now i love the feel of destiny's gun play and combat, its really fun, unfortunately it has no equal, so over the past few years its slowly descended into a very nasty place, it is now at a point where it actively preys upon certain psychological issues
if you dont happen to own the season pass for the season you will constantly have alerts telling you someone want to talk to you, with no way to get rid of said alert because you cant interact with that NPC, that takes advantage of people OCD
and i know people are sick of hearing FOMO mentioned when destiny is involved, but its truly the #1 preyed on issue, because it preys on the #1 most prevalent psychological issue in the world, Anxiety Disorders, which gets triggered near constantly by destinies incessant need to make people buy the current season or DLC or risk being locked out of massive parts of the game and unable to play with friends that would have access to that content
and probably the worst part of all is even though Destiny 2 is a free to play game... its not, after witch queen drops you'll only be able to access the EDZ, Nessus and maybe the dreaming city.... thats it, and its a Paris Hilton [i](the "just stop being poor" issue for all you youngins)[/i] situation with Bungie, they seemingly prefer it tis way, they haven't given any proof of the opposite, just "we will try and cut down on the FOMO" then proceeding to double down on it
honestly for those of us that cant afford to keep paying anywhere from $60-$100 a year to keep up to date, or those of us that took a break and now would have to pay $165 (not including tax) to even be able to play when witch queen drops, its horrible and disgusting
thats not even talking about the absolutely disgusting effects of what happens to players who love the game but cant play, it cause Severe Depression, Anxiety issues, and even Manic episodes in rare cases its almost as bad as Warcraft Addiction, seriously its as if Bungie hired a team of Psychologists to teach them how to prey on the human mind so they could milk players for their money then toss aside the ones who were to poor to play anymore
this needs to stop, at this point is a Psychological hazard to the gaming community and the Devs seem to either not know, not understand, or not care and maybe even revel in it
this is probably going to be my last ever interaction with destiny and its community, mostly being that because of their screw up with game pass im locked out of 80% of the game and im not paying nearly $200 to fix it, i have to save that money for the damn therapy to reverse the issues the game and its Developers gave me and my friends
so good luck on your adventures im out of here
~PEACE~

If Destiny is a trigger for your anxiety, I suggest you stop playing. I get what you're saying and I've always disliked the DCV. But if you're not happy with the game, just stop playing. I quit Midway into Red War and didn't pick it back up until midway into Forsaken when it improved. Maybe it'll improve one day. Plenty of other great games out there, Guardian. Hit up the sales, you'll always find excellent gems in them. Its pretty much how I've found all the other great games I play now. Heck, I barely play D2 these days myself. I keep the hobby going purely for the lore content. D2 just delivers a mediocre experience in all other aspects and my other games provide a more rewarding experience in regards to PvE and PvP content.
