My first post, apologies in advance for any errors.
While a good few of you are calling for a hard reset (such as a Destiny 3), it isn’t the best idea. Realistically, a Destiny 3 would divide the player base even further than it already is by way of removing nearly half a decade’s worth of content, collections, feats, and accolades. Not only would the upper echelons of guardians most likely move on to other titles, the everyday Steve would very likely not want to put up with having to start from square one and work their way back up to where they were.
While starting from scratch could have its benefits (potential engine update*, old bugs happening to be fixed by way of starting from scratch**, and possibly dropping old-generation consoles.) who’s to say that all of the bugs and glitches that we’ve dealt with for so long won’t return?
I believe that the best solution is to stay with Destiny 2, rather than making a new installment.
If they were to drip-feed (stay with me) us quality (stay with me) content over an extended period of time, it could give them the time they need to fully address some of the more pressing issues, such as the dreaded missing character model bug. Another good idea could be a page, be it on the internet or in-game, that explains many different important concepts (the mod system, buildcrafting, and how to pass the ball within “The Corrupted”.) that a new light would most likely need to know.
TL;DR for all of you who don’t care to read that much (can’t blame you):
While a Destiny 3 may seem like a great idea, its cons would outweigh its pros.
*I haven’t the foggiest how this works
**we all know that they would most likely reuse code from D2, causing similar issues to what we’re facing now to arise
Feel free to share your thoughts, discuss, and contemplate whatever you choose.
Edit 1: This will most likely be edited later on as I discover small mistakes I’ve made.

D3 would just be another reissuing of everything we’ve already gotten and had reissued. Half the loot would be reissued stuff or the same things with a different skin. I’m not t a collection all over again. That being said, Frontiers really needs to change up the formula or I will also be done. The game has been far too samey for far too long. Episodes are just worse feeling seasons with more time gates AND time gated weapons if Echoes is any indication of this new model. The rumors about small content drops with little to no story are very unappealing to me. They really need to out together some kind of roadmap showcase or something. The uncertainty is killing people’s desire to continue at this point.
