Casuals and bad management.

- Year One made completely irrelevant - Nightfall Rewards getting worse... No substantial XP increase because they now split between Faction and Vanguard rather than one or the other, no Radiant Light. - 5000XP Vanguard Bounties getting removed - All strikes not being in one big playlist - The Strike playlist still continuing to give you the same strike in succession - Armor takes forever to level up (coincides with removal of 5000XP bounties and removal of Radiant Light) - No guaranteed way to obtain Strange Coins, rate of accumulation is slower than expenditure - Removal of Exotic Shards... people only bought them when they needed them and many really need them now! - Reducing Xur's Heavy Ammo pack from 5 to 3 (coincides with Strange Coins rate of accumulation) - The Infusion System... could right an essay about it - Ghost Shells and Class Items not being cosmetic - The Raid not striking the balance of being challenging and fun at the same time, instead just pure tedium due to incompetence of others or the fact that it is just a laggier Raid than VoG and CE combined. - A Raid run can be very unproductive with the RNG it takes to drop stuff you want followed by the RNG that decides the Light Level of it - Removal of Elemental Primaries making no incentive to play the Raid - Lag in both PvE and PvP still being an ever increasing issue 15 months later - Too many new Exotic weapons handed on a plate to players. Game is essentially shoot and loot. When you have all the Exotic weapons in the first three weeks why bother shooting as in continue playing? - Lack of developer-playerbase interactions

Too much focus on pvp. Making content irrelevant. Bungie punishing players by making their gear rubbish for no reason. Bungie constantly dictating how the community plays the game. Weekly updates pvp, pvp, pvp enough said. Microtransactions. Not enough communication with the community. There you go

I honestly feel bad for people who only do PvE at this point they must be sooo bored of the same strikes

They fired everyone who had good ideas and knowledge

1. Lag/Latency from P2P connections 2. Frequent and pointless nerfs to weapons that never really needed a nerf. 3. People who constantly complain about a super, which gets them nerfed eventually. 4. Bungie actually listening to the complainers rather than the players who know what's good or what isn't good for the game. 5. Lack of communication. 6. Cut content..

Hey Destiny, are you an MMO? No. Oh, okay. Hey, I'm going to cut content from year 1 and/or make it irrelevant for a new year! What!? Why? Cause that's what MMOs do! (My reason as to why this game fails)

Lol "failure" tbh I've moved on to other games but if you call this franchise a failure you're not being honest with yourself.

rebooting the game 1 year out from release

The root of all evil

75% of the original team is working on Destiny 2

All the people who still play Destiny regularly. I mean, Destiny is a successful game. It has one of the most consistently high population numbers for a console game released more than a year ago, and if it is so "broken" like these forums make it out to be, than clearly those other players wouldn't still be playing Destiny. Except, that hasn't happened, because a forum only represents maybe 10% of a game's total playerbase, and therefore any attempt to boycott Bungie will be utterly futile.

I get that a lot of other online RPGS reset their top tier gear with each new expansion.. but honestly destiny required so much of a grind to get top gear and what not in year one that no one wanted to do it again in year two, especially when there are no huge dlcs coming out in year 2. Imo it makes it not worth it, though I've started back up for IB and the new event coming up
