I remember starting my adventure in Destiny 1, outside the walls of the city being told to run for safety by this odd little floating orb that reassured me we were allies. After 3 years of grinding my weekly activities every Tuesday at 5-6am EST things changed to mid afternoon. Though this was a bit of a change it made sense and so I dealt and continued on my weekly ritual, 12 raids, 3 Nightfalls, Crucible, so on. It was work but it was an accomplishment that wasn’t so far fetched or made me have to wait days in order to get a team (not ran by elitists) that made it enjoyable. Destiny 2 was released, the casuals finally ran in, didn’t have to worry about bounties and blew through every single activity in mere hrs. The people that worked had more time to spend with their families during the week but left Destiny feeling empty. The Elitest started pointing at the casuals saying that the games staleness came from them. Soon Bungie came out with a Vidoc telling their community that they no longer cared about the casuals and the game would be all about the Elite. Once this happened it bloomed the seed that is “toxicity”. When there’s healthy competition there’s alway going to be those that find joy in the misery of others. When the whole community can enjoy the same things and there’s no requirements of ridiculous standards to complete certain tasks, it’s makes for a more hearty community. Now a days you can’t even join a nightfall without some stuck up “high and mighty” snotty player that thinks their self better than the rest because they are 999+ Power and no jobs or responsibilities. This game had been fun for years, yet once you’ve gotten full control and dictating what’s the Health, Balance, and Size of your game, this is when Destiny no longer felt like Destiny. This felt like another Fortnite, Another Overwatch, where the PvE activities no longer mattered and you’re herding people to only play PvP. The state of Destiny needs to be in balance ITSELF. There’s a drastic need of changing where the people that spend 80hrs and the people that spend 30-40hrs aren’t in a different bracket. This would hopefully calm down the elitest, make it more enjoyable for the people that would like to come to Destiny for the amazing experience I [u]HAD[/u] but no longer can find in myself due to the “work crunch” I have to place myself in, in order to accomplish anything. If you would not like to put your employees on a work crunch, slave away for hours with no time spent with their loved ones over fixing, maintenance or even just programming this game, why would you ever think PLAYING this game should be that way? Why would you make it so that websites would exploit your decisions and open up ways for people to take others accounts and run the simplest of activities for real life cash? These sites appeared because of the way you’ve made this game OVERLY positioned at the hardcore level. People are charging others $250-$500 USD for weapons that you couldn’t obtain just from playing normally. I just wish this game franchise took the Golden Rule into effect. If you wouldn’t ask of this kind of requirements from your employees, why would you ever demand it of your community.
