Just want to start by clarifying this isn't a dig, it isn't an attempt to remove a game mode you like, it isnt an attack on other players class/guns/activities. It is just how i feel about how the game is at the moment in the vague hope a mod can get this to someone in development. I've played Destiny from the Alpha and bought each DLC when it came out or on preorder, with the exception of Forsaken as i just wasn't enjoying it. Before Destiny id never really done PVP or raids. It introduced me to both and PVP is something ive grown to enjoy. Mostly. I find myself again feeling like im not supposed to be part of the community. Like my way of playing the game isn't part of Bungies 'vision'. Constantly feeling like im spending my time playing catchup either in power levels or weapons and not actually having fun. For me it started when raids became increasingly convoluted meaning teaching took ages. Then with leviathan you introduced the one revive mechanic. Meaning that im painfully aware im holding teams back when we have to keep wiping or watching some other blueberry going through the same. Generally speaking teams are amazing about it but its not fun knowing you're holding people up. PVP is now dead for me. I was logging on most days last season and doing bounties, i actually felt I was making progress going from a 1.3 to a 1.4/5. Even with autorifles everywhere. Then you've brought in CBMM and the fun has gone. Not once since the changeover have i felt anything. I realised when my missus pointed out id been playing for an hour and hadn't made a sound. You used to really want to get that guardian who keeps using cheap shots, get satisfaction from chasing someone down. All gone now. I hope the high tier players are enjoying it because im really not. Leveling up pointless things seems to be the seasonal objective and for the life of me I can't figure out why. I spent ages levelling up the Osiris stuff. Gone. Levelled up the bunkers, locked, because reasons. (You could have used them to track contact events by the way). Sunsetting weapons is understandable but really shouldn't include pinnacle weapons. Maybe to get Lunas wasn't a grind for some players but for me it was. I spent a couple of hours a week and finally got it. Knowing that i had tried to get it made it more fun to use and was looking forward to getting Not Forgotten at some point. Now it seems pointless. Like Bungie saying "hey you worked hard to get something but were bored of that now. But hey, heres another emote/finisher" Even with major burnout for season of the bounty I would still have been plugging away in PVP, trying to get Luna's Howl just for a personal achievement. But between sunsetting, skill based matchmaking and removal of AFK forge farms to get cores I just can't find the will to log on. Im sure there are plenty of players who are happy to grind bounties to get a slightly better role and relish spending hours replaying the same thing. I really hope that enough of the community follow Lukes 'vision' for the game. To keep it going. Its been a constant in my life for years now and wish it well. My concern is that he hasn't realised player feedback is more important than his vision. TLDR: A game i loved has changed into a chore for me and im bummed out.
