That's what I'm talking about. This could very easily become the golden era of Destiny 2 or Destiny in general. Now that there won't be any new doodads to chase or firsts to get after June, we can finally have the chance as a community to slow down and be reasonable again. With no new carrots to chase we can finally reach back and pull some people forward instead of being constantly distracted and hurried all the time. Now's the time for guardians to step up and refocus on the rest of the community that has been left behind over the years. We can make this community stronger than ever and make it WORTHY of a sequel. We could be looking at the best years of Destiny yet. If you're a veteran guardian and your bored, then sherpa runs are an experience you'll never forget. They are challenging but even if you don't finish it's a community experience that you can give to others that's unforgettable.

Get off my lawn you kinderguardians

Granddad signing in lol, not yet (but old enough & 3 adult daughters, so soon).... This is what bungie meant about an aging playerbase who stopped spending - there's a huge amount of us who play this game, who just enjoy doing everything but endgame, who usually play alone & are happy doing so. We are the people bungie kicked to the kerb from lightfall onwards, difficulty everywhere, forced needing teams for most things, that led into solo planets & that led into them not even having patrols or bounties. They took away the routines of people over 40 who had the old mentality of buy game & play until the next game comes around (in this case, expansion) - we don't spend enough, or rather have more common sense than to waste money on shiny nonsense. Well done you, you'll both remember it & will have an awesome time, he's in for a treat 👏

This old tortoise just pootles about the place…catching up on unfinished quests, triumphs and seals…been doing that since I returned from WarFrame (MR24 😎) after my exit after the Sunset debacle….iykyk 🤔 Since Lightfail and the ramping-up of difficulty levels, gatekeeping, throttling, timers, and the Neomuna Overtuna (N.O.) vibe…Casuals voted with their feet…again…and player numbers withered on the vine. The Few who screamed the loudest for harder / faster / more difficult stuff…are probably playing Marathon and loving it…and have abandoned Destiny altogether. Not all…but more than a few! Those Streamers who shed crocodile tears about the announcement about the end of D2 Support by Sony…most of whom had already bounced, and spread out to different games, were simply jumping on the ‘boo-hoo bandwagon’ to get clicks and likes…🧐 Watch the vid by Terror…he nailed it! 👈 For the rest of us loyal and long-suffering Guardians, we simply carried on…pootling about, doing the simple stuff, as usual. I reckon there’s a greater number of Casual players who play and enjoy the game…just like your Grandfather does…many with little ninjas to help with the tricky stuff…just like this old tortoise has with my own secret ninja who ain’t so little these days! 😁 Right…river cried…hopium puffed…come what may, eyes up, Guardians! 👍 That is all. Play Fair! Play Nice! Play for Fun! 👈 Murphy, my ghost, 👻 sends warm fuzzies to all the worker bees who’ve made Destiny possible since way back…and is sorry that the C Suite rats threw y’all under the bus, too…just like us. And a special thanks to all ‘little’ Ninjas everywhere! You know who you are…GGs 🫠 Ease Springs! 🫡 [b][i]GO EASY ON MARATHON PLAYERS…IT’S JUST A GAME![/i][/b]

Really hope people keep playing, because I definitely plan to.

Sounds like me, but I don't do raids anymore, because the experience became...how quickly can we get this done. Where as I'm like the gramps, I want to admire the beauty of the world they built, understand the reality they built, understand the engine. You're a rare and awesome Guardian.

Pft rookie numbers. come back when he's got the inner chamber emblem.
