[quote]FWIW: I like Joe…I’ve never met him irl, but I do appreciate how he puts himself forward in front of this ‘-blam!-’ community without any other support. I also appreciate that he experienced a bit of an issue with a Champion…and shared it with the universe, for all to point and whisper. Who hasn’t had moments like that? I know I have…and still do! Like I said, I like Joe! 👍 My POV: I still haven’t preordered even though I normally do. The new season (23) is upon us in a few hours…and…well…meh?! I already do far less stuff than I used to; now it’s mostly vanilla stuff, eg, bounties / completing unfinished seals and triumphs / some Trials if a weapon I don’t have is in the mix / and that’s about it. Looking ahead: what I’m most looking forward to is to end my 10-year journey and move on. If things were so good and things did indeed get much, much better, then I might well stick around for a bit longer… But…the state of the game as it currently stands, is telling me to hang up my guns and run! P2P / nickel & dime antics just get EverWorse / ridiculous RNG is really no good / artificial enhancing difficulty levels are beyond a joke / bugs / glitches / crashes / servers / the ‘Invincibles’ in PvP / lack of fun in just about anything / progress ‘throttled’ at every opportunity / impeded at every turn / insta-fix on anything that benefits us or is a bit of fun / etc…etc… I don’t trust BHQ - they’ve not been straight with us since D1Y1. To be more specific: I don’t trust the upper tier MisManagement at BHQ…🤬 The worker bees at BHQ, ie, the rank and file employees - these, I like and respect…for the great work they do, under very challenging conditions for sure; because - they’re gamers too, and they know what we know! 👈 Anyhoo, there it is! Like I said - I like Joe…BUT???… 🗿 TLDR: 🥳 Ease springs! 🫡[/quote]
