Destiny is DESIGNED to burn us out

Edit: Should have added that I had just come back from a 6 month or so break from the game. I had been playing for 2-3 weeks when I made this post. So no more "or just play other games" replies thanks "Wait for weekly reset to get more powerful rewards" we tell the new players who we finally convinced to try Destiny. "We might be able to finally play the new Dungeon next week!". It's like this system is designed ON PURPOSE to burn us out before we actually get to the fun parts we keep telling our non-Destiny fan friends about to convince them to play. How many strikes do I have to replay to play new content with my friends? And when we finally get to power 1000 (soft cap), progress grinds to a halt?? For what reason? We are limited to powerful rewards only? Why? Why is there a softcap? Leveling is not content! I'm lucky I enjoy Crucible. Even tho I hate it at the same time, it offers a kind of replayability that I need in this game. If it weren't so costly to mess with armor mods and builds earlier, grinding old content wouldn't be quite as bad. Constantly swapping armor around as you level to avoid spending resources on infusion means it's a total waste to have fun with mods and builds early on. By the time a lot of us are at the point where it's safe to start modding, we're already feeling burnt out from trying to increase the stupid number next to our name. There's nothing like doing 3 weekly strikes by yourself because your friends aren't online, only for them to come online a bit later and want to do their 3 strikes. I am happy to help but IMAGINE if there was a benefit to helping? I am 1060 now so I need pinnacle rewards. Prime Engrams don't do anything. If replaying these activities with friends who still needed to do their powerful reward stuff provided some kind of reward that was ALWAYS worth your time... That would be great. I can already feel a vibe among my group of friends that they are getting sick of the game. We're tired of it. Me and a friend two manned our way to the boss of Prophecy but we couldn't beat it. Two weeks later we are STILL waiting for our friend to be high enough level. We don't want to LFG, we want to do it together. This sucks.

    I personally think the game is in a good spot right now. You don't have to grind so hard. Just play the game for 2-3 hours a day. You will still have plenty of time to get to max season pass level and beat Prophecy at the appropriate power level. Currently, you have many ways to get rewarded for doing the activities YOU find fun. Escalation Protocol, Gambit, PvP, Dungeons, Contact, Nightfall, Raids, and an engram system that let's you influence the gear you earn. Seasons are not made to be maxed out after one month. You can certainly do that but you will burn yourself out. The purpose of the seasonal model is to hop on for a bit, play what you want to play and slowly increase your power to beat Prophecy while doing Contact in between, getting a weekly lore mission, and grinding out rolls. You can pretty much get showered in Umbral Engrams as soon as you hope on after weekly reset and get massive seasonal pass progress from the well rested buff. People need to stop playing Destiny 2 like the lives of their families are at gunpoint and depend on it.
