It remains interesting to me how diverse the Destiny 2 player base is.

Or was, I guess. We've got PvPers and PvEers, and everything in between. We've got casuals and sweats, and everything in between. We've got elitists and the laid back, and everything in between. We've got collectors and the spartan, and everything in between. We've got puzzle platformers and fighters, and everything in between. We've got veterans and blueberries, and everything in between. And all of us are asking for different things. "There's too much loot!" "There's not too much loot enough!" "There's too much grinding!" "There's not enough grinding!" "The game is way too easy!" "The game is way too hard!" We see this somewhat in other games, Borderlands 4 comes to mind right now, there's been some discourse about whether Legendary (Exotic) drop rates are too low or just right in BL4, but it's nothing like what we see in Destiny 2. And, of course, objectivity is no help, because things like difficulty and "too much" or "too little" are largely subjective. There aren't that many objective things we can point to in D2; Unstable Cores being an absolute bear comes to mind, but there's not too much else (system-wise) we can all agree on. I'd hate to be the person at Bungie who's responsible for parsing community sentiment, it's like that Simpsons episode "So you want a grounded, off the wall comedy that deals with real life issues and has aliens." (This post is not in reference/response to anything, it's just me thinking out loud.)

  • Agree, and it doesn’t help that these groups are undefined, to some I’m a sweat for others I’m a casual, when I’m just a dad with a not too demanding 9-5 playing only D2 in his spare time. I’m probably gonna give that helmet a try though. I suspect this is to be expected on a 10 year old active game like D2, the population is very diverse between the veteran, the new lights, people with ton of gear… I still believe the main differentiating factor between the groups is knowing how build crafting works. This makes such a big difference on how one enjoys the game, but it’s not explains at all and left to guess work. So many people find the game harder than it is as a results (even though it’s crazy hard sometimes).
