Remember when Bungie said that they were severing ties with Activision because they didn't like the greedy direction that Activision was forcing the game in? And now what do we have with Shadowkeep, the first expansion not under Activision? 1. Removal of engrams for levels until reaching seasonal level 100, costing a total of 10 million XP, with only 19 engrams being available before level 100, 95% of which contain worthless shaders (which are for some reason still consumables instead of unlimited use unlockables like in D1) 2. Literally not a single new seasonal cosmetic that can be earned for free. The "new" engrams earned from leveling just drop old Y2 gear that we all already have and all of the new stuff is locked either behind the paid tree of the season pass or purchase for silver in eververse. 3. Free cosmetics that could be earned in previous seasons (quests to unlock the seasonal ornaments for vanguard/crucible armor, etc.) have been removed this season. 4. While it's only been a little more than two weeks so time is yet to tell, there doesn't seem to be any free cosmetics that you can earn through hidden quests ala the sagira shell, 1k wings, harbinger's echo, luxurious toast etc. 5. The amount of things purchasable for bright dust has been severely limited. 6. Removed eververse bounties and removed the ability to break down unwanted items from engrams into bright dust instead making them break down into legendary shards, something that 99% of players are already drowning in because they're so easy to passively acquire, leaving the only way to get bright dust being that which you get from weekly bounties. Seriously, I hate to say it and I can't believe I am, but when it comes to availability of cosmetics without having to pay real world cash, it was actually better under Activision. Bungie wasn't upset with the direction the game's MTX were going, they were just jealous they weren't getting all the money and didn't want to have to split it with Activision.
