Weapon Retirement? Say goodbye to casual players.
Dear Bungie,
Weapon retirement will drive casual players away. You guys already making us feel as though we need to treat Destiny 2 as a full-time job. I love Destiny 2 but I can barely afford any spare time to play it. When I do, I aim to progress bit by bit to get a weapon I desire. I could spend an entire season just to get 21% Delirium. Imagine grinding for a long time, only to get a weapon that's gonna be retired soon. Do you enjoy doing this? You think any of us is gonna enjoy doing this? Let's admit it, in the end, you're just gonna make the new weapons have similar perks as the sunset ones, have us grind for them, and call it CONTENT. I really don't wish to see anything as pathetic as that, and I'm sure many casual players don't too. We put in time and effort among our busy schedules to actually work towards obtaining these weapons, and hell it's just gonna be useless in another half a year or so?
Destiny 2 is a VIDEO GAME, not a JOB. Video games should be fun and entertaining, which is what Destiny 2 is most definitely not gonna feel like if weapon retirement becomes a thing. We're sick of grinding again and again and again. Give us ACTUAL content. Heck, expand upon the lore. Give us new missions that tell meaningful stories in the world of Destiny. It's why we still even play. There's just so many questions unanswered that we could delve into right now. You really think grinding for new weapons are our biggest concern? When we're all already so satisfied with our current loadouts after working so hard to get them? Forcefully rendering our favorite weapons useless and making us grind for another similar weapon with higher power is about the most pathetic way to make people play the game. The point is to ENJOY the game. Don't you see? It's just too debilitating for casual players. We just don't have the time for that.
Please, don't sunset weapons, at the very least pinnacle weapons, for the sake of casual players.
Sincerely,
Casual player who really loves D2
