I think Bungie ran into three basic problems that is fueling all this discontent.
1. Bungie is paying the price for five years of telling people they could keep their stuff for ever in a loot game. Sunsetting is making many PvP players and "collectors" angry. Destiny players when they're angry about one part of the game....vent their frustration on the entire game.
No sympathy for Bungie on this one. They fed this monster, now they have to deal with consequences of now having to starve it.
2. Bungie failed to do the OTHER things that they needed to do in support of Sunsetting and fixing the game's loot system. Namely increase their bandwidth so that they could create more loot, so that they could replace a larger percentage of what had to be sunset. But also they needed to overhaul the weapon system so that it could finally generate a wide enough variety of wepaons that did a wider range of things....to make that increased quantity of loot meaningful.
3. Bungies need to tightly control every aspect of play tripped them up. So much so that there is very little room for players to play the way the want to play. To interact creatively with the game...and to have fun. Its like we're playing and Bungie is standing over our shoulders and playing traffic cop the whole time. "Do this. Do That. Go here. No...I said do it THIS way, not THAT way."
This has always been a problem with Bungie----You're going to play our game, our way. But this season has been a particularly extreme example of this. THEY NEED to stop this. Or else this is what will kill this game. Not sunsetting. Games are an interactive form of entertainment. YOu can't be so controlling and so tightly script everything that there is no room for the player in the game. Instead they've been reduced to a bull on a cattle ranch being led around by a ring through its nose.

Actually it is defending sunsetting. The problems I’m talking about weren’t caused by sunsetting.

Pretty good way of summing it up. Not much else I could add that's ultimately extra nitpicks.
