What if, when people stated they were quitting the game, they just didn’t state it, and then quit without a whole soap opera monologue hoping a Bungie employee will see their final desperate plea and send them a message promising change? I wonder what that world would be like?

It stopped being fun with Shadowkeep. Using Seasons to turn the game into a weekly chore was the worst idea ever. Yes, they did it the year of Forsaken, but the FOMO was more forgiving and each season actually felt different.

[quote]Destiny Has Stopped Being Fun[/quote] Dude, Destiny stopped being fun years ago. I realize your grievances here are the multiplayer, but I see this from a PvE viewpoint as well. Once in a while they release a DLC ("Season") that has a little interest to it. The problem is that they are so similar to the prior "season", and are just reskinned artifacts with a "new" objective enemy, and a new mind numbing grind. Savathun was the only decent one they've released in some time. All the ones prior or since are almost Call of Duty reskin/repetitive that they just don't have any appeal to them. Especially when you are continually forced into repeat the same dang battles MULTIPLE times with randos. At best Destiny is a time filler, when you just want to shoot stuff, and don't want to play your other main games at the moment. [i]Downvotes incoming in 5,...4,...3,....2,...[/i]

History of Destiny: People got excited, then the game almost dies. Luke Smith steals an idea from WoW and his team creates The Taken King. Gets a promotion, ruins the game again, so he continues to use ideas from WoW to bring back hardcore player interest into the game. D2 launches, hardcore players ban together and leave the game because Activision wants to cater to casuals. Bungie realizes their mistake after two horrible DLC's, and comes out with one of the best storylines ever in Forsaken. Game becomes a hybrid of hardcore grinding, and somewhat casual play. Bungie decides to let a swarm of pests known as New Lights infest the game by making it F2P - forums get bombarded with demands by freeloaders demanding all content be made accessible to those -blam!- to pay. Game gets put back in the dumpster. Witch Queen is released, a glimmer of hope appears. PvP becomes crap, community demands nerfs to this, buffs to that. They get it, and still they cry and whine. Moral of the story, Bungie could make the perfect game, although impossible, they accommodate to all demands, even the unreasonable ones - and still you will find the forums full of entitlement saying the game is too hard, too easy, too fast, too slow, too long, too short, too hardcore, too casual...etc. etc. It's a vicious, never ending cycle.

It amazes me that people will continue to play a game they dislike or deem as not fun when there are so many other options for games out there.

Bungie has made mistakes that have definitely decreased the feelings of accomplishment, reward and enjoyment for a while now. Bungie has to start learning from their mistakes but they rarely do. They have to bring back the feeling of accomplishment, reward and enjoyment...not just mindless grinding for lackluster rewards. For example, I really miss Pinnacle/Ritual weapons. Every game mode had their own and gave me a reason to grind that mode to get them. Loaded Question, Redrix's Claymore/Broadsword and 21% Delirium are just some examples. I had something to chase. Even if I wasn't going to use it, I chased it anyway. Now I only have one weapon to chase per season and then an ornament😂😭. Things are pretty messed up right now.

The bottom line and top dollar are all that matter. Bungie has proven this time and time again. They're a corporation not a fun factory.

Destiny stopped being fun after Forsaken.

The one thing I notice about these mad people is that they’re always just about PvP.

[quote]Even disregarding this most recent patch, Bungie you have made it blatantly clear that you're not interested in your core audience anymore. Every step you have taken to dumb down the game and make it more accessible to a casual audience has only slighted your long-term fans and regular players, all while also not really solving the core issues you claim to have fixed. You asked us to trust you about the slide changes. Didn't change anything. You said you wanted to tone down the number of OHK abilities in the game. 3.0 Subclasses threw that idea out the window. You said special weapons were too prevalent. Still see either special Linears or shotguns all over the kill feed. You asked us to trust you with Airborne Effectiveness. We still can't build into it, most people despise it, but you won't take it back. You've got flinch so absurdly tuned yet the main issue which is CONSECUTIVE SHOTS PUTTING THE RETICAL BACK ON TARGET still hasn't been addressed. Bungie has new priorities working with Sony now, they need to get as many new players as possible into the game, but they tried that before with D2 at launch. They've been trying to dig themselves out of that hole ever since. Here we are again. I think I'm done. I'm not having fun banging my head against this wall of a game you made just for you to disrespect your core players time, effort, and patience for you to start making the right decisions.[/quote] Lightfall may be the first dlc I don't buy

I pretty much only play the story, don't care about the rest anymore.

No matter what you say, there’s something about the snappy gunplay and exotic environment, unequalled imo. I’m 48, been gaming since the first Nintendo, and Destiny is by far the game I’ve enjoyed the most overall: meaning actual gameplay combined with relationships I’ve had, played with my son, made great friends. Carried new friends to their first gm, hear them yell YA they are so happy. It gets repetitive, yeah, but even if I stop playing for X amount of time, eventually the itch will come back.

Yea pvp is sweaty af, all this new stuff is just farm this activity 600 times to be done, a bunch of re skin and re used stuff, a sht season story fo this, kill this, collect this and wait until next reset, I think the only time I have fun is on freelance trials, not to add all the pay cosmetics stop with the p2p cosmetics is not like this is a free play game dont think I'm getting the new dlc is they continue like that. They need to fix the real problems.
