Content drought?! Or unrealistic player expectations?

I think the problem with Destiny 2 coincides with player expectation. I think most people coming from D1 were expecting an amount of content equal to 3 YEARS of D1 to be in D2. Which is an unrealistic expectation for a game that is basically a restart to the Destiny franchise. Everyone expected WAY TOO MUCH and when they didn't get it they played for awhile and left. I have no problem with the "content drought" we are supposedly in. Too me THIS IS EXPECTED. This is basically vanilla Destiny. Only better. A few changes to how things work would be okay with me. But the content "amount" seems about right for a NEW Vanilla launch. The only thing that wasn't supposed to be "vanilla" about this game is how the story was supposed to be canonically linked to D1. Other than that... this is a vanilla restart to Destiny. Just better. That is what I think. Thank you. This was my reply to the youtube video in the link above.

  • Yes a big part of the problem is expectation management, a service fails when some one expects to get something and they do not. The issue is not content draught to me I have plenty of things to do, I have only played 2 hours this week millstones on one character, I just can not be bothered to play anymore. I did not expect destiny to take so much away from the game that was d1, I loved d1 the highlight for each week was raiding I did vog over 100 times, I did for what I would get from it, it's a reward system which d2 does not have, I can not be bothered to go through that with no reward no levelling up, was not expecting this it's a complete change and service has failed and I fell let down and annoyed like the rest of the community. I don't think d2 is a bad game if it was the first time I had played destiny I would have been happy. But I'm not happy with d2 compared to d1, d1 set the expectations high for me. I do not like the exotics, most of them just are used to get back some of the super energy I lost. There nothing fun no ice breaker thorn gala, suros vex etc. There so much missing and everyone said it time and time again so I'm not going to repeat. I don't think they should have made the exotics so easy to get with grinding public encounters, I finished most of the collection too early, and I did not grind that much, there were a few times I did. I would have liked to have seen the public encounters be more progressive, there could have been several levelling up mechanics to each encounter which brought out an ultra boss eventually with the possibility of a great reward. Any way I think we are angry as we were just not expecting to get what we got, it is a backward step for the game.
