I want to play this game for fun with others, not alone to get tilted.
Every time I have to play a Lost Sector because I don't have exotic XY unlocked or because a new exotic gets added with a DLC or season pass I get sick and close the game, simply because for some people running Lost Sectors IS NOT ENJOYABLE!
What is so hard to understand that for the team/coop-players of Destiny the new exotics should ALSO be unlock-able via Ordeal Nightfalls???
Pushing EVERY PLAYER OF THE GAME through a SOLO ACTIVITY to UNLOCK EXOTICS is not contributing to the game and its "friendship/social endgame"!
It makes not a single bit a difference if I, as a player, can unlock a new exotic via a Nightfall or a Solo Lost Sector. Solo Lost Sectors have no "playlist"-population problems as strikes, crucible and Trials can have. Solo Lost Sectors have to be completed solo, there is NO GAIN by forcing every other not-solo-player into that activity other than getting the exotics AND becoming potentially upset about the game itself.
Seriously, there is no reason to force all players to play Lost Sectors for exotics unlock, other than "so that people play it and we didn't waste development time and resources, duh".
I don't even want to imagine how BS this entire system must look like to the average and casual players that would like to try out those exotics, but are simply not good enough or patient enough to spent several runs just for the hope to get the right/new exotic...
Trials was reworked because it had an unhealthy design. Those Lost Sectors also have an unhealthy design. Potentially for every NOT Solo-Player of this game.
I miss when I could buy new exotics from Xûr or find them in Nightfalls while playing with friends like in Destiny 1. Jesus, Destiny 2 system there is so unfun.
