so here's my "why i left" answer bungie wanted
before i start, i would like to say that i have been playing since d1 day 1. now obviously it isnt the same game anymore and there is no more fun to be had. and just because iv been playing for a long time dont mean that my opinions are the only thing that matters. i think i figured out why i wont be playing anymore
there is no story. the lore is great, but i didn't buy a video game to read now did i? and what little story there is, its stretched out into ridiculous 1 mission a week now (if any at all.) the main dlc's had most of the story but all they ever do is introduce cool ideas, and leave them there never to touch it again, to a completely different universe, with a different big bady, that is barely connected if at all, and here lately, the only connection they have i cant remember because it was so boring. it misses the mark in every box.switching to seasons was one of the biggest downfalls.
free to play, while great for most MMO's, it wont work here. everybody knows destiny is the most popular when new dlc's drop. but nobody cares anymore, since your seasonal model is so baren and un-interesting. not to mention all new light players are immediately confused on what the hell is going on. f2p came out half baked. plain and simple.
pvp has always been a gimmick to me. nothing against the best of the best, but how can you take the game into a "competitive" scene if its still peer to peer? not to mention thanks to f2p there are cheaters in every single lobby. AND IM NOT EVEN GOOD! i freaking suck!
pve has suffered a lot. whats the point? the new best thing is just the same old things reskinned... nothing new. any builds you can come up with is just straight up over kill for all the enemies, or just freaking dumb. boss stomp still is a thing. constant nerfs to everything to the point i dont even care anymore. no new strikes since shadowkeep and it had what? 2? in an entire year? cool! where is the difficulty option we had in d1 for literally everything? i miss being able to choose how hard a story mission is, or maybe a hardmode patrol area?
loot. its all the same, sure sunsetting is coming and people defend it, but the reality is, nothing will make me care about a reskin of a reskin, of a gun i once had, then had nerfed, sunset, then forced to regrind. nothing new or interesting just more of the same.
overall, this game cant deliver what i wanted it to be. its happy being mediocre. and thats ok, but when a dev team thinks i want to play destiny 2 on my phone using stadia... i know its been to long since they actually played a game, only ever make them. in between mtx's and marketing. bugs/glitches, lack of foresight, and no singular direction for them game has truly killed the game for me.
if any of these changes are addressed and fixed. i might hop in, but i will never buy the seasons, il just use the f2p version, that honestly i feel most people do. and its hurting bungie, and bad.
anyways, maybe some of you guys can relate, and im sure people will call this -blam!- and moaning. but im not gonna answer bungies stupid questionnaire on why i left, since theres too much to be said.
i hope everything works out for you guys. but i play games for fun, not as a job, i know shocker.
peace out!

Edited by Discovery: 5/29/2020 6:47:14 AMI'm with you. I feel the lack of campaign is the main issue. Bungie is not moving the story forward in a direction. There are lores but how many get all lores, reads and remembers them? Sell the lore as a e-book, but this is an action game. The end-game is just plain grinding, grinding, grinding of reskinned events. Horde event after horde event. The sunsetting is a lame excuse. It is Bungies way of selling the same things again to the players, forcing re-grind. It will be the same stuff we previously had, with some different textures on the 3D models. It is not new content, it is just more or less a cosmetic change that will not do any good to the game nor the players. It will however - irritate the large playerbase even more. I wish Destiny would have more content, more story, more exploration, more in-game videos of the main characters. I enjoyed the exploration, looking around the corner, feeling a progression in rewards as well as story, it felt I got better, and I got rewarded for it. But everything is now forced on mods, horde modes, killing other guardians, and time limit events. I think the spirit of the game left long ago, the Seasonal model was just the last long nail in the coffin. We are just stomping on the same grounds, doing the same things in the game every season. I do not feel rewarded doing the same horde mode activity day in and day out, the enemies awaiting in the same place every day. All there is, is chasing a higher number. How fun is that when you've done it 1000000 times? I respect those who feel different about the game, there are players chasing the best roll, the best mod combinations, having fun with long-time friends doing Raids etc. I'm a casual player, though, and for me it is not much left in the game that I used to enjoy, and I played D1 from Day 1.
