I've loved Destiny since it came to PC back in 2017. Some of my best memories in gaming can be attributed to this game. I however cannot recommend this game in good conscious. Several years of very poor game design decisions have led bungie down a horrible path putting it in the worst state since vanilla D2.

Bungie has consistently catered to casuals that play the game for 1hr a week (if that) because they are the vocal majority unfortunately. Due to this, any time the game gets challenging things get immediately nerfed. Day 1 raids which used to be an achievement are like sub 2 hour events just so that bungie can make more money selling raid jackets and off twitch rivals viewership.

Loot is now meaningless. Crafting was introduced in witch queen and is one of the worst things bungie has done to the game. There is no loot pursuit anymore. Instead you login for 30mins a week, get your guaranteed red border, and log off until you hit 5/5. Did you get some loot along the way? Just shard it because you'll just craft it later.

Despite all the glaring problems and community unrest, Bungie will not acknowledge the issues. Instead they try to sell merch for the latest social issue they want to parrot while pretending the game is fine.

In catering to the casual base to an overwhelming degree, Bungie have forgotten who their core base is. Lightfall and the last two seasons have seen almost my entire friends list (mostly the hardcore crown consisting of Top 100 raid teams) quit the game entirely.

The only way things will get better is if we all stop playing. I was once VERY vocal and passionate about the issues facing the game over the years. Now I am at a place of apathy...I just dont care.

I hope the recent outcry from the community is a wake up call for bungie. I want the game to return to it's former self but I am doubtful that will ever happen again. Until then I recommend everyone else spend their time and money on other games.

STAY AWAY FROM DESTINY 2
