I think with over 1 million + copies pre-ordered they will not miss you not buying it.

i have a fulltime job and im currently enrolled in college and i finished it weeks ago

I'm confused by this rant of a post. I'm assuming your main complaint is getting to Rank 16 in Dares of Eternity, but then you shift the post to talking about mods and aspects. Let's dissect this post: 1. Dares of Eternity: Yes, there is a grind associated, but this does not need to be done in a single play session. If you are trying to rush to get it done in the next week, then I get your frustration, but we have had this game mode for 2 months now, plenty of time for even the casual gamer to get it done. While I completely understand I play more than the average person, I've been able to reset Xur's rank 3 times and likely to reset a 4th time before Witch Queen. I may have grinded the game mode on one or two occasions, but most of this reputation was just playing a few games each day to get Starhorse bounties done. You don't need to burn yourself out trying to get all 16 ranks complete in a single play session. Also keep in mind, this isn't going away with Witch Queen and if they don't reset Xur's rank, you can continue to play the game mode to get the catalyst over time. 2. Mods and Aspects: This is where you start to completely lose me. Is your complaint that mods and aspects are too confusing/complicated to use because they offer a wide variety of options to play? Especially after the Void 3.0 announcement, it is clear we are moving in a direction that offers a ton of customizability in gameplay that offers significantly more ways to create character builds to play how you want to play. I can't imagine why you would see this as a bad thing. 3. Sunsetting bad: "you took away weapons that were hard won". No, they didn't. You still have your Recluse or Mountaintop or whatever sunset weapon you are talking about. They have made those weapons unusable for endgame content while allowing them to still be usable in older/casual activities. With that said, I don't think anyone enjoyed having Mountaintop/Recluse permanently glued to their inventory for 2 years straight, it is always better to have a rotating meta that encourages playing the game to get new and exciting loot. Weapon crafting is not a reskin, it is a way to get the exact roll you want and invest in weapons you like to use. 4. You're "leaving": If Witch Queen is the hill you want to die on, I think you don't have the right priorities when playing this game. It sounds like you would be content with the same weapons and same builds over the course of years, which is not how a game like Destiny is meant to be played. I find it hard to believe you thoroughly enjoyed the first 7 years of the franchise, but Witch Queen is the last straw.

Exotics are for casuals, they tend to be easier to get than catalysts, which are for hardcore players. Catalysts are meant to be grindy to earn and unlock. Good thing catalysts aren't needed to beat the game, so casuals don't really need them. If you want them, prepare to grind. Remember errianas vow catalyst? 100-400 match made activities? Mida multi tool, 5500 glory and win a match?

The game was always a grind...since vanilla D1 Not sure why you complain about grind in a looter game 😂 Oh BTW dares isn't going away and your rank won't reset... Also dares came out when? Mid december? And WQ end of february...so 2 month The i"I have a life " excuses ..man that need to be stop to be used as a crutch in this forum....average gamer nowadays is 30 year old with kids and a job....lots of player have a life but still play and complete the biggest challenge inside the game ... And lastly ...why you posting this? Why you think anyone care ? Post this on your clan discord or whatever they use.... P.s whenever you play you do regular strike and patrols....its not the fault you use your time poorly

you enjoyed the game before, you obviously were not around for the REAL grind fest that was D1 or the beginning's of D2 before Bungie catered to weak minded New Lights. I'd rather grind out DoE than ever do the Izanagi's grind again. Considering how much time they gave you to complete the ranks, it's fairly easy to do. Even with having a life and other commitments, running 3 a day, which just about 45 minutes with matchmaking and loading times, it would take you less than a month. Or, you can do what I did, play with friends and all the trash talking made the time fly by really quick. Hour a day, and we were done before we knew it

Realised I was close to the splicer seal, I'm at 9/10 I just need to fully unlock the servitor vendor, so I look, I need just nodes totalling 3200 decrypted data, the only source is the event which rewards 55 data, so I need to run 65 events to finish the seal, yeah but no thankyou, stick it.

Oh look, it’s our daily “I’m done with Destiny, not buying Witch Queen post”. I’ll see you on the 22nd when you’re here complaining about long queue times and how you want a refund.

Wq will be pretty much the same as bl, just with updated light subclasses instead of stasis.

[quote] 90+ Dares to achieve rank 16 with xur just how much time do you think the average gamer (with a life) has got on their hands? [/quote] We had 6 + months [i]and[/i] the event isnt going away next season. I believe we have a year+ before they vault it. You are telling me that this time window isnt vast enough for [i]the average gamer?[/i] You cant be this dim. Or [i]the actual problem[/i] You are forcing yourself to grind this asap and projecting this notion that bungie is saying do all of this by the end of the week or its going away? Either way, you played yourself. Stop making it about other players. Its about [i]you and [b][u]your problems[/u][/b][/i].

Hah! I took an extended break starting in Season of the Hunt and came back during Season of the Lost. Splicer was fun, but Chosen, ugh... You do (the same three) strikes to get 14 Cabal Gold each. You use 14 Cabal Gold to slot the hammer. You do a "battleground" strike to add one hammer charge. You need 3 hammer charges to get a focused engram for a 50/50 shot at the weapon you want. So that's six playlist strikes (3 Vanguard, 3 Battlegrounds) to get ONE Tier 2 focus for the weapon you want to grind, but you get the other one EVERY TIME. (Wanted Brass Attacks sidearm, got the SMG) 25-30 charges later, you realize you never got it from the Season Pass so it isn't in your loot pool, so you can't get it anyway, much less grind for the roll you want. Super fun!
