The entire reason I chase powerful weapons and armor is because they are powerful. I didn't go through the whisper mission countless times to end up using a legendary sniper, I went through the mission countless times because I wanted to use whisper, white nail and all. Bungie is basically giving players who grinded their ass off for these things a slap in the face. Bungie, I hate that I spent so much time in whisper, EP, grinding spider bounties, and other activities to get all these cool weapons only to have them not be what I chased in the end. You want to make things challenging? Add a hard mode, add world tiers like the division, do something else, fix your design philosophy. You have such cool weapons in the universe and so much potential, but we can't have any of these cool or fun things because you're for some reason so obsessed with making the experience feel bland. The game is turning into another generic boring fps, and I'm done wasting my time chasing things that are just going to be trash later on. I'm not going to put in the effort if my time and effort isn't going to be respected. I opted out of this season entirely, and I'll probably do the same with opulence, annual pass feels like such a waste. The game has gotten too meta for it's own good, to the point where all the weapons are just going to suck but have cool animations. Give me icebreaker, give me gally, give me raze lighter, give me mythoclast, give me all the cool badass guns, make me powerful, make me become legend, make the game fun.
