I get that you want us to get rewarded for doing replayable things, which is nice, but just tell me to go do some lost sectors via bounty. You putting exotics in there at a higher difficulty doesn’t make me want to go in and do them, especially solo when you match increased difficulty with a timer. I went in and did one a couple times today and even if I had gotten an exotic out of it (I got something in one of the cosmodrome ones), it wasn’t fun and the experience doesn’t make me want to bother with them. All I do is follow a specific plan in order to beat it. Rinse and repeat and if I had any interest in learning about the nuances of mods (I don’t) I could do them significantly faster I’m sure. But even at a sub ten minute run, it turns the experience into a loot cave. Do a repeatable task in a very specific way for whatever the goal is. The only difference is that if someone else is on to play with, I have to decide if I want to have fun with friends that benefits us both or do we both play by ourselves doing something that is probably not going to be beneficial to us in the scheme of things. I think one thing that stands out about how you do loot is that you want to have us do things to get things that are nice, but quickly tarnish when they are tied to repeating tasks or to tedium. Want an aspirational gun in crucible? Even if you like crucible, going into the meat grinder of comp is not an example of where a lot of people want to be. Want that for vanguard? Sorry, I don’t feel like using a fusion rifle all the time so I can get another fusion rifle. By the time I’ve got it, I don’t even want to use that gun type again. I want to let you in on a little secret. Most people just want to play the game. That there are difficult choices in some activities is great and rewarding people for playing them is great, but not everyone is Esoterickk and I’m sure that even he likes to play with friends. And no, I’m not telling you to do anything. Keep the exotics where they are or don’t, whatever. I’m just telling you that your current trajectory with these changes is to keep annoying people into inactivity.
