  • The grind is as essential to an MMO / shared world shooter / persistent online game as it was to 1990s MTV. But we need a compelling reason to dance. The issue, as I see it, is that you're replacing the carrot at the end of the stick with the same exact carrot we just ate. Were our exotics to become obsolete due to the availability of a wide range of new and enticing exotics at the end of the stick, the resentment over the many hours put into obtaining and upgrading the former would give way to excitement over spending more hours trying to obtain and upgrade the latter. As it stands with this new system, however, there seem to be relatively scant new options and the grind will mostly be to get our existing exotics back to exactly where they are now, but with comparable damage numbers in the new content. We already know how these items handle when fully leveled. Games are all arbitrary in a sense, but this system is too transparently arbitrary and fails to provide the prerequisite incentive to continue the grind. Put more concisely, this is kinda lazy gameplay extension bullshit.
