The game design isn't poor, it's just the recycling that's the problem; the game is a massive place with lots to do just little to no motivation to do it, they take events like this and as there is little to no comment on the event the previous year they continue with the exact same format and style that they believe we like. The game has potential seems to touch it here and there but never truly fulfils it; they are so many issues in the game and they just seem to be brushed over: Sandbox separation; loot incentives; difficulty; meta balancing; exotics not feeling exotic; abuse > skill. I would say the classic "wait for next season, it might be better" - but never seems to hit the spot. It's sad that the game could be so much more, and is a shame that for the most part we are given the same talk each year of a better environment with better incentive and loot. Starting to get tired as well of all the constant mistakes and let downs, hopefully you find a game that can satisfy.
