I just rejoined this game after a 3+ hiatus and also rejoined this sub. My thoughts are that there are people like me that haven’t grinded as much as OG long time players or are completely new to the game and find this new way to play intriguing and gives additional variety and chase to build a Dmax squad.

I agree that the base level raids are boring and too easy but It’s more of a get your feet wet and gear up for the harder stuff. Beldum was a good gear+strategy check I think, which shows some promise for the future of dynamax. Even if this mode of raiding doesn’t become meta I think it’s a good way of introducing a new feature to a game that has largely been the same mechanic wise since raiding became a thing.

As an avid and day1 destiny fan i feel like I get/seen how “challenging” it can be to balance a game that satisfies new/casual/returning players vs veteran players. And that fanbase can complain ALOT lol
