Disclaimer- this is not an attention seeking post. I post this in hopes that my feedback gets seen and is considered by Bungie, because my opinions are shared. There are people leaving this game. Here are my reasons. I already know I have a 0.0101010101 chance of this post being considered, but it's for the record.

This is [b]FEEDBACK[/b] for you People that don't know what it is here is the definition:
Feedback- helpful information or criticism that is given to someone to say what can be done to improve a performance, product, etc.
Here's the reasons why I switched from Destiny to Battlefield 1. I've never been lagging or DDOSing cause of the dedicated servers. Also, with smooth gameplay and true gun skill- it's a game with a skill gap. Btw, they don't nerf anything. To add to this, snipers can be spotted and taken out- yet when a skilled sniper comes along, all credits due. Shotguns in battlefield would make Destiny players cry nerf all the time- oh no, a shotgun that fires at its true range. To add to this, the graphics are amazing- maps are huge for multiple styles of play. And oh -- 38 vs 38! A true war! Destiny lost me after their recent update. They made sure 390-400 will be even more struggle as if there wasn't one already. They capped factions- making patrols, bounties, and strikes useless. Also, the micro transactions are ridiculous. I'm done with Destiny- I'm not getting Destiny 2 considering they will break their promise that "Your guardian will always be with you- 10 year plan" has been scrapped to feed the streamers and PC crowd- ignoring their dedicated players. They want to throw away our 3 years of gaming away. Bungie with Activision has proven money is more important than a quality game. Still no dedicated servers, stupid graphics, and terrible gameplay. To add to this- people get banned so easily for name calling and public shaming of cheaters- BUT OH the cheaters and elitist streamers who love to belittle others don't get any warning. They get to continue, and BUNGIE LISTENS TO THEM because they give free publicity. How cheap. They only listen to streamers!
But you can get 400 drops!
But where can I get 400 drops outside the raid and doing 5 hours of strikes? Oh and trials bounties drop 390 gear. It's all capped. I believe since they did that, they should also cap crucible drops (as crucible isn't end game except Trials). There's no legit reason to cap vanguard and crucible rep and faction drops at 390. Also the exotics I've farmed recently are decrypting at my light or below, making that stupid -blam!- to grind. Archons forge helped, but only with the ghost and artifact. The ARMOR and weapon drops only go up to 385. I already have good rolls on rep guns I like- so seriously no reason to rank up anything anymore for me- unless they get rid of the cap. Don't get me started with "use LFG to find a raid group" because 1) When I find a group and I don't have the hard mode emblem, I'm kicked. 2) When I make a group, and it doesn't go the way they wanted it (30 minutes or less lol) they quit mid raid and it starts a chain of quitting. So LFG is out of the question for me. Trials? I love it, I just don't wanna sweat like yah forever on the weekend. Destiny ripped 3/4ths of the methods to level up and are forcing us to pay streamers for flawless, pay streamers for DDOS

(it's a known issue), pay sherpas to help with the raid. Literally no reason to keep a solo player. To add to this, they nerf everything that becomes useful.
Btw, my skeleton key drop rate for 1 week now is 1/30 strikes. Exotic drop rate for 1 week now is 1/25 3oC. Not worth my time anymore cause Bungivision wants money and doesn't want us to "make our own destiny."
Edit 1:
Wow trending. I'm happy I made points we can agree on! Thanks for the support from 90% of you, to the 10% that wants to take a stab at me- do your best. I get really into logical arguments with you. I like to dissect your immaturity word for word.
Edit 2:
To the people who think that this is still an attention seeking post- well every post in the FEEDBACK forum must be... your logic is flawed. I'm stating my last criticisms before I go.

[quote]Why I didn't purchase RoI and am quitting Destiny soon -
My account has 2,000+ hours played, so I have enough experience to offer the opinions below
- I’m a pve first player. Destiny’s focus is obviously on pvp. RoI didn’t offer enough new pve content
- The sandbox team at Bungie hasn’t figured out how to balance weapons after two+ years
- Instead of making gradual adjustments and assessing the results, whenever a weapon is overused, it is nerfed to the point of uselessness
- The pvp nerfs are pushed without regard to their effect on pve
- Crucible is broken and mostly a miserably frustrating experience due to the matchmaking system, lag, red bar warriors, nerfs, etc.
- The rng loot system hooked me, but eventually pushed me away from the game
- Rng is weighted per player account. Not all accounts are weighted the same
- The loot drops are stuck in cycles on individual player accounts
- Smart loot either doesn’t work or doesn’t exist
- Let’s be honest, video games are a waste of time. That said, you don’t want to feel like you are wasting your time while playing. The loot system creates this feeling in game
- Microtransactions that are subject to rng. Holiday events are pathetic cash grabs
- Last, but not least, the developers allowed an entire year pass without fixing the bugged vanguard, crucible and faction package drops. This is inexcusable. The developers either couldn’t figure out the problem or didn’t care to fix it. I don’t want to grind for drops in year three that may not be possible on my account.[/quote]
[b][u]NEW FOR D2[/u][/b]
Wow this post became relevant again. I have played daily for my break so far.... After the honeymoon phase I am already bored and pissed that Bungie will not listen to their community.
Looks Like this guy will go to Anthem. And when I do, I shall delete my characters and uninstall. Thanks bungo.

I don't agree with everything, but I certainly agree with the Faction Package complaint. It really doesn't make any sense. Every single one of my good friends have quit Destiny. I don't have a raid team. I don't want to LFG a raid team. So I don't think I'll be doing the raid. I had no idea that Trials was capped at 390. That is amazingly stupid. I was going to dip my toe in the pool of Trials this weekend, but now, what's the point? Why put myself through that if it's capped at 390? That's insane! However, I won't pretend that I'll leave. I tried already. I was gone for about 3 months. RoI sucked me back in. But this horrible loot system is pushing me back out. I just purchased Battlefield 1 today. I think I'll play that until the next IB.
-
"Battle field gun skill" Hah funny.
-
I typically find these "Goodbye Cruel Game" posts annoying.....but you're right. 1. Destiny is at its worst when Bungie starts trying to micromanage people's progression through the game. They still refuse to accept the wisdom of Blizzard's notion that you can't use the loot system to manipulate people into staying with the game. If you frustrate their progression... then they just wind up leaving mad...rather than staying. Or leaving happy and willing to come back later. 2. The Crucible and its P2P connections simply are not state-of-the art anymore. Especially for competitive multiplayer. This cannot be addressed----realistically----until Destiny 2. But its one of the MANY reasons why Destiny 2 needs to have a brand new engine.
-
I stopped reading when you started pooping on Destiny's graphics. Destiny's gorgeous, that's an objective fact.
-
I just want you to know battlefield has more weapon tweaks than any other game alive. Take a look at the patch notes for battlefield 3 and 4. Virtually every update tweaked something
-
So much false information in your complaints though
-
Best way to play Destiny... Get Loot. Get out. Optional (Come back for PVP events).
-
No account linked so bye Felicia!
-
Good job bro, glad you found a better game than Destiny that was actually better and not just advertised better. Good luck in battlefield 1 👍🏾
-
Yes! Another toxic player finally gone! Bring your negativity to CoD or something. I'm so tired of all the complaining. . .

Edited by TheLastSeabass: 11/1/2016 11:27:53 PMI'm not saying I'm quitting Destiny but I've only logged on once since last Wednesday. Here's my opinion of mistakes Bungie made that reduce longevity of ROI and have given me less incentive to grind than probably any of their other updates: 1) Engrams convert into Year 2 items: They heavily promoted public events dropping legendary engrams. Problem is, they result in Year 2 gear. Bungie attempted to renew interest in Public Events and did the opposite. 2) No update on the Gunsmith: It's now 13 months of the same weapons. I have every god roll that I can possibly want. There's no incentive for me to test or even check new packages. This is probably the single biggest disappointment of ROI for me. 3) Archon's Forge: This is just a light progression tool. It may have a little more longevity the Court of Oryx but they should of had more than just 2 weapons and maybe rotated the drops every month sort of like how every Iron Banner offers 2 different weapons. 4) Queen's Wrath: 3 weeks to rank QW and get a new item? After getting duplicates, I'm done with this activity. Great idea Bungie, but like the Gunsmith, this is a big miss. 5) Festival of the Lost: I can't add anything here that hasn't already been said but it's a contributing factor for me not playing.
-
Regarding the paywall (mandatory PlayStation Plus subscription to play Crucible): this drives me nuts each time I think about it. Purchasing the console and the game and paying for internet is not enough to be able to play a multiplayer game? What kind of bullshit is that? Why should I feed the japs? This extortion must stop!

I'll just leave this here [spoiler]shameless battleborn plug. [/spoiler]

Do you enjoy parts of destiny? Or destiny at all?
-
If the destiny fanboys are giving you problems, just ignore them... They're just pissed that they've wasted so much time into a flat out disappointment...They're lashing out, like when a child throws a tantrum because he lost.
-
Bye player I've never known or even heard of.
-
Ha ! You will be back .....

You know. When a father leaves with no reason The family is ok. But when the father makes a big ass diagram on why then the family is pissed.

I understand this post. as destiny player since year one i feel like i am constantly being scewed over by the reward system. e.g just last week I got an exotic engram and when you decrypt an exotic its almost guaranteed that it will be at a higher light level not for me it was 2 light levels below my current gear. I don't play trials for flawless and only for bounties and I get gear below light. played a s**t load of archons forge to try and get a 400 ghost or artefact with no luck. I mostly farmed strikes for gear but now with the rubbish drop rates of skeleton keys there just doesn't seem to be any point (also again the gear drops are below light from the horde chest!!!) want to play hard mode raid but I just cant find a capable group to raid with and all my friends have already done the raid for the week and will refuse to help me because they wont get any rewards from it. the only thing left is normal crucible, and, well, just no............ for me the most consistent source of high level gear would be iron banner which was actually very fun this year with the revised bounties and levelling (I actually had time to level 2 two characters to rank 5 in IB with great rewards) so yeah that's my opinion at least, just don't find the game as rewarding anymore s'all I'm saying.
-
If you want solo play I'd recommend Doom.
-
Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.
-
Hah 2000+ hours my ass lol barely 400+ in any activity.
-
Yep im with ya there. Im completely done with this game and I've also been a daily player since the vanilla. Too bad though this game could've been so much better.
-
Completely agree with you, I hate the loot system most of all since hard mode wotm came out, I've had nothing but sidearms from vosik(excluding normal legs and fusion)and I've had 14 including the challenge chest. spliced chest, rocket launcher and 2 machine guns from siege engine, and 2 hand cannons and 3 pulse rifles form aksis. And the only exotic armor I want (as I have nearly every piece for Titan) are the dunemarchers, I've used about 170 tocs in total which gave me about 11 engrams total and 5 of them were legs, but they decrypted into 2 preguine greaves and 3 mk.44 stand asides.
-
Rogue's light must be 392, there's a Bug when decrypting Exotic Engrams at 392 yields 391 gear. Rogue stated his Engrams Decrypted at light lower than his current, therefore Rogue hit a minor glitch and couldn't figure out how to get past it. I just did Crucible & Archon's Forge till I got to 393.
