Lemme preface, I Loved Destiny 2 when it came out, the Raid was amazing, and to me there was enough content to last until the first expansion. I bought the full season pass (around $100 I think) and spent quite a bit on Eververse too. The following is to describe how a lot of us former Guardians feel, and to give insight on why we aren't coming back to Destiny. I know the game is better now, but that just isn't enough for us. People, like me, are not coming back to Destiny 2 for a few reasons: [b]1 - Bungie is very greedy and we don't like or want to support that anymore.[/b] • $100 game with micro-transactions littering the game. • Shaders were now consumable (and almost all the good ones only came from Eververse) • Bright Engrams were very slow to get and completely random. So a huge chunk of the content was effectively locked behind a pay wall and the only way to get what you wanted was to keep paying until RNG gave you the item. • No special shaders/emotes/speeders/ghosts available through in-game content, it was ALL Eververse. • The list goes on but I'll stop there [b]2 - The early Expansions weren't just disappointing, they we offensive:[/b] • Curse of Osiris had almost no content, and over 50% of it's content was Eververse micro-transactions. It was not an "Expansion," it was a balance-patch that added one small area. • Apparently Curse of Osiris was finished before the release of the game (Could be false reporting, I don't know for sure, but majority of it was finished by then at the least) and it was sold as a a full blown "Expansion" • Warmind was not much better, still disappointing, still more Eververse content, still more greed and lack of content. Anotehr expansion that felt like a minor patch. Yet we a lot of money for them. • The expansions were mediocre at best, and with how little content they gave us they should have been included in the Original Purchase, not the Expansion Pass. [b]3 - You didn't listen to us. You said you were listening, but you weren't. And when you did finally listen we had already stopped caring.[/b] • After the first half dozen or so royal screw-ups you finally released a road map of content you wanted to implement. That was really good, except it took you months and months to give us a few paragraphs about what you were gonna change. Why did it take so long for you to respond? • You didn't listen then so why would you listen now?, and even if that has changed, we don't believe it. With how many times you screwed up despite the massive backlash, we just don't trust you anymore. [b]4 - Forsaken is once again behind a pay wall, despite it being the actual first Expansion of Destiny 2:[/b] • I was extremely excited when one of my friends told me that Forsaken was amazing and that they fixed so many of the issues, then I went to log in and saw it was not included in the season pass and was $40... really, I bought the Expansion pass and still don't get access to the first Real Expansion? Screw that, I'm out. • The original game was free for 2 weeks. This was to get more players to pick up Forsaken, but what about the millions of us who already own it and still feel betrayed? How does that get us wanting to pick up Forsaken? Why no discount or benefit of some kind to show you actually care about he players who supported you during the bad times. You preyed upon us as consumers during the initial release, and you are still doing it, and we won't have anything to do with it. TL;DR - Bungie you Betrayed our trust, and we don't forgive you for that. Especially with Activision announcing that they aren't happy with sales and will now put MORE micro-transactions in the game. This is why we aren't coming back. You burned a bridge with us still on it, and it will take a lot more than "Look the game is finally good" to get us to come back.
