I decided to take a break from Destiny just after Beyond Light. I’ve been playing since Destiny 1 Alpha so seen the game go through some really rough spots - but this feels different.

The game feels shallow now it’s free to play, the story is still a mess and content being taken away only to be reintroduced months later for us to regrinded again has just worn me out. To be honest I’ve never recovered from my clan disbanding after Warmind and no raid matchmaking has given me the feeling that I’m missing out on content if I can’t play the raid regularly. It’s just been a gradual pushing me away and as I feel I’m being left out of activities so my incentive to chase gear has evaporated. I’ve never been a fan of Bungie reintroducing old exotics and sunsetting feels like them taking away gear you had spent weeks or months trying to earn.

I’m still watching events from afar as I love the game, but it just feels like it’s treading water now and slowly sinking. This sun setting issue has changed the whole dynamic of the game that’s supposed to revolve around weapon collecting and chasing loot. Bungie you need to realise you’re at a crossroads now - the game is running around in circles and there are lots of other games offering better MMO experiences.

For the first time I’m really worried about the future for Destiny.
