Screen Shake....more like Screen Earthquake

As we all know we got Flinch = your Guardian got hit by something which makes you yerk back from the impact. Its a Gameplay Mechanism and not what im going to talk about. Im talking about the purely cosmetic Screen Shake. Examples are Explosions, Cabal Pods landing, Enemies dying in a dramatic Animation, bigger caliber hitting the ground (these stationary vex eyes come to mind) but nothing that actively damages the player and would be considered gameplay mechanics. It is combined with a nausea inducing shaking of the screen. It is heavily disorientating and if you have more than one, or worse combined with flinch the screen is shaking so heavily for so long that im losing the entire focus of my screen i have to look away and this usually means im going to get killed. I recognize this issue more and more with turning older. Back when Destiny 2 came out i was in my Mid 20s now its almost 10 years later and let me tell you that makes a difference. If i am running Strikes or any Group related Content i have to take a break after every run or i would get headaches, feel nauseous, churning stomach, disorientated. And no flashing lights are not a problem for me, i play plenty of other games with lot of flash like effects without the heavy screenshaking and im completely fine. Therefore im here, on my knees. Literally BEGGING! Please give us the Option to disable Screen Shaking or at least lessen it by a substantial amount.

    Yeah, that makes no sense at all. I'm 51 and extremely prone to motion sickness. My eyes are slow to focus and I find the screen shake to be annoying, but not overly so. (A good example is when a warsat drops). However, I never feel nauseous or disoriented because of it. Not in D2 or D1 even though so many other games do cause those symptoms for me. If you are only in your 30s and this is slowly getting worse for you then I don't care what your checkup said. Something is not right with you. Having said that, in no way would I object to getting rid of that crap. It doesn't add anything to QoL to have that shaking going on.
