Well been here since day one, over 250 raid completions in D1, guess I’m a casual! I’m going to go talk to a brick wall now as I’m thinking I’ll have a more intellectual conversation:)
I have been here since day 1 too. I played Destiny 1 in alpha, beta, from release date until the end of Destiny 1. I too have numerous raid completions including all hard mode raids. I preordered Destiny 2 and after the first week of it being out my PS4 died. I wasn’t able to get another until a few weeks ago hence my characters not all being maxed out. So yeah, I do know a thing or two about Destiny and the community. I do count as a “core” player. And I feel like changing some exotic weapons up is a good thing and I feel like making the light hard cap harder to reach is a good thing too. It gives us reasons to play which Destiny 1 did if you can remember. So yeah, I am a core player and I like the changes. If you disagree then that’s fine. But don’t be an asshole and say that my point isn’t valid because you are somehow superior.
