I know "who cares, didn't ask". Been playing for years, it's always been the same.
So i'll just sum it up
-Gear means nothing, it's just stats. big numbers = equip.
-most Exotics don't feel worth even looking at, the rest are just good based on whatever seasonal mods are making overpowered
-Every encounter is the same, do the dance while the boss is immune, add's spawn, then dps , repeat till boss dead. if you made a mistake you loose, no adaptive strategy, no escalating tension. nope, you didn't stand on the correct plate for the correct amount of time , wipe.
-Classes are starting to feel the same. All the unique things that made classes special are now just parts of fragments available to every class.
As a warlock main the last -blam!- straw for me was seeing a -blam!- titan in full phoenix themed cosmetics. the -blam!- symbol of warlocks is on top of a -blam!- titan helm.
Cosmetics was the only thing keeping me playing every now and then , i'd see something nice in a season pass or during an event and i'll grind it out. Its been 2 seasons since theres been anything worth grinding for.

Nobody does full raids anymore to have fun. They CP farm for one weapon. Warlocks new solar identity is add clear, and non warlock mains keep gunking up the conversation like it's not that, but it is. The seasonal challenges feel so much worse than they ever have. 100 rounds of containment, open 100 chests, kill 100 people in crucible. The "get two resets to unlock ornaments" is awful to do. Woot, I get to lose 5 consecutive Gambit games getting add kills with *checks notes* trace rifles? Uuugggghhhhhh. When I LFG for actually hard activities, CP farmers treat me like a streamer raffle and want a free carry through it despite not knowing ANY of the mechanics except in the one encounter they farm. Like, it's a master raid, you should be a master at it before attempting one. I've made it a mission to get to 1000 full raid clears (I'm in the 920s right now) and then likely retire myself. Master raids aren't fun (everyone I've talked to wants the old system back where we have permanent challenges, weekly challenges, and a flawless run). I've done 2 seals that require master raids and I've been as high as top 360 in speed ranking, I have nothing left to prove in terms of being a good player. The only reason I've stuck around this long is because the storytelling got better on a season by season basis, but even this season is yet another "daddy issues" story arc. First Ana Bray with Zavala (Warmind dlc), then Elsie with Clovis Bray (beyond Light), and now Caitl with Calus. Like ffs, would that writer please go to therapy for their own sake and ours? I'm so sick and tired of "daddy man bad" storylines. I've been playing other games and the communities around those games are so much nicer than this one. I'm a noob in FF14, and like 99% of players are chill while I figure the game out. In D2, a similarly experienced player would be told to get gud and they should appreciate being hard carried but never taught anything or that they deserve to be mowed down in PvP. Like, tbh, I hate it here. The people suck, the stories are just projections of the writer's personal problems, and every rework has madey class less fun to play, to a point where I'm constantly asked why I play warlock when Hunter/titan are so much better. 1000 raids, and then I'm outta here.
