You need to look at Kujay. He's been playing the game for a while, streaming for 5 years if I remember correctly, and recently took to YouTube, linked below. He can come off as really aggressive, but that's just how he talks. His YouTube channel consists of ways to improve the game and player experience, with a big emphasis on loot and reward systems. I agree with nearly everything he brings up and proposes, and I think it would be very valuable to take at least some of his ideas into consideration. One of the biggest things he continues to bring up is improving drop rates on gear, and I completely agree with this. I don't know why you seem so allergic to giving players loot, Bungie. Loot is good. We like loot. We will play the game if we feel like we can get loot. One of my favorite Destiny 2 content creators, Hush, said flat out in one of his YouTube videos that he came back to Destiny 2 because Season of the Chosen introduced a lot of new gear to chase. But drop rates and accessibility to both materials and gear is just too low. It needs to be easier to get items. One counter is that people will then be able to grind a bunch of activities and get an insane amount of gear and materials. To that I say, only the hardcore players. Only to players who's jobs it is to play this game, or those who have excessive amounts of time to play. To the casual player, obtaining gear, let alone good gear is far too hard a challenge. One of my friends has only the weekends to play Destiny 2, but he thoroughly enjoys the game. I remember him asking me what weapons to chase, to which I responded the Ace of Spades. It then took him 2 months to gather a single Ascendant Shard to buy Ace. That is actually insane, and should not have been the case. With talk of expanding Bungie and Destiny 2, I feel like changes to the loot system and vendors should be made. The only vendors to have any significant changes made to them *since release* are Shaxx and Drifter. That is just mind-boggling. Kujay brings up ways to revamp vendors, playlists, and loot mechanics in a way I feel would benefit the game. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCREJzvAT8ZQSNUCf-n1qjXQ
