Managing gear depletes the fun bucket

A key thing that saps joy from the game is the responsibility and decision-making required with all the legendary gear that I get. The vault space is now not enough to keep 1 of each with gametype-specific perks. That means making hard decisions about what to infuse or dismantle. I seriously look at managing my gear as like doing chores, like paying bills. Except it's ostensibly just to make room so I can play more, but then I'll get more gear I have to make decisions about. Making decisions saps mental energy. It's called "decision fatigue." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decision_fatigue A short term fix would be to double the vault space. That would provide enough breathing room to keep the "one of everything" going for probably 6 months to a year. By then, D2 should be out, right? I don't know what the long-term fix is. Bungie already has psychologists on staff to design the "economy" (the reward system aka the gambling & payouts). How about getting some psychologists to propose ways of dealing with decision fatigue. Other games don't have the level of variance available in their loot, combined with relatively small storage capacity. This is an uncommon problem that Bungie should take a serious look at. That's my feedback for Bungie.

  • If you're suffering from "decision fatigue" after playing a videogame, that's your problem. It's pixels. Delete that shit and get some more digital shit.

  • Ok. Say you got extra vault space and could keep one of everything. How on earth would you find the time to use it all? Realistically, would you equip each set of gear and play with it for any significant amount of time to make it worth storing [i]all[/i] that stuff? No argument, insult or spite intended. I'm genuinely curious.

    • Lost count of number of nights i logged on expecting a good enjoyable raid or whatnot.. only to find myself trying to sort through vault and either getting bored and quiting or leaving it all after giving up, joining a fireteam But having zero fun.. theres defo a lot to what say, not sure how many it affects, some people (like me) also try to rearrange vault into a order I like it in every single time i visit (everytime i play!) only to return next day or worse after getting stupid network error to see it all mixed up again, i guess different people resct to all sorts in different ways, that said i know though i might be in a minority, there is a hell of a lot of us about... it really is not good enough, well for a space/action rpg type thing we bought into.. maybe if i just played pvp like old CoD i'd of had different expectations.
