It feels like a chore because: 1. You know that cores don’t give you power. So grinding for them is tedious. They only exist to deny you access to loot you’ve already earned. 2. What power you are grinding for isn’t worth the effort. In short, THE LOOT SUCKS. Because this game is still being crippled by the choice to design it around pvp balance from the ground up. So the game can’t intrinsically generate any interesting loot. Bungie keep having to create it by hand...from scratch...and then hide it behind excessively long grinds (pinnacles) and excessively low drop rates in order to try to stretch out engagement. 3. Almost all player freedom has been taken away. Again to try to stretch the game’s kiddie pool-shallow lootpool, Bungie has dumbed the game down to the lowest common denominator and force feeds us each part of it every week: [i]Play our game exactly as we say every week or you won’t progress...and you’ll be locked out of the parts you want to play.[/i] Iow. The game doesn’t reward you for investing your time and effort. It withholds and punishes you for non-compliance’s with the devs’ wishes. TLDR: The things to do are more...and better. But as an RPG, Destiny 2 is a laughably broken game. Whose design elements show either little understanding of, or little respect for what makes a good loot game work.... Or both
