Repost: None of the effort I put into Destiny makes me feel unique or special when standing next to another player. We all got our gear through RNG. We all look the same. Destiny's grinding requires a ton of time investment and a lot of players are angry because their investment feels wasted. On top of that, this system is built to completely devalue our investment with each new expansion. Legendary Armor:: Light level has forced us to the point where we all look the same. There is only one complete set of end game gear at a time for each class (two if you count Iron Banner). There is no way of upgrading old existing armor to match end game gear. Even[b] faction gear [/b]is set below the maximum light level despite the ridiculous amount of grinding required to earn that gear. Why can't we upgrade old gear to light 36 in the economy. Shouldn't the raid specific perks and appearance still be enough to warrant earning them as new content comes around? Exotic Armor: I don't think there needs to be any change with exotic armor. I can point out that some are lackluster and very situational. However, that adds to the idea of collection. My only proposed alternative to this would be to have exotic gear and their perks separated by an enchantment process. The gear would still be earned and be exotic, but it would behave like legendary gear until you enchanted it. Enchantment and armor would be independent of each other adding to the cosmetic choice. Legendary Weapons:: You may never play with the gun that was built for your perfect playstyle. RNG only hands out so many legendary engrams. It's not a choice to play the game how we want, but hope that RNG rolls us the right perks. The truth is that it shouldn't be this way. Successful FPS games like Call of Duty and Battlefield both put grinding in place, but they allow the player to choose the perk combinations they want. At least[b] vendor gear [/b]should allow the ability to forge a gun the way we want given their price tag. I think all our random weapons from engrams, nightfalls, and crucible should also be able to be reforged for a price. I also believe that we should be allowed to increase the attack stat of legendary weapons in the economy even if that means unlocking perks again like how exotic upgrades work now. It's frustrating that you may have a favorite gun, but you can't use it in the HoW raid because it does 300 attack. The xp grinding to get the final product via our chosen perk path would still require time investment. We would still make mistakes and want to try new guns. We might opt out of reforging a gun and just see if we like the perks we got from RNG because it's free. Most players would still want to try new DLC guns just to get a feel for a weapon and see if they could find the perfect combination of perks that makes that gun shine best. Not everyone likes the same things and many players want to acquire a collection. Right now our collection is all based on our luck with RNG. Exotic weapons: There simply are not enough of them. You only gave us three/four in The Dark Below. Then there's the question if they are effective and even worth the exotic slot. I have the Crux of Crota. Apparently in order to get Husk of the Pit I am suppose to grind the first story mission? Then grind Eris Morn to reputation level 4. When you consider the time investment you must expect this thing to be a beast. Then I read reviews how the gun sucks and is outperformed by 300 attack VOG legendary weapons. A waste of an exotic slot many say. Why should one of the hardest guns to earn in the game be so mediocre? - some call it terrible - If anything is borderline op or the top of the line shouldn't it be the gear that requires the most effort to earn? What kind of trophy is this to people who bought The Dark Below DLC and put in all that effort? Conclusion: I can't see Destiny growing to its potential when you are asking us to put our hands into RNG for the next 10 years. There is limited choice in the end game, and I don't see how anyone benefits from this design decision.
