A serious question to Bungie about their intentions
I would like if this could be explained, but I'm not holding my breath on it; what are the actual intentions of Bungie going forward with this franchise? Destiny 2 has made some very serious missteps in terms of player investment being valued, and myself and many others are feeling very alienated at the treatment of the playerbase. A lot of choices being made are invalidating 2+yrs of time and effort that have been put into Destiny 2, and all the while we're being told about the artificial Fear Of Missing Out that doesn't feel fun or rewarding to play through.
Naturally occurring things in the world, like the Prometheus Lens, or using Telesto to skip waves in the Blind Well, were fun because they just happened to be there. You can't manufacture those. It's not a Fear Of Missing Out that you're creating, it's having us pay for content that you intend to remove from the game. And now, with the removal of many beloved stats on people's emblems, and the news that our weapons now have expiration dates, it's not that we need to fear what we might miss, but that we have to fear what you might suddenly decide to take away that we've already earned. Our entire life within this game is in jeopardy because of the decisions that you keep making.
The question I want answers to is what do you actually want to do with this game? Where do you want it to go? That needs to be made crystal clear to the community, because right now it [i]looks[/i] like your intention is to [u]make everyone stop playing[/u].

Edited by Jamestown01010: 3/10/2020 11:10:17 PMThis is a great question, one that I have had as I’ve watched this game turn into an unsatisfying grind fest over the years. Now today, when I saw everything reset to zero, including glory, I know Bungie is not focused on keeping players. They are catering to the new free players. Most of the veterans don’t participate in Bungie’s cash-grab, and there is not much else left in the game any more to balance out the cash grab. We used to be able to ignore eververse as the rest of the game was great. Now bungie is putting out substandard content and milking eververse before the game finishes circling the drain. It’s a business and destiny is six years old, so makes sense. It could still be a cash cow, though, if not for bungie driving players away. Maybe the next big release will be free to play only.
