It's not even that that's the issue for me tbh, although I do personally think gamers should be allowed to play at their own pace and not have their progression dictated by a button push at bungie HQ. It's just being up front about it. Don't give us step 1 on a quest chain and then hide step 2 behind a time gate, without making it clear that it's a time gate. It's saying "you were on the right path, you got to the right place, followed all the right steps, but no, nothing has happened. You can go fruitlessly look elsewhere until we say so." They even went as far as to tease people with FAKE clues for SS, when they all knew there was no way we could obtain it. How backwards is that?! Encouraging people to work to uncover things that aren't there. I personally couldn't care less if everyone found all the secrets day one, but bungie should have put more effort into keeping them secret in a fair way. All the old halo Easter eggs are pretty solid proof Bungie knows how to keep things secret, they're applying none of that here, though.
