Read the whole post, and I have to say, the guy was spot on.
Specifically about the loot, boring weapon choices, and the fact that Power level means absolutely nothing except that it gets you into the Raid or Nightfall.
The way they have the game perform the level matching, you never get to the point of feeling "powerful", as he said, you just feel "less weak". In Skyrim and Dark Souls as he mentioned, the enemies have an upper level cap that is set below what your character's power level cap can reach.
Thus; once you get past a certain level or point of personal power, you actually [i]FEEL[/i] powerful, as you start wading through the enemies like a minor deity. Struggling early on in those games, to be able to attain the real feeling of growth and power in the late-game, make the initial grind and struggle that much more palatable.
In Destiny 2, none of that exists. Power level means nothing when the enemies are scaled exactly along with your character, thus completely erasing the feeling of growth and personal power. It takes you exactly the same amount of time to kill a Yellow Bar in the EDZ at level 5 as it does at Power level 305, and that is due precisely to the enemies leveling you exactly match your power level.
If they had introduced even a modicum of power creep, and capped the enemies stat magnification at say... 250, then getting to 280, 300, or 305 would actually mean something.
As it stands currently, once you hit 260 Light (Power... whatever), there's zero reason to grind past that, as you'll feel no different at 305 than you did at 200, 225, or 260. That makes for a boring slog of Horizontal Character Progression rather than Upward Character Progression, that makes a Player [i]FEEL[/i] as if they're growing their Legend, and thus moving forward through the game.
I won't go into a whole dissertation here, as the author on Reddit very well captured everything I could say about the game.
A well done post, and my most sincere hope is that Bungie is listening.
Sadly, with Bungie's history, I fear that his wonderful post is going to fall on deaf ears...

I'm not? It just so happens that he said what I would have said in a post of my own had I authored one. Last I checked, that only makes me in complete agreement with the author. How that makes me "sheep", I'm not sure. Maybe you think it's somehow now bad to actually agree with someone? Or are you one of the trolls who can't fathom how to cope with a dissenting opinion from your own?
