Bungie gave up. Vote with your wallet. Make them earn your time and money. There's no shame in playing something else.

For the love of God stop doing the seasonal activity 4000 times in the first two weeks of the season. Seasonal stories ALWAYS have you doing season activities. Wait until after the seasonal story is over to burn yourself out on it. Then you can grind it, get seasonal challenges, and your red borders all in one fell swoop. Like, yeah, this game doesn't have a ton of variety these days, but some players do this crap to themselves. Y'all log in, repeat the new thing 8000 times, and then when the game actually asks you to do it once, you sh*t the damn bed. Here's an idea, don't do the seasonal activity 16,000 times in 2 weeks and when the game asks you to do it, it won't be such a chore. It's what, the first time the seasonal story asked you to do a coil? How is it Bungie's fault you grinded it 32,000 times beforehand?

The next step of the weekly story is a mission in dreaming city…. …EXACTLY THE SAME MISSION we did already discovering the dreaming city some time ago… Recycled content, hamster wheel, just pathetic 😤

Sounds like you need a new game to invest your time and money into!!! It’s ok and I promise once you break free from Destiny, play other games enjoy them…you can come back and play the stuff you do like in Destiny and ignore the rest!

I gave up in May. The same things you described sucked the fun out of the game. I have around 7,000+ hours in D1 and D2 and had 90 hours into the D1 Beta on Xbox 360. I played the game to death. The only thing Bungle cares about is how much money they can squeeze out of the players, while constantly saying they will do better. They won't. I've moved on to other games. I urge you look at others too.

I started the new season - or whatever it is - and just got overwhelmed by the unknown. Destiny has always been a game that has no hints or instructions. There's something wrong with a game that you have to watch YouTube to see how it's played. I bought Halo Infinite. It's Halo. What more can you say? Lotsa sameo - sameo. This version has a few improvements. The Chief's ability to toss out a bit of dental floss and winch himself up the hill is sorta cool. Coupla new guns. One thing I will say, is "If you can see it, you can go there!" Bungie said that but didn't deliver. If there's a mountain, you can go to the top. What is different from Destiny, is that one thing follows another, with a few side issues to do if you want to. The down side is annoying - ANNOYING - chatter by some text reading dude with "Press X to do this. Press X to do that", endlessly, with no way to turn it off, or lower it's volume. It even rabbits on over the game dialogue. The poor little A.I. chatters away, but this dude talks right over the top of her, to the extent that you have to read what she's saying. Anyway, I played till the end, and now I can go back and do the bits I missed. After that, I fired up Destiny. Dunno why, but it took ten or fifteen minutes to load and start. I wasn't sure what to do, so I looked around for something new, and saw the Riven at the HELM. I started it's event, and spent most of the time dead, or following the other two. Half a minute dead is too long! I don't know what they did! They ran around picking up stuff. There was gas everywhere and you had to do something to cure yourself. I never found out what it was. Just another of Bungie's ridiculous name for an object. The perks were that the event was at a level of five above the player. Doesn't say if it's my level it's five above, or the highest of the three players. I'm just not interested in these sort of challenges. I don't enjoy sweaty! Eventually, the event ended. I didn't go to the chest, as I had killed about two enemies, and I couldn't be bothered. There's nothing different. There's another artifact. Another haul up the light level. Another long session with "Pinnacles" I can't be bothered to repeat this same stuff over and over.

I get you dude that's why....... I'm starting the witcher 3 again.

Been a while for me now ….have been withdrawing since last year ! It’s been a great ride well the first 5/6 years . Not sure if I will partake in FS might just check it out on YouTube 🤷🏼‍♂️

I play something else... I have almost six months left to finish the season pass, if I finish it at all. Furthermore, I excused so many things Bungie did over the years, I'm tired of it.

It's greed man, GREED! Bungie is in dire NEED of money right lol. But no seriously, the game is just a money pit nowadays there's no love, no effort, and no more excuses as to why the game is literally a shell of its former self. Scummy behavior by bungie has resulted in lowering the bar even further and now the old stuff that was getting the smallest amount of love and effort to diversify it has now lost even that. So the game has just gone right back to boring snooze fest. Like grind activity A for quest step B to get to point C to then obtain item D and then rinse and repeat each week for 8 weeks. Really riveting and unique stuff huh, no wonder so many players quit every season.

I feel we've (the devs and us both) optimized the motivation out of destiny. Gun rolls don't matter just shard until you get all the red boarders Red boarders don't matter just use harminizers Leveling crafted guns doesn't matter just buy Levels But guns also don't matter because abilities are so strong The 3 core activities have nothing to chase. No Lunas howl or redrix. Catalysts are practically given away in the first activity you do. If you're not doing trials, gms, or raids already you probably aren't going to start. No more grinding light and seeing the number go up. Titles are either too annoying for most to try or too easy to care about. I could go on but I think that'd get gratuitous. Probably already has tbh. I'm not trying to say there isn't anything fun or anything at all to chase. But I personally feel most of the chase has been optimized out one way or another. It leaves to much room for you to mindlessly play a strike with no goal and ask "why?" I'm honestly mostly still playing some myself bc i love crucible.

This is the byproduct of them caring more about weekly logins ( timegating ) than anything else. Ever since the low stakes, meh loot seasonal model it’s just routine after routine. It worked well enough at first “ look at how consistent these logins are “. Then the players got tired of the same predictable formula over and over. Especially because there is always a repetitive seasonal activity loop that they lock all story info behind. Bungie cared/cares way more about their logins than they do any enjoyment or quality. Now everyone is simply tired of it

I prefer the annual model over the seasonal. Destiny is better if you take long breaks

You've achieved a new version of FOMO for players. Finally Over My Obsession. I suspect many players are reaching this point after playing the game for years. After all, everything gets boring if you do it long enough. Even astronauts get bored with their jobs on occasion so it's no surprise you are just not excited about doing the same things or similar things over and over again in the game. It's just human nature.
