Sunsetting overshadows your live stream
I watched the live stream this morning and got extremely excited about all the new content coming this Fall. So after the long wait for the download to finish and the many warnings about my connection to the Destiny server I was finally able to log on.
The wait didn't end my hype, the new video and story missions were really cool. After I finished the and acquired my new grenade launcher and did one of the boring new public events from this season I was still excited.
Then I looked at my weapons and armor and saw Bungie is already implementing sunsetting. We aren't affected by it, but it's there and looking and ready to destroy our inventory and vaults as soon as the new expansion comes this Fall.
I immediately lost any motivation I had to play this season. Every strike, crucible match, Gambit match, seemed utterly pointless. What is my goal? To receive armor with a time limit? What if I get busy with work/school/life for a few months? It doesn't matter to Bungie if you enjoy playing the game as long as you are buying new content and that is clearly apparent.
Sunsetting weapons I get, Bungie is too lazy to find a viable solution for balancing so just hit the refresh button. Sunsetting armor after the grind you made to masterwork it? After you made it the only decent reward from the season passes? It saddens me to see people support a company which has fallen so far out of touch with its player base. Bungie has been my favorite developer since the first Halo but they just can't seem to get out of their own way since D2 launched. I was expecting good things after the Activision split but it's just more of the same.

Sunsetting is a HUGE F U to us who grind our asses off for our Rewards only to reset me and make me do it all over again. It is a complete disrespect of the Player’s Time. As my Favorite Streamer (SayNoToRage) always says “If you don’t respect the player’s time, you don’t get the player’s time” I agree with that saying (but I do find it ironic he says that cause he supports Sunsetting.) but yeah. Bungie is spitting in our faces by Sunsetting. Not to mention the Bounty grind to level up the battle pass is boring as -blam!-. Bounties should be a secondary/passive thing to do, not a primary thing to do. Strikes and Raids should have an Base amount of XP by completing them while bounties give you a boost of XP. I would LOVE for Bungie to do what Apex Legends does. Have a base XP for completing Matches (factoring in Kills, Revived, Assists etc.) then have 3-4 Daily/Weekly Bounties/Challenges that give you 1 Battle Pass Level Up, then the rest give you 6,000 XP etc. anyone who knows Apex Legends knows what system it has and why Bungie needs to adopt their system. It’s simple, it’s less grindy etc. Bungie is being a lot like Bioware with Anthem, they REFUSE to look at the systems that other games have and improve on it to make the game better. But Bungie seems to have the same attitude as Bioware of “we’re not allowed to talk about other games, not allowed to mention other games, we will just do what WE want” and we all know that kind of mentality lead to the downfall of Anthem and IT WILL lead to the downfall of Destiny. It’s only a matter of time. If you don’t learn from your predecessors, you are DOOMED to fail. It’s that simple.
