Bungie, I will pay $50 for the "Play Strikes Solo" DLC, honest! (on PC)

The New Light reboot killed my fun in the game. Before this version I could do story missions, heroics and strikes at a lower power level than the recommended, and this offered a good amount of challenging and fun to play content, to play solo. I would like to play strikes on my own, at my own pace, learn the mechanics. Instead of everything getting turned into a speedrun. New Light not only boosted everyone to 750, making everything even more easy, but it completely removed the possibility to do activities under power. Heroics and strikes. I've tried countless of strategies. I was able to go under 750 power even in the new version... Only to find out Bungie didn't implement the scaling for power under 750. See: https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/dfb541/the_pve_power_level_scaling_is_a_lie/ In the old version heroics and strikes had various tiers, so you could do then when you were a few levels below, and this provided good challenge and a sense of progress. Now all strikes and heroics are stuck at 750. "Heroic" story missions are now set easier than how the standard campaign was set two weeks ago, non-heroic. Yes, there are nightfalls. But what's that, three missions a week? And the jump in difficulty is likely too steep to solo. Strikes were a nice middle ground. I tried EVERYTHING to play strikes solo. I tried to set my power level to 98, I tried to change the date, I tried to block internet ports, I tried to select strikes out of their playlist. Nothing worked. A moment ago I watched the old AngryJoe review of the game, back at release. He complains about the standard campaign being set too easy. That was two years ago. What have they done now? They pushed everyone to 750 so everything is EVEN EASIER than before. Bungie, is this what "listening to player feedback" means? I know most players don't care because they'd only play the most recent piece of content over and over. And "this is a multiplayer game, not for solo". But all of this was possible in the previous version of the game, only to be removed by New Light for no good reason. The Forsaken campaign, played slightly under power, was VERY FUN. Now it's childishly easy. There are lots of players who still recommend new players to buy Forsaken because the campaign is good. But they don't know that everything that made it fun was taken out. Everything is too easy, there's no climb in power, so you kill the barons right away. No transitions from mission to mission. There is no progress, no challenge, no fun. Those who still decide to buy Forsaken will be seriously disappointed.
