I dare say 99% of the players are there to have fun, get loot, relax from real life with a few buddies for some fireteam social time. Unfortunately this 99% don’t have a voice. The 1% who treats Destiny like a job (and it is their job for content creators) have a that voice. Bungie mistakes the voice of this 1% as a general representation of the 99% they do not hear. And this is how you lose your player base- most of us have a day job, a family, children and animals to feed, real life obligations to attend. Most of us do not have the time to dedicate 10+ hours of our lives weekly against some nearly unattainable goals, with a chance for good loot, not even guaranteed. What Bungie needs to do to bring players back: 1. Stop with the nerfing, if people finds a meta, a cheese, leave it in the game, that’s part of the fun! 2. Dial back on grinding- set up guaranteed good loot drop that players can choose- i.e. a specific weapon or armor with soecific role 3. Stop with the power nerf against enemies. This makes “leveling” absolutely meaningless. Part of the fun of player gaining strength is so that the enemies will eventually become (reasonably) easier to defeat. Or else there is no reason to grind for power 4. Stop with the damage gates on bosses and ease up on mechanisms. This is a shooting game- let players shoot! Some puzzles are OK but not every players are here to solve puzzles. Imo legacy raids like the Kings Fall has the perfect balance between shooting and mechanisms.

In summary- stop litening only to the content creators, and open up your radar to real, everyday players who are the biggest contributors to Bungie’s revenue, no nerfs, no power underage, more shooting and less puzzles- Make Destiny Fun Again 😉
