This is how they do things.
They introduce them in awful ways to waste everyone's time for a season or 2, and then they reduce the costs so they can consider that "content" for a season and people praise them for it.
Remember how bad crafting was when it was introduced with WQ? After a season or 2 they started to get rid of materials and lower the costs. But for that first season we all suffered and wasted a ton of time. This is no different.
They ALWAYS make things a long, horrible grind when they implement them. We will complain and the 2nd season of Lightfall they will nerf the costs. It's pathetic.

So let me get this straight. Y’all complain about having old drops being implemented and given as loot. “rEcYcLeD cOnTeNt”. But now that it’s a OPTIONAL avenue of acquiring OLD RECYCLED GEAR everyone is throwing a hissy fit. In what way is this not the biggest hypocrisy? Y’all complain about FOMO, y’all complain about recycled gear. Yet this is a problem now.

Edited by Sohsuh: 1/27/2023 3:43:58 PMFirst off I have never complained about fomo. Second, why is recycled content in quotations when it's literally recycled? 3rd, nothing I said was false. Get it together before posting next time.
-
It’s recycled content. So why are people complaining about costs. Why is that the issue. Shouldn’t the issue be “why are you giving us optional recycled content” and not “why does old gear cost so much”? Like what? This is a Fomo change. The FOMO issue is partially being solved. Ada has old shaders, any other shader is being added as end of match drops, and now they are giving folks a option to acquire old gear.
-
Because of how little sense it makes for old gear to cost so much. They're going to recycle gear regardless, but when they do it, shouldn't it be easy to obtain since it's old gear? What are you arguing here exactly? You replied to me but haven't even said anything about my post since you've just gone off on a random tangent that has nothing to do with me.

Witch Queen crafting cost at launch was quite ridiculous. I’m with you. The changes made going forward were for the player. All the feedback and outcry has been more or less resolved. Hindsight is one of bungies biggest enemies. You think they would be able to tell community sentiment without anybody playing with it? Obviously not. Do I think they’ll lower the costs? Possibly. Do I think it’ll matter at all in the long run? Not at all.
-
If you don't think Bungie does it on purpose then I have bad news for you. They know exactly what they are doing.
-
Oh no.
-
Oh yes.

The entire point of it costing more is that it’s a FOMO counter. “You weren’t there for it, but here is a avenue to get it since you missed it” If you release it at a obnoxiously low cost, people complain about “their time being for nothing”. Grinding those NF weapons can be ridiculously painful. This is a direct path to getting something you want. You want players time to feel valued? Here it is.
-
Most of that stuff is trash. Old trash shouldn't cost a lot. It's simple.
-
Trash? All Nightfall weapons except Comedian Riiswalker Occluded Finality Peacebond All the trials weapons. All mentioned aren’t trash. So out of all the legacy focusing, I didn’t include 4 weapons. Smfh.
-
99% of that is outclassed by other gear.
-
Go look on light gg ffs.

Edited by Sohsuh: 1/27/2023 6:12:40 PMIf you use Riiswalker over a crafted Wastelander then I hope your characters get deleted. If you use either of those over Matador then I hope your PC ignites itself.

Slideshot opening is literally the exact same as slide shot iron reach? They both hit 5.5-6m. What even is that argument.
-
Wastelander animation puts it into god tier. Get with it. I bet you willingly take public transit.
-
How to sound like you lost a argument without saying you lost a argument.
-
Enjoy thinking Riiswalker is better than Matador. Your 0.6 KD tells me all I need to know.
-
You gonna just pull matador out the hat from no where? We were talking about lightweights. Riis vs Wastelander. 0.6? You’ve got the wrong account. Try again.
-
I literally said they are outclassed by "other weapons". I said nothing about same archetypes. It's like you're addicted to being wrong and looking foolish.
-
Then why tf did you bring wastelander? The real irony is that you’ve got a negative KD in trials AND comp, and a 1.1 in QP. Yet have the audacity to not only get my stats wrong, but make it sound like yours are any better. https://destinytracker.com/destiny-2/profile/xbl/4611686018431169571/overview

It's quite funny how serious you are. Too easy.

"Riiswalker is better than Matador." Interesting take but OK.
