something. Because then it says something about how you spent your time in the game, rather than how you spent your money in the game.
