A key thing that saps joy from the game is the responsibility and decision-making required with all the legendary gear that I get.
The vault space is now not enough to keep 1 of each with gametype-specific perks.
That means making hard decisions about what to infuse or dismantle.
I seriously look at managing my gear as like doing chores, like paying bills. Except it's ostensibly just to make room so I can play more, but then I'll get more gear I have to make decisions about.
Making decisions saps mental energy. It's called "decision fatigue."

A short term fix would be to double the vault space. That would provide enough breathing room to keep the "one of everything" going for probably 6 months to a year. By then, D2 should be out, right?
I don't know what the long-term fix is. Bungie already has psychologists on staff to design the "economy" (the reward system aka the gambling & payouts). How about getting some psychologists to propose ways of dealing with decision fatigue. Other games don't have the level of variance available in their loot, combined with relatively small storage capacity. This is an uncommon problem that Bungie should take a serious look at.
That's my feedback for Bungie.

If you're suffering from "decision fatigue" after playing a videogame, that's your problem. It's pixels. Delete that shit and get some more digital shit.
