Look everyone. I know that there has been quite a bit of disappointing factors with Destiny 2, but honestly, I love this game right now. Yes I hear the majority of the fanbase saying [i]Destiny 2 has no end game material[/i], or [i]I can't believe that Bungie would lie to their fan base [/i], and [i]the token system is so stupid, Destiny 1 was way better[/i]. First of all Destiny 2 was not meant to be the same as Destiny 1. It was meant to have major changes. I actually enjoy the new token economy but so many stupid people are complaining just to have something to hate Bungie for. [b]This whole game is meant to be RNG![/b] If you don't get what you want from the tokens then grind again! I thought that you wanted a more hardcore type of game. And to you that are complaining about the Xp system, listen up. XP is not a simple situation. Bungie is giving you free Bright Engrams (a free currency that is normally [b]paid for[/b]) so of course they are going to experiment and have a system for getting this item you pay real money for. So the system isn't as accurate as they would have liked, and players are calling them out for lying to us. They likely were so busy bringing you new content and fixing your problems that they didn't have the time to check the statistics of something so small. It's not like they were purposely stealing our time and hoping that nobody would notice! Finally to address the lack of endgame material is Bungie is adding new DLCs just calm down and complete the super fun stuff you already have! I have had so many experiences with games that have been ruined just because of the community. I understand that your expectations with Destiny 2 have not been met, but complaining about it is just ruining the game for me and for new players. Please understand that Bungie won't be any more productive if you are leaving entire threads in the forums about complaining and leaving. If you actually want Destiny 2 to be a great game leave purely constructive criticism. It will help Bungie[b] fix their game[/b] instead of [b]discourage[/b] them.

[i]Throughout my post, when I say "we" or "us", I'll be referring to myself and my clanmates, not the larger community, because I have no desire to attempt to speak for people I don't know.[/i] The overwhelming sentiment among my clanmates is that we all enjoy various aspects of D2, but there's no reason to play D2 like we used to play D1, which was nearly every day, for hours at a time. PvP feels much more generic in D2. We miss our space magic. Static rolls make the game seem limited with a relatively small loot pool. There is no armor that functions differently, it's all just cosmetic differences. I personally feel like D2 is trying to be a jack of all trades (looter, FPS, RPG, open world) and because of that, can't really do any of them well. The same was true of D1, but D1 had random rolls and gear perks (looter), a better combination of weapons and abilities (FPS), and more skill tree variety (RPG). The open world and end game content will come, so I'll gladly be patient for that. Regarding the XP earning situation, I disagree with your assessment. There is no way that they didn't realize that the XP being given was different than what the players were being told they were earning. Something like that does not get past quality control / testing, nor is it a statistically small thing. If Bungie had been open and honest up front about how the system was implemented, the outcry, while not necessarily lessened, would've been much different. I would love for D2 to suck up as much time as D1 did, but I'm ok if it doesn't. I'm hopeful for the coming changes that will be discussed today, and I am really looking forward to CoO. I hope Bungie can work towards making D2 a great game, just like they did with D1.
