My theory is, Bungie simplified everything in this game, in order to reduce the learning curve for new players. Now that they have those players, they will gradually ramp things up, and the final product will be more like D1. I think the biggest problem is they over simplified it, which made it somewhat boring, and actually pushed some people away. I'm still playing, and I will stay with it until I've played the expansions I paid for, but if they don't spool up the addictive mechanisms soon, I won't play past spring. I actually enjoy 4v4, but I miss having a choice.
