I know this is a broken record at this point, but every time I boot up Destiny I log out 5 minutes later and the one thing I miss the most is build diversity.
By simplifying the mod system, you all kneecapped the most fun and replayable aspect of the game...
We used to have so many different types of builds, not even including warmind cells.
By removing these options, you seriously damaged what made D2 great. The feeling of being a super powerful guardian with many tricks up their sleeve. Now everything revolves around the artifact and it gets VERY boring VERY quickly when the only thing worth running is solar subclass or solar weapons because you made it this way. Bring back the old mods or make new ones. Stop being scared of having powerful guardians. The game is NOT that serious, especially when there is no new raid or content that can be trivialized by being powerful. It's not like people are running old raids for loot anyways, so what difference does it make if my guardian can kill a yellow bar .5 seconds faster with a strong build?

I felt some of the mod nerfs was part of the problem for that. The kickstart mods and orb generation mods especially were hindered so poorly. Bungie's trying to force this gun focused meta on players and yet the most fun the community has had over the years has mainly been because of those abilities. Meanwhile weapons haven't had any meaningful buffs to counter this so I have felt this game has just been in quite the decline and Bungie has just felt extremely out of touch.
