Tedious =/= hard. Most of the "challenge" in this game comes from bullshit encounter design with bullet-spongey bug guys aggressively chasing you out of whatever little cover you're able to find in the too-small battle area into the 20 or so slightly-less bullet-spongey mooks with near-perfect aim that melt you in .3 seconds after stepping out of cover.

I am truly sorry for saying this, but maybe it's [b][i]you [/i][/b]that should find a harder game to play. Congrats if you are in the top skill level, but this is the very reason why Bungie have turned most of the content into a frustrating never ending slog fest instead of creating challenging content that has an element of fun. If players complain that it's too easy, why do they continue to play it?

trust me, i do. ive gone from 12hours a day to barely anything. but that is becus of many reasons. game is a bug party,bungies bs,boring content,game dosent feel rewarding. game feels abandoned

Yep that's why clear numbers for anything endgame in d2 has less clear percentages than something like eldenring that hasn't even been out aslong as d2 ,truthfully the players that find endgame easy need to move on an let the game grow since it's the top % and bungie holding this game back always has been hence the low numbers and need for sherpas and tutorials in an ancient game It's almost like the top% forgot what the game was like before things like trials and gms were introduced years ago here is a hint it was fun and streamers could do endgame solo wearing all blues which isn't the case anymore they have to crutch on the meta nowadays to solo endgame. I even asked salta why he doesn't do solo runs anymore using all blues/white weapons ,and the reply was its not worth the time effort or reward (this is one of bungies very top players)
