Bump. We expect them to learn as things go. They should repeat the things we enjoyed and they should not repeat their mistakes. TTK has done the exact opposite. Everyone loved in HoW how you could ascend any gear to the new cap because that created MORE options. NOBODY, even those who claim to support the decision to make Y1 gear obsolete, actually ENJOYS the fact that we had to leave Y1 gear behind. They should learn from the HoW era that they NEED to let us ascend Y1 gear. They also apparently learned in HoW that we loved our elemental primaries because they started giving them to us as random rewards for killing Skolas. Yet they took them away in Y2 without so much as a decent explanation why. We loved how the nightfall worked in Y1 and how the strikelists worked in general, but they cut that up, rehashed it, and now the strike playlist is like a Frankenstein monster. It's simply too repetitive and not rewarding enough to warrant playing anymore. Once you reach the endgame phase, that leaves essentially 2 options: PVP and the raid. PVP : We all know the complaints. Weapon imbalance, laggers, cheaters, etc. It seems like with every patch this just gets worse. Even with that in mind, I still enjoyed playing it now and then because I could play with the weapons I actually LIKE (Y1 weapons) rather than garbage Y2 weapons. But that is not even really true for my absolute FAVORITE weapon: Patience/Time. This weapon was by no means a PVP/PVE gamebreaker, yet it is STILL not in TTK. I can't even start to guess why as they have yet to explain how they pick and choose which exotics to bring forward. My guess? Dartboard. And that brings me to the raid. My first time through the raid was amazing. I found the jumping puzzles fun, figuring out the raid myself rather than having others teach it to me was a great experience. But after I beat the raid, when all was said and done, my team was burnt out on the game. We did what we set out to do. But the rewards from the raid simply do not match the efforts and we see no reason to continue grinding it out, as our gear will become obsolete AGAIN when the next installment of Destiny comes out. Why grind for 320? It makes no difference anymore, it takes WAY too much effort, and there's not enough reward there. I carved out my legend in Y1, I don't need to prove it again by completing a thankless raid over and over again in Y2 when I'm not enjoying my gaming experience anymore. And with Luke Smith or anyone that matters actively avoiding questions for people who actually play there game, I see no hope that this game will go in the right direction. All I see is that they're going to repeat the same mistakes they keep making, and they won't allow repetition of the things we like. I would end this rant with a typical "Guardian Down" message, but the fact is I still play about 1-2x a week when people ask me for help. But that's it. I log my gaming hours on other games that I actually enjoy playing. Until everyone else on my friendslist drops this game like the bad habit it is, this is pretty much going to be the pattern well into the future.
