[b]Weapons:[/b] There are new items that have some character: Touch of Malice, Black Spindle, Sleeper Stimulant. Nothing as overpowering as Gjallarhorn, but then again many players didn't even experience that until last few weeks of Y1. Hand cannons are still effective. They're just more situational now. I personally see that as an improvement. You shouldn't be able to snipe with a hand cannon. [b]Lvl 34-40:[/b] While I don't disagree levels have little meaning, it's not as if it takes anything away from the game. It's simply irrelevant (other than allowing you to wear higher light level gear) and as such has little impact, good or bad. [b]Sense of progression and old content[/b]: Every game with mmorpg elements has a cycle where gear becomes obsolete. You progress from old gear to new gear. [b]Time Gated Items:[/b] I can kind of see your point there, but it's not as if it never comes up on a weekend. You play less, then you have less opportunities. They could probably improve that a bit while still keeping the sense of a "special event". [b]Still no LFG system:[/b] If you have to spend hours visiting Facebook, Bungie.net, DestinyLFG or other 3rd party LFG sites getting a group together, that's on YOU. It's never taken me more than 10 minutes to find a raid team on destinylfg.com. Now, finding a GOOD team is another story, but matchmaking would not guarantee you a good fireteam either. Frankly I don't WANT matchmaking for raids. [b]Rewards:[/b] I will agree with you 100% on this. I have 5 gauntlets on 1 char. They stated this wouldn't happen. Well...... Also, went through and finished Hard Mode, and did not get 1 drop to help my character. 1 308 piece of gear and a bunch of shards. That's a lot of effort for absolutely no gear reward. [b]Microtransactions::[/b] [u]Dumbest. Arguement. Ever.[/u] Don't like them? Don't buy them. They have no bearing on your ability to play the game. [b]Iron Banner:[/b] A reasonable observation. I'm not sure of the point either, other than some unique gear that has to be levelled up. [b]The addiction:[/b] Stop whining. Addiction to anything is not a good thing. Having a reason to spend more time with your family is a GOOD thing rather than something to complain about. EDIT: It's funny how many people are apparently offended by: 1. Expressing a reasonable opinion AND giving a reason for that opinion (and actually agreeing with several of the OP's points). 2. Stating an addiction is NOT good. 3. Stating having family time IS good. Never realized there were so many emotionally damaged people on these forums.....
