Lemme break this down for you in simple to understand chunks, yeah? Firstly...hate to brake it to you but Luna's isn't locked behind needing a team teams. It is locked behind skill and effort in competitive PvP. What's wrong with needing skill to acquire it? That seems far more rewarding than just grinding out boring content to get the gun. If you aren't good enough to go toe-to-toe with high skill players then you shouldn't be able to get the gun. If you aren't willing to take a little bit of time to improve yourself so you can go toe-to-toe against those kinds of players then you shouldn't be able to get the gun. That's what the community asked for. Pinnacle PvP weapons reserved for the most dedicated of PvP players. That's what they got. Nothing wrong with that. It is the exact same concept as raid rewards. If you're not good enough, you need to either be willing to learn and improve as a player, or get locked out of those rewards. Just like life, you can't expect everything to just be given out for zero effort just because you want it. Speaking of PvE quickly. There is far more PvE content than simply the campaign and bounties. You must be forgetting strikes, raids (single-handendly the best part of the entire game), blind well and ep, the dreaming city, even gambit (which if you play with your family as your post leads me to believe is incredibly easy to steam roll in with a team of 4 and good - yet not difficult strategies). To complain about there being nothing to do in the game except PvP when all you seem to do is campaign and bounties is either ignorant, lazy or both. Third. Do I agree that shotguns are a problem in PvP. Yes. Do I agree the pre 6v6 update maps are a problem. Undoubtedly. However you then go on to mention nearly every other weapon archetype in the game as a problem too. The Last Word is an excellent counter to shotguns and is incredibly easy to obtain by following a simple quest which, yes it does involve PvP, but is not that hard if you stick at it. You only need a 0.5 efficiency rating per match to progress that step of the quest. Grenade launchers area risk and reward weapon. As are FR's. Luna's, NF and LW all require primary ammo so have no correlation to your point of special ammo being a problem (which it isn't really tbf). All I'm trying to really say here is that every PvP game has meta's, not just Destiny. Those meta's will shift and change with updates. However all things considered Destiny's meta is (with the exception of OEM and Shotguns) fairly open and shotguns have numerous easy counters. Removing Trails was by no means an issue. It was a dead, broken mode that nobody played when it was around. All the sweats were always in Comp. Bungie have said they need time to get the mode right and they really do because it was a disgrace before. But my point is that nobody was playing trails before. Thus your theory that all the trials sweats have moved to comp which has, in turn, displaced the comp sweats to QP is a load of rubbish. There will always be players more skilled than you in all the playlists if you refuse to learn and improve yourself so you just need to accept that. [TL;DR] Yes there are problems with the PvP meta and maps but it s not nearly as bad as you have made it out to be. Trials had to be removed. No one was playing it so nothing has actually changed about the people playing comp and QP. You're just too lazy to improve. There is far more PvE content than campaign and bounties, that's just ignorant. Luna's is not locked behind needing a team. It is locked behind skill and dedication to the activity in the same way raid gear and weapons are. Plenty of people have gotten Luna's solo. Or just you know...use an LFG or clans to find a team that suits you. Also stop being so hard on streamers. They do have lives. Their lives are to entertain. They dedicate far more time to creating content that their thousands of viewers will enjoy than to just sitting around playing video games all day. The content creator community in Destiny has done some incredible things with their status including raising millions of dollars for charity. I'd like to see you do the same. Do they get special treatment from the studio. No. They are the face of the larger community but and are the kind of dedicated, hardcore audience that the game is trying to cater to. They acquire the gear you can't because they dedicate themselves to getting it. They get it quicker because they have more time to do so but you will also get these things, albeit slower if you also put the same amount of effort into learning and improving as they do.
