I truly believe this will be it for the majority of players. Most people play D2 for the experience. The gear system that is being explained will only create even more elitism than currently exists in D2. Streamers have won completely. If the current ultimatum difficulty has shown, adepts and higher tiered weapons and armor will give the elite a constant advantage. When that happens I typically stop playing the game slowly. There's no point trying to overcome that wall.

Edited by ben: 6/12/2025 8:54:00 AMThis game is not hard enough that you need to absolutely min max every single thing on your weapons and get excluded for not doing so. The hardest thing in destiny 2 today is ultimatum dungeons, I have a lot of ultimatum clears and I would have just as many if I had a stock unenhanceable weapons. I just earlier did an ultimatum kell echo with Praedyth's and No hesitation, lets break down all the differences between those guns: Praedyths - - Bait and switch lasts one extra second. I dont use it for boss damage so completely moot. Honestly complete waste of a perk slot I rarely proc it with QB as a heavy. - Kinetic tremors requires one less shot to proc. Again dont use it for boss damage, I use it for ogres, with bolt charge they die before it would matter. - Adept backup mag gives one extra bullet. Again... not using it for damage I never even go through a full mag without reloading. No hesitation - - Enhanced circle of life lasts one extra second up from TEN. Big deal... primary weapon so not doing much damage with it anyway - Enhanced physic lasts 25% longer... again one extra second. Physic is mostly good because it starts your recovery, once it has started for a couple seconds you dont need it to continue. - Not an adept weapon so I get normal old backup mag. Be serious, NONE of these things are going to change the game for you. Now I will say that destiny has reached insane peaks in terms of the depth of buildcrafting and that is something I can see being argued as elitist, because right now theres no reason to use anything other than bolt charge/consecration titan or heallock, all with very very specific builds in literally anything. But that is a different conversation about the information gap in buildcrafting, not about the loot. The loot is fine.
