It ended when Bungie went from Age of Triumph to the dumpster fire that is D2. It had none of the improvements from D1, weak abilities, bare bones skill trees, weak weapons, a terrible weapon loadout, limited infusion, slow cooldowns, a terrible narrative, even worse DLC, no Intellect/Discipline/Strength, ugly armor and class items, more reskins, crappy exotics, no sparrow horns, no ammo synths, no armor perks, no factions, no bounties, no lore, snipers that don't penetrate elemental shields anymore, no skeleton keys, no strike specific loot, no heroic strikes/story, timed nightfalls, and most importantly, no FUN. They've spent the last 2 years giving us what we already had in D1, and we were all dumb enough to pay for it AGAIN, because the gunplay in this game is unmatched and addicting. Now, they tell us that content is hard to make? No other developer says that. Don't they have hundreds of employees? What are they all doing? What happened to the armor designers from D1? Why is everything in D2 a reskin? Don't they take any pride in their work? They've lost 13 million players since D2 launched, and they have done nothing but pander to elitists, turned the game into a boring, grindy job, nerfed fun exotics, push solo, and normal players away from the franchise, and added more microtransactions. No wonder Activision had enough. Bungie forgot how to make and sell games.
