This game is way too easy in almost all activities. It does not matter how much you play, just your skill. I’m a doctorate student with a 30hr/week job and I can hop on and run any of the raids in less than an hour or solo a nightfall for my rewards in 15 minutes. 99% of the game is very easy. The only things that are hard are playing underpowered content and things like shattered throne...even that for the solstice gear masterwork me and a buddy ran it flawlessly using only fighting lions without a sweat
If the game is that easy, run a Nightfall at max difficulty, SOLO. Just because you are good does not mean the rest of the community is in the same league. As for Datto, I would like to see that wimp go 1 vs 1 against one_second_kill. There are always aspects of the game that can only be competed at the highest ELO level. We all pay the same amount for the game, and youtubers should not dictate the content that the majority of the player base is healthy with.
The OPs point was that Datto plays a ton and thus thinks the game is easy...which leads me to believe he thinks you have to play 24/7 to be good which is absolutely false. Deeper customization does not alienate casuals, because this game is easy enough that deep customization is really not necessary. But it deepens the end-game for the hardcore audience which is who keeps the game relevant during the droughts that casuals will leave during.
