SO a few years ago on a planet far far away, Neptune, Bungie said they were going to make the game harder, more build dependent. Dev s laughed that they hoped player would cry over how hard the game was being made. That same year sales and profits fell so much in the third quarter they laid off 100 devs, delayed release of the next expansion. Which was harder yet, with more devs being reassigned in Sony with fewer devs to design and implement the next expansion, EOF. Now the hardest yet to be released sees even fewer players and sales of the expansion. I would imagine fewer profits with player numbers down that has to be less spending. Bungie wants the game designed to be harder, because a few years ago they caved to the streamers and hardcore elite players who said quite frequently that the game was TOO EASY. Now even they are reaping a reward for stupidity of not recognizing that easy for you is hard for someone else and impossible for others. It takes all skill levels to make a game like this truly successful Bungie lost sight of this for whatever reason. The game need players like me to, average to purchase expansion and periodically make purchases in the store. Without us the "expected revenue", profit, is not where stock holders want, expect, even demand them. TLDR: To hard for average players and many of us bailed!
