Nah, I like the fact that they keep changing things that are not broken. The more people that stop playing the better 👍

My Theory is that Bungie loves the Hate, as its easier to acquire then Love. because Love requires Time, Care, and Actual hard work, were as Copying and pasting, and rising Cost on everything is just easier.

I think it’s been made perfectly clear that they WANT us to hate them. The only thing I can’t figure out is why.

I think they’re attempting to garner player retention through addiction rather than through the game’s loot reward structure actually feeling genuinely rewarding. All my build/loadouts use raid and seasonal weapons. That’s it. Why? Because they’re craftable and so they’re the only ones I could reliably get the rolls I want on. Bungie, I want new things to try out with builds but when everything else in the game besides raids and seasonal activities provides so little agency to the point of being basically worthless, or NO agency(dungeons), you have a reward system where the vast majority of activities/focuses are disappointing 99.9% of the time. Is that supposed to be how it works? Because that doesn’t make for a fun experience. I’m playing significantly less because of it, and I’m not getting the deluxe of Final Shape specifically because of how awful chasing dungeon weapon rolls is, not to mention their lack of access to enhanced perks. Why would I spend money on something so fundamentally unrewarding that doesn’t respect player time and effort because it lacks both agency and bad luck protection? You catch more flies with honey. Like seriously. I WANT reasons to play more but this is a LOOT game and when most of the LOOT is this unreliably attainable because it doesn’t respect my time and effort you’re not giving me any reasons to. These focusing costs are outrageous considering the reward structure of this game means that most completions/focuses are disappointing 99.9% of the time. I really don’t understand the plan here. Now especially is not the time to throttle loot. My friends/clans play time is at an all time low. I can’t even scrape enough of them together for a raid.

1 plat run of coil, which can be completed just as fast as a master NF, yields tons of materials. Ascendant shards, alloys, prisms, enhancement cores, legendary shards, glimmer. Tons of engrams. Now if you don’t own the season package, you get penalized. Good I guess.

Just another example of a half thought out change. They increase the engram drop rate but increase focusing costs. It makes no sense to increase drops and costs.

Maybe all the bad decisions aren’t so bad since hella people still be playing 🤷‍♂️

They know y'all aint gonna quit, so don't try coming here with any kind of bluff like "you might".
