[quote] [b]Weapons:[/b] You took away our favourite weapons from Y1. Fatebringer, Icebreaker, Black hammer and Gjallarhorn and gave us no choice of ascending the gear we have grown into. Instead, you gave us a bunch of new weapons that dont feel as powerful as Y1 weapons even remotely. You murdered Hand cannons and gave us Hand Cannon lovers no way of practising our trade. I personally have not found a set of new weapons I would feel home at. [/quote] Do you honestly want to be playing with the same damn weapons 3 years from now? Really? This is one of the best things Bungie did, although i think they could've made all the DLC weapons a Y2 version off the bat. A Queensbreaker Bow would have been fun to use a little longer. [quote][b]Sense of progression and old content:[/b] None! All the gear we have grinded was swept useless in a single blow! Bungie does it periodically to keep players grinding for gear. But for what? I dont see the carrot grinding items anymore. After the items have swept clean from our pockets, the old content get rendered useless. The game gets an "expansion" But actually gets shrinked.[/quote] Tied to above: no one wants to be playing with and using the same gear 2 years later. Expand your horizons and try something new. And if you really want to use that older gear and weapons, do it in the cruciable or throw it on and go do the older content. Every single other game on the market does this exact thing. No one in WOW is still wearing the same gear they had During the Burning Crusade, and Black Ops 2 weapons are not available in the current release, why would they be here....? [quote] [b]Still no LFG system:[/b] As I said, I dont have time to spend hours visiting Facebook, Bungie.net, DestinyLFG or any other 3rd party LFG site to get a team together I have no proof of how it will perform in the raid. I have like 50 PSN friends on my list and that gets me a 1 raid per 2 weeks if I try really hard. Mainly because my working times are concidered to be different from normal in my country. [b]Rewards:[/b] Last time I played, I was with a struggling with a team on Oryx. We played 4,5 hours and stopped on Daughters as the team scattered. 2 hours of putting the people together, 4,5 hours of raiding. Thats 6,5 hours of effort.. What was my rewards you may ask? 304 boots and a bunch of shards. RNG system can be so cruel and Bungie claimed they have improved it. Raid drops in general are pretty bad compared what we had in the previous raids. Raiding should be rewarding experience.[/quote] If you have 50 friends on your list and spend 2 hours on LFG and still havn't beaten Oryx then you need to add me and our crew, we will WALK you through it. You are either full of it, or have the worst luck on the interwebs. On 2 characters I had a group with LFG within 10 minutes of logging in, and I have a ton of friends who do the same thing. [quote][b]Microtransactions:[/b] This was just a last nail in the coffin for me. I always have been against games that try and pry more money out of their product by making the player addicted and then starting to cash that addiction in. In response Bungie havent announced anything about the next DLC. There are too much rumors going around. Will it be free? And if its free? Is it going to be cheap like free products are?[/quote] Simple solution: don't like them, don't buy them, and if things change then cross that bridge when it comes up, no point freaking out over speculation. [quote][b]The addiction:[/b] From launch to TTK, I played every single day. And when I didnt play, I would pop up the destiny app and see what the forums had to say about daily missions or would they have a new cheese for the lamp section at crota. In general I had to drop a lot of activities to make time for my beloved new hobby, Destiny. [/quote] In one section you talk about being a Dad and not having time to play Destiny or spend it learning the raid but here you talk about addiction and how much you played..... not sure whats up but here is some advice: If you don't like it, put down the controller and walk away, it's a game and meant for entertainment. If you are no longer getting that entertainment then it's a pretty obvious what to do. I find it tough to believe a lot of what you are saying, looks more like saltiness boiling over and a re-hashing of every complaint that people have had over the last 3 months. My Thoughts: I too am done with Destiny, for the moment(Fallout 4 at 10 pm tonight!!!!). I hate the time gated stuff and the grind but I managed to get a NTTE, a Sleeper, a First Curse and Black Spindle, plus finish the raid playing late nights with a group of other fathers. I hit 305 light on one of my toons finally and am prtetty happy reaching that point. I have a toddler at home as well and feel your pain with finding groups but I just can't believe you spend 2 hours LFG only to spend 4.5 wiping, like I said, send me a message and we will run you through it. I hope to meet you and you can prove me wrong.
