    I don't miss it, per se, but I do wish we didn't have to have vaulting. I think I understand the need for it, at least cursorily. Bungie just can't support the whole shebang within the framework they've created for themselves. It's just too time and labour intensive. It's kind of a shame, but it is what it is. I guess we're lucky they can keep the thing running long enough to get to the end of the main story. I know. That sounds like an apologist talking. If you look at the history of my posts, you'll see I'm no apologist for Bungie. I'm just a realist at this point. This is not the game I want it to be. It's not the game I thought it would be. And it certainly doesn't look like it was managed the way I thought it might have been. But here we are. So are there things I miss? I miss some of the D1 raids, or rather, I miss the fun I had raiding in D1. The raids were challenging, and the people I was running with were competent, helpful, and generally friendly, and there were a lot of different groups of people I ran with. In D2, there seems to be much less room for error, much narrower build tolerance, and this makes the people seem wound tighter than they were in D1, which I totally understand. No one (or precious few) has the time to spend spinning wheels. There's far too much to grind to be doing that. And many of those willing to spin wheels are those who simply DKWTD or have loadouts that will not work and, therefore, can't do much else. Kudos to those sherpas who take the time to teach. I used to be like that. I don't have time, anymore, with work, family, and hockey obligations. The other thing I miss, and maybe we never had it, but it felt like we did, is a Bungie that respected our time and effort. Everything in the game now seems geared to those who play for a living or can (and often do) spend at least 20 hours per week in game, often as much as 40 to 60 hours. I used to be one of those people. As I mentioned above, I just don't have that luxury anymore. And because I don't, I rarely log in anymore because I know I won't have time to do much meaningful in the game, especially as we approach end of season when even the story lines get harder to complete. I miss the days when I could log in and get a couple of things done in a few hours and feel like I accomplished something. I can still log in for a few hours and get some things done, but it now feels like I have barely advanced, if at all. So the game becomes a negative feedback loop for me. I don't feel like I can advance much, so I don't log in, and because I don't log in, I'm not advancing much. So I just look at the game tile on my home screen and decide to go with ESO, or Starfield, or play Minecraft or It Takes Two with my children. Gods help me, one of them just saw Goat Simulator 3 has been released. I really miss the feeling of being at work but can't wait to get home and spin up Desitny. That never happens anymore. Unless I'm on these boards, Destiny almost never crosses my mind throughout the day. As a person who's spent thousands of hours in game (and not just a couple thousand), that should ring alarm bells for Bungie. So the places are not as missed as much as the feeling I would get from playing them with the people I enjoyed running with and the ways we used to engage with and in the game. I miss that game, Bungie. I hope you can bring that back. Unvault all you wish. Reintroduce whatever content you have. But find a way to unvault that feeling.
