You left for years and came back expecting everything to be the same. That's your problem there. The game changed, content came and went, and 99% of what was taken out nobody cared about anyway. Posts like this exist to just stir -blam!- up, and get people talking about how "bungo bad, they took away Mercury, muh fav mediocre destination".

It is disheartening and it doesn't give me any confidence that they won't do the same thing for future expansions [i](I've heard they're thinking of vaulting Forsaken next)[/i]. There's plenty of people who try to defend Bungie for the content vault and will call people entitled over it but when you think about it - you can't really justify it no matter what argument you use. New lights miss out on story and are thrown in not knowing who everyone is or what is going on, even if you aren't new to Destiny [i](played D1 but not D2)[/i] you still miss out and will only be left with characters briefly mentioning some events that are no longer in the game. Then there's people who have payed for it and [i]yes[/i] I know Destiny is a live service game but it's scummy behaviour, using the 'live service' argument doesn't make it less scummy. Some people also like to blame the new lights or people who weren't playing for awhile because '[i]you weren't there so it's [b]your[/b] fault [b]you[/b] missed out[/i].' thing is, if I could wind the clock back to when that content was still around [i](while keeping the knowledge that it [b]will[/b] be removed)[/i] I wouldn't buy it, I wouldn't even bother with D2 at all, I'd save my money and find a different game. [spoiler]If you disagree then feel free to down vote and move on or call me entitled, a clown or anything else you can come up with but I'm not interested in arguing.[/spoiler] Anyway, I'm just glad that they didn't mess with D1's content, D2 isn't getting another cent out of me or a single second of more play time until things change but I doubt anything will.

I can guarantee you they will sunset all currents content as well in a few years. I have weapons in my vault with locked power level... they are on my hard drive, just banned for using aside of patrols. Bungie is a scum.

Conclusion: Don't buy anything from Bungie. Try it when/if it's free, or get it with alternative methods (Gamepass, for example.) The community is so [b]c[/b]ucked that they are actually defending Bungie's decision to remove content people have paid 60, 120, 200$s for. They come at you with the license agreement, and while "legally" they are able to do this, show me one other -blam!- game that does this.

That fact that you got down-voted just shows why Destiny has the most toxic community in gaming.

I really want Bungie to be bankrupt. But You know, looks like it will never happen with such spineless community.

Don't ever spend a single dime anymore in destiny, knowing nothing you buy will stay forever. Reject guardian Return to Tenno

Bungie expects you to either dedicate your life to Destiny or never play. Sorry they don’t let people take breaks without missing stuff. But yeah trashing most of their year one stuff was pretty scummy

Imagine just now coming back to see even worse activities than the ones they’ve sunset

I just can't wait to buy them back in the super duper deluxe edition, with the exotic ghost and roadster

For me, It wouldn't be so bad if Bungie was replacing some of that content with quality content and at least trying to be consistent with the game, but they are not. A lot of it is just cheap throw-away content like these seasons, recycled D1 content, promoting eververse or reused areas like BW, etc... The lack of effort put into this game is more disheartening than them removing content. It's not the devs that do the work that is the problem. It's the greedy people that run this company that are the reason there are so many things that are so screwed up in this game.

Bungie basically has us renting content under the guise we're buying it. They removed planets we paid for and then they come out with a new seasonal activity only to take away the pinnacle for it when the next new season and activity comes out calling it "legacy gear" instead. This isn't okay and it should be illegal to remove paid content. The amount you used the content or the enjoyment of said content is irrelevant it was bought and paid for and they took your money and then took your content. I've been playing since the Alpha of Destiny 1 but if this is the future we're to expect of DLC from now on then they've lost me and my money. And I don't think I'm alone.

You didn't pay for anything [u]in[/u] the game. You paid for a license to play and use the content of an evolving game. Please stop with the entitlement. I get that you've come back to things that are 'missing' but those things can happen in a game that needs to evolve.

This is Destiny 3 without the moniker. This was Bungie's brilliant market ploy.
