I'd appreciate it if you could read till the end because these are some issues that I want others to see. I'll have a TL;DR if you don't want to read it. I was watching a video earlier of ex-Bungie talking about the development of Halo 2 and 3 and the thing that stuck out to me was the fact that Bungie actually played a LOT of their own game. They criticized their own work and made the need changes, taking the players perspective. Hence, why the Halo games under Bungie where solid games that became iconic. I really don't have any reason to believe Bungie still does this. This game is really just not fun anymore and it has problems that are pretty hilariously stupid. For example, I CANNOT imagine Bungie developers creating Champions, nerfing Guardians and their weapons over and over, and then playing the Master Nightfall and saying "hey this is really fun!" If you've survived that without nearly losing your sanity, good for you. Thank GOD I had good players to help me and I have Mountain Top. I cannot imagine casual players having fun doing that or even getting it done, let alone Bungie employees who have a job working on the game and probably don't have time to play. Of course, you have to do it for the Solstice glow and its not a good idea to put such an annoying, high level activity in something that every wants done, and that brings me to the point. The solstice grind this year is not only uninspiring, but its not exactly free for all. At first, the gear seems easy for everybody to get for free, and that would make sense, seeing as how Destiny 2 (for the most part) is free for Y3, and an expansion right around the corner, it wouldn't make sense to buy Shadowkeep right now. Yet, you need Shadowkeep to complete the armor due to having to complete Pit of Heresy. My friend is currently dealing with this problem and I don't think that's fair. You might as well give it to people who only have Shadowkeep if your gonna force them to buy it to finish the glow anyway. I don't see how Bungie didn't see this as being a problem for people who don't have the expansion and want the armor. Its like they didn't actually grind for the armor themselves, and thought, "hey, we need to do Pit of Heresy for this last part, but that's for Shadowkeep, so maybe we should change that for free players who want the armor." But no, they still show no self awareness of these issues. There are a bunch of other things Bungie does that shows they don't play this game and its really annoying. Thing I don't need to mention really. How can you be the judge of your own game if you don't put yourself in the shoes of the players and play your own game?! TL;DR: Bungie doesn't play this game themselves, and it shows through the Master Nightfall and Solstice Pit of Heresy completion.
