You simply consumed most of the available content way too quickly. You are comparing a game that has had 4 dlc's and countless updates with a "vanilla" experience. Sure they should know what they are doing, but in my opinion they do. They rebooted Destiny in a way it will cater to a way wider audience in the long run. Vanilla D1 had pretty much nothing...
Right now D2 has maybe 60-100 hours of solid content, treat it as such. Hardcore players, such as yourself, are a minority.
As for pvp. Having OP gear in a competitive game is never good. Sure for a hardcore player spending hours every day grinding it would be rewarding to have this gun that just one-shots everybody (just making a point). But this would alienate all the casuals. Black Desert is a prime example of this. End game pvp is simply unplayable for any casual player because you stand zero chance against a higher geard player (who spent 10x more time on the game).
So in the end as a company would you rather cater to 85% of your playerbase or to the other 15%..
P.S.; I'm quite sure that d2 will be all you wish it to be in about 3 years time ;-)

I did all of this in under 80 hours. All exotics? What for, most of them are completely idiotic. Cayde stashes? Did them for three weeks where 2-3/5 gave literally nothing. Even being 305 is unimportant. There is nothing that keeps me in the game any longer other than my clanmates once a while...and even helping them feels like a chore. D1 ws way different...it was fun and playble all te time even though there were flaws haunting the game.

You know a lot of players, myself included, disagree with this notion that Vanilla Destiny was Dry. Yeah it was a from-scratch game and new territory for players and the Developer, but most of us we hooked hard for MONTHS, not WEEKS. I played Destiny 1 since day 1, and unless you're too much of a pussy to handle a real grind, the game wasn't that dry. It had better pacing than this pile of shit does. You could spend a day farming for engrams and get only 1 purple engram and it wouldn't have been a wasted day. Log into Destiny 2 for an hour and do public events, and you'll get a month's worth of legendary & exotic engrams. In the time it takes to do 1 strike in Destiny 2, you can get 5x as many legendary drops doing public events, so why bother in doing strikes as all? Oh, because it's "fun"? Fk that, all you do is run here, shoot enemies, run there, stand in spot and kill enemies until you can progress further, that's it. It's the same -blam!-ing thing as public events, run across the map, shoot enemies and kill boss, run across the map again, stand in spot to capture and kill enemies until you're done. There's no point in doing strikes at all, there's no strike specific gear worth farming and the design for strikes is boring and repetitive.

i never said i didn't like the grind in d1, i did i was happy when they made it easier though because farming materials daily grew tiresome. Was there strike specific gear in vanilla destiny? Would having strike specific gear mean anything in d2 with the issue of not having random weapon rolls? I could see if they made them hard to get like it was a low chance to get the drops but even then there would be outrage because, "ive done so and so strike 1000 times and i havent gotten so and so gun to drop. I agree the end game is lacking, But the end game in vanilla was lacking if you got lucky in VoG and hit 30 fast.

So much this. I'm so sick of the B.S. "D1 had 3yrs and D2 is new" argument. D2 is a sequel so it should have built off of what made D1 good instead of stripping away core game features.

Edited by Dayknight: 10/11/2017 2:18:37 PMNo wrong if D2 had everything D1 had with not many new elements, some of you would be complaining that nothing is really changed. The whole “D1 is better, and im having a blast”. Argument is tired. D1 had numerous flaws and issues, all of which were brought to the forums in complaints and critiques and players outright saying bungie fix your game. Is D2 perfect no, some stuff i agree with. Lost Sectors are pointless. They should have never given us an exotic so early in the game. The current set up for IB is not to my liking. I think IB should have been separate without tokens. Have challenges like what Ikora has but for IB. Strike specific loot should be in D2. Despite that i enjoy D2

Congratulations, you're a casual. We're all happy you're coming to the realization. Now when you're done being content with sup-par console development, Candy Crush will be waiting for you to return in a week when your attention span fizzles out.
