I think that the casual part of destiny needs to have a place. And it does more than D1, with patrols, strikes, and even nightfalls are much easier. (Also id like to say it doesn’t take that much to get much in D2. 8-10 hours a day is way too long for most. It’s easy to get to max light playing maybe 1 hour each day during the weekdays and a little more on the weekends). Even public events and forges are match made and quick. But then there’s raids. Which have some cool stuff and personally my favorite part of Destiny. These are endgame activities meant for a group of experienced players willing to invest time and energy. Even guided games and lfg have helped. Setting aside a few hours on the weekday in the morning would easily work for learning a raid. And from there raids take maybe 1 hour and 30 minutes max with an experienced team. Now I understand it sounds like a lot, but you don’t have to do these things. There are tons of things to do instead of raids to get to max. Plus, the random rolls help the hardcore players keep occupied. Now a regular player might think, “Oh cool a shotgun”, but a hardcore player goes, “Oh good another curated threat level to put on my third character”. Honestly I think 90% of the activists in the game, a casual can accomplish between seasons. Raids would be the only exception and maybe lunas howl/ not forgotten. Don’t pretend like it’s impossible. I personally would like more quests for exotics or cool stuff that’s harder and takes time. I honestly think it’s a good balance right now. And don’t bring up the bull crap arguement of, “Well I paid for it so I should be able to have it”. No. That’s bull crap. That’s not how video games work, their not gonna give everything away for free. A good example, D2 year 1. It was terrible. Everything was absolutely easy and required no thought. Exotics dropped like candy. Raid was easy and even if you completed prestige, all you got was some stupid chroma things. Warmind changed things a lot. For the good and now it’s at more of a balance. Hardcore people can still get their god rolled versions of everything and grind raids. Casuals can go through once or twice, and be happy with a hip fire snapshot blast furnace. Hardcore people can keep grinding for their 1000 wishes, and casuals can go, “Man this armor set looks pretty cool”. You can’t get everything. There are types of difficulty. Did people complain when they couldn’t get their name on the high score board? Did they complain, “HEY I PAID THAT QUARTER I DESERVE TO BE ON THAT LEADERBOARD AND BE TELEPORTED TO THE FINAL BOSS FIGHT!” No. Stop. I’m sorry, but it’s a looter shooter that’s how it works and that excuse just doesn’t work.
