The grind is not fun. Its work
This has almost certainly been said before but I just wanted to lay down a bit of a rant myself.
I am going to form this as a Q&A from my experience from day one of destiny 2.
Q:Why does gear that is not "powerful" drop around 25 power levels lower than my current level?
A: To make sure you have to grind for enhancement cores to use all of your loot.
Q: Why do i need enhancement cores to infuse AND to masterwork my gear?
A: To make sure you have a mindless grind no matter what you are doing.
Q: What happened to faction rallies?
A: What that?
Q: why are their so many AFK exploiters in gambit and crucible?
A: We create pursuit and bounty objectives that reward that kind of exploitation.
Q: why is their still no match making for raids or nightfall?
A: we like to make it overly complicated to play without setting a schedule. (IE we want the grind for gear to be a job not a game)
Q: why does xur still not sell new gear?
A: Who is xur?
Q: how come your loot tables are so messed up that edge transit became a meme?
A: We fixed that... but your still gonna get a plethora of other dupes no matter what you do. we just don't really care about our loot tables that much.
Q: is pvp the only reason most people still play?
A: 100% that's all we care about. we made halo!
I know some of these are just me complaining and I am sure some folks will just throw childish insults at me, but this game Is just not fun for a solo player at all. There is no reason to play strikes the loot sucks. there is no reason to cue crucible, half of the time both teams have an afk bot of some kind or full 4 man squad against my 4 Rando Calrissian squad. Lost sectors are a joke sold as a new feature at launch. And instead of fixing factions or making them meaningful Bungie just kinda threw them out.
Destiny 1 ate my brain for almost 3 years. I couldn't get enough, the strike playlist was my go to for after work relaxing. Destiny 2 however has me burned out by the grind, and the endlessly punishing (and repetitive) loot table. (my last 4 exotics were knucklehead and they were each about 3 weeks apart)
At any rate, I will see y'all when penumbra drops. Until then destiny 2 is getting shelved.

[/quote] A: It drops so when you dismantle, you have either Glimmer, Legendary shards and weapon/armor parts that can be used for either infusion, turn them in for packages or MODs. [quote] Q: Why do I need enhancement cores to infuse AND to masterwork my gear? [/quote] A: So you make meaningful choices, and it gives a psychological sense of saving in case "More powerful gear shows up" [quote]Q: What happened to faction rallies? [/quote] A: Currently all Faction rallies are currently on hold, as Bungie is trying to find a system in which better signifies a fun and challenging activity that all guardians can enjoy. As from previous Faction rallies with had some mix reviews and complains especially with seasons 3 and 4. [quote] Q: why are their so many AFK exploiters in gambit and crucible? [/quote] A: The issue with Guardians going AFK in Gambit, Crucible, and the Forges is because they feel the need to let their teammates do all the work while they would reap the benefits, and currently there is an algorithm at work in which is trying to detect most if not all AFK guardians, but it does help if Guardians are able to use the reporting system, as it would make it much easier get to those Guardians. [quote] Q: why is there still no matchmaking for raids or nightfall? [/quote] A: There is a beta for matchmaking for both Raids and Nightfalls. Have you by any chance tried using it? It was implemented to help clans show and communicate with new Guardians and to be able to scout them to their clan. If you are asking about actual matchmaking here is an example of a possible issue that may come up. You and your group of random Guardians are midway in the raid, for either a disconnect or player/s leaves the raid team. A Guardian/s fills in the spot for the missing guardian/s but realizes that instead of a fresh raid he/she/stack is in the middle of your group's raid encounter, they would in which you would probably have to wait for other Guardian/s to join. There may also be Guardians AFK while matchmaking. There is also the issue of kicking Guardians of the Fireteam sense there is no fireteam leader in a matchmaking raid, there is no possible way to kick them out that would cause problems since matchmaking may take too long, Guardians may ragequit or no experience Guardians may join in. That is some of the issues Guardians may run in a matchmaking Raid or Nightfall, it is best if you or your Fireteam leader has some power when searching for other Guardians to join. [quote] Q: why does Xur still not sell new gear? [/quote] A: The reason as to why Xur is not selling new gear is because of some feedback from Guardians regarding that they did not enjoy the vendor since it defeated the purpose of getting exotic gear. Since Bungie started to receive more feedback they are currently working ways into implementing quest/bounties with Xur, in a way that he becomes more relevant. [quote] Q: how come your loot tables are so messed up that edge transit became a meme?[/quote] A: There was an issue with the algorithm, but it has been fixed. [quote] Q: is PvP the only reason most people still play? [/quote] A: No, people still play PvE and the PvEvP(Gambit) I do not work for [b][i]Activison-Blizzard[/i][/b] or am I a [i][b]Bungie employee[/b][/i], just a complete stranger.
