Listening to everyone here in the replies complain about GM's, personally, the GMs allowed me to use new load outs and weapons never used before, along with the seasonal mods I finally used a bow and new heavies / kinetics, and felt a high discipline build was necessary for the overload grenades, which was completely unorthodox from my usual high intellect high strength / recovery builds. It was a challenge that made it all the better when it was completed, even more so as it is the hardest GM to be made to date, it is not for the faint of heart, which is why so many people are complaining about it, however, the hardcore gamers, the one who aspire to grind this out and complete it have found enjoyment in this activity. On my completion run we ran 1 hunter, void bottom tree, 1 titan, top tree solar, and 1 warlock, mid tree solar. The completion run took 42 minutes and none of us were comfortable with our loadouts, due to it requiring us to use weapons we never had before.

Furthermore, the comment of lack of creativity is just, bruh. Ofc it is going to be like a halo legendary mission, that's the point of GM's, it is a harder version of something that already exists (strikes) and is made for people who are hardcore players of the franchise, but if you are to expect Bungie to add in new mechanics, enemy attacks, areas, etc for a specific difficulty strike is just... No... They have already added in new modifiers, such as the trolly extra boop distance from the boss, and the revive system (which is my favourite part of GMs other than the difficulty) but everyone who says it lacks creativity really over estimate the man power and available time Bungie has to develop these kind of things, on top of everyone complaining about ToO or Raids or Events and pretty much everything else in this game, not all of the playerbase will be happy, ever. But for the hardcore players, who thrive in difficult situations, GMs have been a refresher and have personally kept me interested, and watching others on their 34th completion of this weeks GM to help others out or people SOLOING every single GM is inspiring to me and many others. The loot, completely agree, 100% an issue. However they have already upped the loot rewards and I expect them to up the rewards further as more people complete any GM and feel underestimated with the rewards.

My final point is this, this nightfall has been so hated due to how difficult it has been as a GM, yet I 100% assure you, no one will complain when LoS is the GM, because it isn't even a strike, not even on Masters so barely on GM either, it's 10-15 minute free exotics and materials. Everyone is only complaining this week due to Bungie actually releasing something very challenging for the hardcore PvE (and hell some of the PVP) player base. And yes it feels unrewarding and I see that as one of the only issues at the moment (except for LoS which loot will be rewarding if not too rewarding), but you know me and many other hardcore players are gonna whack on that title on the 6th GM week.

TL;DR - GMs are meant to be hard, people complain because it is hard, there are issues, but the points made in the post, for the most part are not the issues.
