Who Actually Enjoys Grinding Power?????
Who was this even made for????
Issue 1: It takes a TON of time to get Power Level up.
Issue 2: Loot drops are tied to Power Level, NOT difficulty.

That is how the game should be played . Every season we should start at 0 power level . But there is nothing to do because they removed every pinacle and came up with that portal nonsense . I already played empire hunts when they came out in beyond light and no-one played empire hunts since then . Now all of a sudden they are pinacle ?? And so many battlegrounds ... again . But no dungeons , raids , the weekly nightfall , no more powerfull gear for completing 8 bounties for banshee and zavala . I actually like grinding power levels and then when i would reach max power level i would play end game activities like grandmaster nightfalls and gild conquerer for the 11th time , do dungeons and farm artifice armor , sometimes a raid so i can get red borders . But now all of a sudden i gotta farm for completely new armor with new stats , new weapons that are 100 times worse then the guns i have been using for the past 5 years just because i can put on a modifier for an activity i already did years ago ??? 😂 People at bungie are nuts .

I have reached 300,after that i totaly lost the will to keep going. You HAVE to do master difficultys to get higer. Solo ops is 1 reward. Fireteam have 3 Matchmaking on a rotation i think,BUT randoms normaly speed run it so you dont get the score(Rank for the bonus drops) Whoever thought this was a good idea rly dont care about theyr community. Game has gone from okey to a total nightmare for some players.

2 RepliesWhy do people complain about having to grind when the point of a looter shooter is to grind?

3 RepliesAlot of people actually do. Its why when they removed the power grind the playerbase dropped like a rock because they had no reason to do content.

2 RepliesEdited by I am kevin: 7/24/2025 7:32:52 AMTo My Fellow Guardians: I’ve noticed many of you logging in less often lately, and honestly, I get it. Destiny 2 right now feels like it’s leaning heavily into systems and challenges that just aren’t fun for casual players—or even for some longtime veterans. The power grind, repetitive structure, and chaotic PvP balance make it feel like more of a chore than a game at times. Here’s my take: if you’re not enjoying it, it’s okay to step away. No shame in that. Bungie won’t really change until enough people show them, clearly and collectively, that the current direction isn’t working. And the most effective way to do that? Stop playing. Don’t buy the next season. Don’t grind if it’s not fun. This isn’t about gatekeeping. It’s about not forcing yourself to play a game that’s no longer giving you joy. Bungie needs to see that feedback through action, not just words—and the clearest action is logging off. Whatever you decide, I respect it. But if you’re sticking around and still trying to enjoy what’s left, more power to you too. Eyes up, Guardian.

I just wish items would drop more than just +2 or + 1. I don't mind grinding power if the activities are fun. But this is just mindless grinding and it's terrible

4 RepliesIssue 3: Nothing new gets unlocked with a high enough Power. Same activities, just beefier enemies.

I definitely do not

Not me 1000%.

Yeah when I heard this, I was so happy I didn’t buy this crap. I don’t remember Bungie fully explaining how players would get Tier 5 gear. They left it up in the air cause they KNEW that If players saw the Tier 5 gear locked behind power level, most would NOT buy. They scandalous for that! AND I saw that the Raid Gear is Tier 1 gear? And this is supposed to be Endgame Content? The disrespect is at an all time high.

4 Replieswhat is cute is when an activity is 200 lvl but has a -50 delta, but you can't play it at 150 lvl because you arn't high enough lvl. but if you were 200 lvl you would be pushed back down to 150 lvl because of the -50 lvl delta.
-
If actually meant something I could. Buts it’s totally arbitrary within most of the game’s content.

In general, grinding is fine. The biggest issue, in my opinion, is the involuntary resetting of progress just to make you do it again. I'm with it.. I grinded Baal runs ( Diablo 2 LOD on pc , thier 'raid boss/farm ) over and over 100 runs a night.. The why? Farming for god rolls, of course.. the reason we were all ok with it ? Thousands of items were dropping.. you could sell, trade upgrade and try new builds.. it wasn't 4 swords and 2 shields over and over. Destiny has an unrewarding system.

What I find really annoying now is that I feel like there is no point in leveling up all of my weapons that are in the vault because it will just be a waste of time since everything will be reset to 200 when Renegades comes out in December.

game wasn't designed for the masses . it's only for streamers and day 1 raids from here on out. bungie is blocking players from playing it by power level ,knowing most players won't ever play end game now.

1 ReplyIt's like playing an idle game... congrats you have big number now go get bigger numbers so you can unlock.... wait for it...BIG numbers but with different colors then even bigger numbers but this time they spin AND have a different color.... And guess what those games are also starting free to play with limited gameplay unless you buy premium and micro transactional hellscapes for limited time cosmetics... Sound familiar....
-
It's definitely crap. So, no. I don't like it at all.

Edited by Discovery: 7/24/2025 6:05:55 AMAs it is implemented, I don't enjoy it. In six months your time spent grinding is pointless also. The thing that would make me grind is if I can overlevel and actually feel I have more power, then I would grind. Now Power is mostly to hinder you getting to run more difficult activities. As the game is becoming more and more difficult for every release, I don't chase more difficult activites, and if I would want it, I can just choose a more difficult version in the GUI anyway to get even more annoying bullet sponges that already are in the "easier" activities. I'm not a hamster, I'm a human.

Edited by Maddmunkey: 7/24/2025 4:41:53 PMI'm trying to figure out how they expected to enjoy this but I just can't I can't farm for any sort of specific gun or armor loadout for buildcrafting because I need 8 million hours of grinding to be "allowed" to get the buildcraft gear so then what is the point in grinding now if we are going to be reset and we don't have a ton of time to grind? If I had red borders, specific armor or weapons, or anything that would allow me to buildcraft so I could try playing the game in a different way then I'd happily be grinding but I'm not allowed to grind for that right now so I just don't want to do it because the process itself is not even fun either nor are there any fun matchmaking opportunities besides quickplay and that got old super fast.

I'll say that when I came back the month before EoF, and I was handed max power gear....I had more fun than ever. Being able to just jump on and be able to farm whatever I wanted was nice. Going back to this grind fest after EoF.....I hate it. I'd rather wait till the end of the season we're they probably will do the same with handing out max lv gear. Let us play the game, not grind away.

Edited by Obelix: 7/27/2025 12:16:49 PMYes it sucks but I’ve been trying to enjoy the ride instead of rushing for the end, whatever that is. Bungie introduced a lot of new mechanics and gear for build crafting and I found you don’t need to be 350+ to enjoy replaying activities with different build, different game loop, different gear… Personally that’s what I like the most, the grind itself is boring, and the activity are mostly the same we’ve had for years but the fun, FOR ME, is in engaging in the grind as a way to test new build new combinations, see how far in difficulty they can carry you… I get much more of a sense of power in the game doing that, than mindlessly chasing higher tier gear or a light level. But it’s just my 2 cents.

2 RepliesSoon even rerolls of your weapons/armour is going to be for sale for Silver. No I am NOT kidding.....

Edited by Guardian, Archon Of Light: 7/26/2025 3:59:48 PMNot when it's a substitute for content, and doesn't matter in endgame Like climbing a ladder to nowhere, just to say you climbed a latter You should feel yourself taking less damage and doing more damage as you increase in power, if you don't, than it's just wasting your time D1 has the perfect progression system, you want to grind in D1

I don’t mind it, my issue is them moving us back to half power at season reset. Lol
