Bungie only timegated in D1 “mainly”weapons as we know. But once they were unlocked you could do the entire quests to finish. D2 is nothing but timegates now. Every new bit of content we get is another timegate. I get the season pass is meant to drip feed us content and that is not what Im getting at but rather the timegating specific quests. Thunderlord quest, shattered throne are some prime examples. Understand this excessive timegating everything is not going to keep prolonging artificial playtime. Eventually players are going to get sick of it,many already are. Timegates In the game are preventing everyone from competing triumphs, titles, etc. Enoughs Enough.

I think a happy medium could be achieved, but there is only so much they can do with the low cost of the dlc. Stuff like the thunderlord quest I can agree, it shouldve probably just been there all at once, though stuff like izanagi's burden is fine (id still prefer they change shattered thrones involvement with the quest). They said The Last Words' quest will be 100% playable when it comes out and its looking to be a big quest? I guess we'll find out. There does need to be reasons to replay and come back every week, all looter / mmo games do it, its just part of the game. Its not like the community will ever be in agreement on this aspect anyway.
