They’ll never tell you precisely because they know if they were straight up honest with you, you’d walk away. Its why they told us there would be a ton of loot even though PVP is clearly their top priority with this game. Go back and re-read the changes that are coming. Ranked pvp is their top priority. Private matches coming. Masterwork weapons track kills- a stat that is really only useful for pvp. The rerollable stats are going to come from a limited pool to prevent imbalance in pvp. The grind will be for ornaments and cosmetics because in a pvp-oriented game, they can’t give us insanely powerful guns because they’ll imbalance pvp. All of the core systems you named were implemented to further bungies vision of pvp- something they’ve been trying to do since Y1. Those simply are NOT going to change until bungie loses a Enough players thst it convinces them that their e-sports desires needs to be abandoned. And they aren’t going to straight up tell you this because they know a lot of players are saying the same things to themselves. The best thing to do is simply not play or buy content UNLESS it changes.
