[quote]Having almost every raid title while simultaneously complaining about Rite of the Nine is wild.[/quote] Been playing this game and it's predecessor for nearly a decade. Reusing the same old shtick for every new activity is lame and exhausting. I've already done these challenges in other game modes. Not stoked about doing them again for the 71st time, but this time in dungeons. Lot of fun ideas, they went back to the same old well. Tired, boss.

They've been creatively bankrupt since the introduction of Gambit. (There's a few exceptions here and there... few and far between) The good people left, got fired, moved to Marathon (lol), yada yada... you already know that. Expecting the unexpected is a time long past, you're gonna have to make peace with that.

Indeed, the exceptions prove the rule in this case. It's not necessarily expecting the unexpected, it's more like "it would be nice to see the game structured for fun rather than juvenile chest pumping." The last year especially, the activities have been tuned to be so obnoxious that people rarely do them on LFG anymore. Salvation's Edge, Rite of the Nine...started with Pantheon last year. I get that the most hardcore players want something to do, but hardcore players only play with hardcore players. They never use LFG, or play with strangers, etc. Saltagreppo isn't constructing his world's first teams on LFG two weeks before the raid comes out. It doesn't, nor has it ever, made sense to cater the game to such a select few, none of whom play the game like a typical person. Like you said, I have all the raid seals. I'm just content with being good at the game. I don't need "the challenge" to feel good about myself. I already do...but I'm freaking bored with having Yet Another Activity where I have to wait for my other hardcore gamer friends to get online. I miss the days where I could just do "LFG raid, no experience necessary" and I knew it would take less than 2 hours (with explanations) because that's how raids used to be constructed.

I get what you mean. By "expect the unexpected" I meant having the expectation that Bungie would do something different. Unique. But that they haven't, don't, and probably won't.

Yeah I think he is into some kinky stuff with your dad

Anythings possible. Lol Welcome back!
