You might have gone too far with the difficulty bump, Bungie.
The game needed a difficulty bump. I could charge through older content without breaking a sweat. But with Lightfall and with leveling up having been made irrelevant because every new activity set at least five and often more above your level, including 25 in some cases, you've gone too far. I do most everything solo. I can beat content at five over my level but 25? There are a handful of people who can do that routinely. I'm not one of them. Nor to I aspire to be one.
There has to be a reasonable middle ground. After a long day, I'm rarely in the mood to butt my head against content that's always going to be 20 to 25 light above me no matter how much I level my characters up.

7 RepliesI thoroughly agree with this comment. I've been playing Destiny since Destiny 1 came out. Since Destiny 2 arrived, with each DLC the activities got longer and more demanding of time. I've not objected to this because there was always sufficient content that I could enjoy. I am an older player, I have grandchildren, am involved in a third career I thoroughly enjoy and a small farm that places demands on my time. I enjoy Destiny 2, or did, as a welcome escape where I can relax with it for an hour, or occasionally 2, most days. I am also a solo player because most players are not interested in joining a casual player who exits after my length of time. With this new DLC, there is little that I can enjoy, even regulator strikes take nearly an hour to complete. I accept that I will not ever have lay raids, nor obtain the cool raid gear, and I will not play the dungeons, or even some of the activities needed to get exotic weapons. Again, I've accepted this because I have a full life and Destiny 2 is an entertainment. But now, Bungie has made the game so unrewarding, and not fun any longer, for me and people like me. This game is for people who, for whatever reason, have 6-9 hour every day to play the game. I do not. We am angry because I paid for this DLC and now find the creators have turned their collective backs on me. I would dearly like Bungie to do an evaluation of players to see how many play like I do. I may be wrong and indeed, most spend 8 hours every day playing. But I suspect, in fact, there are a lot more that are like me. If that is true, I ask Bungie to make some changes so there is enough content for casual players like me to enjoy, find challenges, earn rewards and stay the course. Destiny 2 has been a terrific game and I would like to continue enjoying it. But if Bungie thinks I will choose the he game over my grandkids, my wife, my home and my professional interests....think again. If something does not change I think a lot of players will leave the game and no one wins under those circumstances.
