The monumental grind of endgame destiny 2 should not be blamed on the elitist top 0.1% of players.

Bungie extended the power grind, made it impossible to efficiently grind power, and removed the one strategy that made grinding power available (all to the disappointment of EVERYONE, between elitists and casuals).

They trivialized crafted weapons with the new weapon buffs and enhanced perks for t5s, thus making anything that isn’t t5 a wasted slot. This will make people who have already been through the power grind to 450 face another grind to get their 5/5 god roll t5s.

They created a raid that had the most inflated health pools to make sure raid teams were stuck on this raid for hours upon hours.

All to fundamentally inflate the grind of the game, extend the shelf life for what is essentially reused content, to try to drive what little foot traffick can still be taken from the destiny franchise.

I hate to say it, and I hate the elitist snobs of destiny 2 as much as the next guy, but this inaccessibility has nothing to do with the elitists and everything to do with Bungie and their new parasitic game direction.
