Bungie desperately wants us to increase playtime… by throttling gameplay.

Bungie just nerfed the wrathborn and expunge farm for candy and pages to force players to complete 100 strikes instead of finishing the event quickly. Here is what I don’t understand: why make players do more long boring core activities? Surely it’s understood that people are farming these 3 minute activities because they aren’t boring, broken or completely neglected unlike strikes, crucible and gambit. This idea of squeezing as much playtime out of us artificially by removing fun and speedy farms, rather than fixing the current playlists that offer no fun factors and have been virtually unchanged in years is just a testament to where priorities lie as a company. Instead of throttling candy and pages, how about incentivise use to play gambit? Crucible? Especially strikes? Gambit has been a broken, boring, repetitive mess for the past year or more and has seen no changes. Strikes have seen no changes since year 1 and don’t NEARLY compare to how good the playlist was in d1 (specifically: score, better modifiers, better and more rewarding loot, strike specific gear). Just a little something to think about. P.S: Buff leviathans breath

    Again: I don’t even understand players grinding this “event” to begin with. Lore pages? Shader? Emblem? Triumph pennies? So boring. So unrewarding. So my question is: why do you play Destiny now? Don’t you have other more interesting games to play that recently released? I’m going tbh, Destiny is not worth $100/year only to run a hamster wheel of recycled dog poop. However over the past year or so there was nothing else to play, try, experience other than a couple games. It’s not the case anymore, and more games are coming on the calendar. So if you can’t just drop Destiny because you recently have spent another 100 or much more on this game, or need to grind for a 1000th messenger and act like trials is your rendez vous, that’s a you problem. I didn’t pre order the gally I got 7y ago already, I didn’t pre order a hive ghost I can’t care less about, I don’t find fun to play the same pvp maps, some 7 years old, over and over again, i don’t find trials interesting or fun and even less rewarding, so I’m totally free to play other games, and I’m having fun. You, instead, by hamstering this dog poop event and the rest of the game, are only giving bungie more reasons to be lazy and stingy.
