So let me start of with a disclaimer. This is my opinion . Though it may be shared by others. I'm not "speaking" for any other player besides myself. Why post? Because , as a paying customer. I have the right to voice my displeasure with the product I purchased. Now on to what i've seen over the past year and over 1000 hours of play time that has brought me to swearing off Destiny until it receives a MAJOR over haul. As Guardians we are the "Saviors" of humanity. For whatever reason ( still a damn mystery because of a garbage story line) Why do i never feel like i'm the baddest ( insert favorite expletive) on the block? I've spent more time dodging incoming splash and AoE damage than taking the fight to the "darkness" 700 years into the future, ancient alien technology , walking talking cyborgs, and jump ships. The best weapons we have are handguns , semi auto and burst rifles, and a rocket launcher with tracking munitions? Really? It's 2015, We can pluck people from moving cars with a drone, we have .50 caliber mini guns that fire 2000 rpm. No wonder humanity got their butts kicked. The weapons are AWFUL and so do NOT feel like something that's either Legendary, or Exotic. Did the human race forget how to mount a selector switch on a rifle, that takes it from semi, to burst to full auto? On to those enemies. Teleporting , tethered bullet sponges, that deal out nothing but insane amounts of AOE damage. I've solo'd ever night fall up to 3 weeks ago since February. It's the same MO. Dodge the fire hose, pull on the slot machine. The loot system for this game is crap. Seriously. It's a Vegas Casino . A very large slot machine, in the center of a room. Attached to it are two fire hoses turned on full blast. When you finally fight off all the water you get a chance at a pull of the lever. I've never been a fan of the PvP in Destiny. For two reasons. One, i'm not good at it. and it reminds me of CoD with supers instead of kill streaks. Also, it's 2015, why a game with this kind of funding is using P2P connections, for so much of the content is beyond me. Gear grind. I am a fan of "grindy" games. Hell i'm neck deep in two now. But i want to feel like when i stop playing for the night i've made some sort of progress. Got something for my time. Even with the last expansion i felt like i was just doing stuff out of habit, not progression. The big middle finger to the year one players. I complete tasks , and get a banner, and a shader or whatever it is. Then after about 30 minutes I turn in all the equipment i have to have to grind all new stuff because your development staff can't figure out how to properly balance weapons in PvP . Nope, i'm not doing it. I know this is common among MMO's . Hell WoW did it. I quit playing that too. It's not my job to part with that item. It's your job to make me WANT to part with that item , not because of a level or damage. But because of features or a skin. So you have mathematical wiz who made an algorithm that sets everyone's level based on the ALL the gear in their inventory? Why don't you just come out and be honest. You're using this to stretch out what mineral content you have. To convolute the gear grind even more. You're adding perks to items that didn't have them before. For the past year i've been a peace with the idea that i had just shelled out money for a "beta" version of Destiny. But after seeing what you're doing now. You've turned beta 1.0, into beta 2.0. Destiny isn't Evolving . It's on the fly damage control. The fans of this game are loyal and very passionate. Be it Bungie or Activision. I feel like i'm standing in a used car lot. Talking to a salesman who's trying to convince me why i should buy a hunk junk. I do what i always do. I take my dollars elsewhere. Just quit screwing over your remaining paying customers. Because these folks want this game to be something special. At best right now. It's average.
