I don’t know where we lost our way. It probably has its roots in the early days of social media where people started to yearn for clout and attention. This crowd of “git gud” and “you have to ‘earn’ it” gate-keeping basement dwellers who need strangers on the internet to validate their self-worth and individual accomplishments are ruining this game (and everything else, for that matter). Video games should be about fun and stress relief. Not a second job or a means to show off to strangers. Please Bungie, stop listening to streamers and no-lifers and/or corporate a-holes who only care about further fattening their already fat pockets. Listen to the vast majority of us who play this game for fun and/or community. At the end of the day, we just want to shoot aliens in the face with cool guns, wield powerful space magic, and horde the cool loot we have collected over the years in our various adventures across the Solar System. We don’t want to be vault managers, number chasers, or sweat lords. We want to have fun in the video game that we’ve come to love for well over a decade.
