I agree with you 100%, but they aren't going to address this stuff.
Honestly though, what can they do to fix it? With the double primary system, slow ability recharge, and the emphasis on balance and simplification, this game cannot provide the same experience as Destiny 1. This game, at its core, is meeting the design goals that Bungie/Activision were aiming for. They just aren't fun.
Sure, there were cutscenes and a linear story. It was just cliched and boring. Honestly, who didn't know exactly how the story arc would go before playing it? What happened in the story that put you on the edge of your seat? I'm going to guess absolutely nothing.
Not to mention the greed of locking sparrows and ships behind bright engrams. Then there's the single use shader debacle. Reskins everywhere. I don't understand how they thought the D1 players would not only be okay with these changes, but that they would be excited about them. It truly blows my mind.
I would honestly be shocked, given the bones of this game, if the future of Destiny weren't far more PVP focused. It doesn't seem like the core of the game lends itself to fun/interesting PVE content. There is never a feeling of being powerful and there is no sense of accomplishment. It's just blah.
D1 honestly feels like a successor to D2. Here's hoping that they announce something meaningful in 15 minutes, but this "Season 2" announcement will probably be superficial and self congratulatory. It will be a celebration of D2 as a wild success, which we all know is not the case. They need to sell those PC copies.

Well nothing meaningful, looks like the new endgame is grinding or paying for bright ENDgames, I mean Engrams!

Yep, that was a waste of an hour. Granted I've probably logged in two or three times in the last three weeks, I don't see myself investing any additional time into this game. Everything is cosmetic and they're trying to push as much content through Eververse as they can get away with. They also didn't mention anything about PVE, or at least I don't remember it if they did. Seasons seems to focus on low-effort content and PVP. That's not why I bought into Destiny 1. I also didn't particularly enjoy the live team events from D1. I seem to remember Festival of the Lost and The Dawning as an excuse to sell packages through Eververse. Not what I would call exciting. Oh, but snowballs and ice hockey! Give me a break. I'm glad they have a market of people that are willing to invest in this game, but that isn't me anymore.
