If a vendor reset is too difficult why not try to create at least 1 new weapon for the main token vendors excluding the ritual weapon (rant).

Tl;dr: I would like for iron banner, strikes, general crucible and gambit to receive at least 1 new weapon besides the ritual one every season. Maybe it's too much to ask, but i haven't touched strikes, gambit and soon comp (as I'm almost to unbroken) because they feel pointless. I've had my fun playing destiny but I feel more compelled playing those activities if there is more proper incentive. If they cant do it then they cant, but if they can please do so. Rant: For the record I am not insulting bungie nor am I trying to I just feel like these activities are pointless. Crucible, besides for my own personal fun is pointless. Vanguard strikes and even to an extent nightfalls are pointless. Gambit is still sort of relevant because the prime weapons are all really good weapons but if you have the ones you want the way you want them...it will just be taking up space. Iron banner...yeah I'm not doing it anymore this season and likely not in the future either with the way its going. My point is...is that the game currently is incredibly lacking for these activities. The new gear they create for the new activities is sufficient enough, but the other main activities are not offering me anything. I have played d2 since its beta and have consistently been playing it this whole time. I'm tired of getting better devils #4673 or main ingredient #1765. I'm absolutely tired of getting the same unchanging crap every match, every day and every season. To me, the ritual weapons are not helping this problem either. They are nice weapons and I hope they keep making them, but the general loot pool for those activities has been exactly the same since forsaken and it's been over a year since then with not even a single new general loot pool weapon (maybe since black armory). Every 4 months cant we at least get 1 new weapon for crucible, vanguard and gambit activities besides the ritual weapons? I know they have to already try and do so much in the 4 month span they have but I'm finding it more and more difficult to keep playing those activities as time goes on and those are the main activities I like doing and messing around in. But can I even ask for this? They planned for a single new weapon, a bow, to drop in iron banner and it was bumped back till next season. It was announced at the start of season of dawn and it's not coming during dawn. Its not dropping next iron banner, not near the end, the literal next entire season. So for whatever reason, with around two months left iron banner will remain a worthless piece of crap for people who have exhausted the arsenal its had since before shadowkeep. There are still year 1 weapons like orimund's anvil from iron banner that dont have year 2 variants...but iron banner hasn't gotten a single new weapon since I believe black armory. And to be clear I'm not only playing this game because of gear. I do play it for fun and for other reasons as well. But I want fun to be rewarding as well. There's no memories to make dragging myself through these activities I have played since their release. There's no excitement I feel heading towards the next week, or week after or months. The hype I feel for each season has decreased season after season as it becomes more dull and lacking in passion driven content. I'm not going to simply drop this game because it's not supporting my opinions, but man does it feel like nothing really matters. Maybe this is a flaw with the seasonal model itself, maybe I've played too much destiny, something just doesn't feel right to me with how things are going. Thank you for reading if you did. And I'm sorry if its messy to read.

  • A vendor reset isn't too difficult, it's more work than any developer wants to put into a "games as a service" title. For people who don't know, Games as a Service means "Minimal investment in gameplay, Maximum investment in microtransactions". Glad I could clear that up for some people.
