Dear Bungie and Forums, I'm going to explain why the first DLC -blam!-ed up Destiny for me and all of my friends. We played the beta and since day one, we were all super excited and had lots of fun and made a lot new contacts while playing the first three months. We played the Vault of Glass, without help and exploiting. Got our own tactics and theories and we spent so much time in getting the full raid set... Far too much time as it seems. I got in over 30 runs (i deleted two of my chars and played new ones) with all chests a total amount of 4 set pieces. I upgraded a lot of exotic and legendary weapons and armors. Our whole team was so excited about getting the hard raid stuff like helm and VM that we didnt stop playing, no matter what it took because we thought we will need it in the first DLC. Yeah, Destiny was fun. It WAS. What is the logic, that all people who wasted all their time in the Raid are now fooled because you can BUY better gear instantly ? Why are all the Exotic weapons I loved and used now worse than my unused because I have to upgrade them again and wasted all the materials on it? Why cant the ones we fully ugraded pre DLC be upgraded automaticly without Xûr? You upgrade the Vex Mythoclast to the highest damage just to make it the one iwth the least one week later? I personally love everything you put into the game. The weapons are nice, the armors look neat. The PVP maps are awesome and the new Raid too. But sincerely.... What about I use the next to weeks to get the max amount of commendation and coins for Vanguard and Crucible with all characters - abandond Destiny for three months and when I log back in with the next DLC I'll be instantly better equipped than all the people who played it this time... ...This is just ridiculous. It is nice for all the casual gamers and, as it seems for all that kind of people you (Bungie) aim up too. We others are kicked in the ass by your gear resets and if this will happen with every DLC you will ruin that game totally just like Ubisoft with AC. Bungie... You created a excellent shooter with a GREAT design, an awesome universe and perfect mechanics. Why ruin that? Gear resets? Okay. But not every 3 months! New armor to buy? Okay. But not BETTER than the last raidgear! I can only speak for myself and everyone i know. But we are going to play Destiny a LOT different from now on. We named our Clan out of fun "Almost Casual" and now where going to play like that. Casual. I would have loved if I had now the same experience and motivation with the DLC as with the original game. I bought your Season Pass and im going to play your two DLC's. But if you keep your system like this, I'll be out after that. Cheers.
