There was nothing wrong with infusion through out Destiny. The problem was bottlenecking progression and birthing the moronic elitist mentality. You couldn’t get raid gear if you were solo unles you were lucky to find a LFG team that didn’t require lvl 30s with raid gear and weapons or ghorn. [b]THAT[/b] was the problem and Bungie rectified it. After that people complained about farming materials. I didn’t have a problem with it other than it being a shared world and that if you didn’t follow people around you couldn’t get mats or if you didn’t follow them you were harassed by morons who would message you talking crap. Bungie’s fault. Why couldn’t the materials disappear for those who picked it up and not for those who didn’t . Laziness. So what does Bungie do to fix that? They sell mats which severely undercut the turn in value to factions upsetting those who had 0 issues farming other than people who wanted you to play the way they were, the elitist still believe you should play how they do. The game showers you in cores? Didn’t I read one core per bounty? Is that a “shower”? Did you think two blues and a coin were “so much loot” too? Perhaps you are still not understanding the complaint about cores, it’s ok, there are a lot of people who are behind the learning curve. One item should not pull double duty, especially if said item is supposed to be “meaningful” to the game. [b]THAT[/b] is what people are annoyed with, why one item is being forced for multiple applications. You can get stuff from hawthorn, cool. So what about the solos that aren’t members of a clan? Does hawthorn give out cores to people who aren’t in clans? I haven’t played since Feb, does she now do more than just provide clan bounties and clan rewards?? If not, are you saying that in order to get those 21 cores a week in 3 hrs you must first join a clan??? Smh. I get it that you like systems that lack common sense. A lot of people aren’t blind followers and would like a more common sense approach of the game. Which is probably why the game only has close to 300k more people in it than it did during CoO. And don’t say there’s a “content drought” there have been those many players for a long time now and the numbers decrease every week. What happens when the AP content runs out? Bungie hasn’t sold anything since 2018 and they’ve already collected off it. You think anyone other than the devout fans are going to buy any new content coming out after the AP??? Lol. Devout fan of idiotic developer decisions, you do not have the numbers to carry this game or a future title. You wouldn’t even help Bungie break even on a new title. You need the wallets of the 14.1+ million(and still growing) that are not playing the game or investing money. You and Bungie are not convincing new money to come into the game, you’re convincing them to spend it elsewhere. We don’t need Bungie, their idiotic decisions or the blind fans who’d follow them off a cliff. You need our wallets more than we need you. The game might be Bungie’s but it lives or dies by the consumer. And with that I shall play thee a dirge because that is what is happening.
