It's because bungie doesn't know how to handle a game this big. This type of game hasn't really been done to this level of popularity before. They are making decisions that they think are good because they say they play the game so they ignore what the community is saying. Sure they listen to little gripes but most of the time they ignore what we say or distract with a vague weekly update. They need to listen to what people are saying who play the the more than they do. And they need to get actual testers and not be afraid of balancing something that they know needs to be fixed. I know it takes time to program and tweek things when it comes to how code works you can potentially break something no matter how long you've been a programmer but damn not a whole year wait. And yes getting rid of year one stuff was a bad idea and not the no elemental burn on primary is bad to me too. With this dwell time they have set for us new games are out and it is good to play them to take a break they shouldn't want that long of a break to where we don't come back because it happens. I say they need to bump all the raids to year two standards and drops to make me want to grind different looking weapons and gear instead of all of us wearing the same thing, get rid of timed exotic daily quests make me want to go out and get that exotic and tell us when it comes out to hunt randomly dropping it or putting it on a time table makes us put down the game and play something else and sometimes that's how they lose players, and add an effect to where kinetic does more damage to no shield enemies or make an option where we can customize our weapon to ad a burn type to it that way we can use our favorite weapons and add that little extra to it. Maybe the gunsmith can help us with that to give him even more usability. TL/DR: bungie is new at this and don't know how to handle the game yet and still are figuring out where they are trying to take it. For their sake I hope it's somewhere good or they want even survive to year 4
