Yes, it's been said plenty of times that the game is currently a bounty simulator.... but unlike the prior 2 seasons, there wasn't an activity that NEEDED the grind. Grandmaster Nightfall is FINALLY a mode that encourages a well powered artifact. The problem? Who the f#ck wants to endlessly grind the bounties to get there! And I'm probably further along than most in the community. All 3 characters have 1010 gear and I'm at +18 on the artifact. And since you need to get to rank 200 on the season pass to be +20, that would JUST get me to 1030 total power. Imagine the dedication (ie boredom) that it will take to reach +30 or +40 to be within decent range of the power delta? Can I grind out bounties EVERY single day and get there? Possibly. Do I want to? Absolutely not. Now people may say "Why bother, GM is probably going to suck anyway...... aside from the seal in the game". Considering how light the season is (particularly for non-trials players and those already leaving trials), what else does this season have to offer? GMNF was one of the few activities being rolled out, but the power gap to get within striking distance is just absurd. Without knowing anything about GMNF, it's safe to say we know what the mode will be like: 20+ champions, insanely accurate enemies, over leveled enemies that 1 shot you...................... all with limited revives. It's a challenge even without the power delta. It's going to be a challenge breaking Overload champs with swords or hand cannons. Wasting Divinity ammo on just 1 Ogre. All because 1060 is well out range for the majority of the community. The grind wouldn't be so bad if activities offered us an accelerated rate to get there. But bounties are too efficient................................... so for those who don't eat & breathe Destiny, the grind doesn't seem worth it.
