After reading the post I feel kinda deflated, on one hand its good that there will be no real advantage given to people starting Destiny 2, but on the other I feel like everything that I stored or accomplished may have been for nothing, that the time effort and in some cases money for the past 3 years may have been wasted. sure we have our accomplishment books but it really feels like its saying once they are done stop playing, every iron banner, faction rank, trials game or challenge of elders completed was meaningless.
it kills the compitition and completionist in me. I have been trying to collect all the ships missing 9, 3 raid ships 2 rare vendor 2 planetary 1 prison of elders 1 trials. Shaders I'am missing 5, 4 trials, 1 strike. 8 emblems, 1 quest, 1 strike, 2 class, 4 trials. I was keeping track of these things, now for them not to mean anything, kinda kills the inhibition to continue playing these activities, I am now just starting to get into trials but now because of this it feels like there is no point. Will I do there next activity? Sure, but it feels that once that's complete there is nothing left in Destiny, It make me in a way less enthused about Destiny 2 because its the end of a game that I put a lot of work into and makes me leery of how destiny 2 will be handled.
I do hope that there is something that either will change or that they will modify so it doesn't feel this way but from the out set I'm am not confident.
