Sad, Frustrated... idk...

TL;DR - Sad and frustrated at the lack of incentive the game gives me to play at this point in my D2 history (almost 3k hours), and at the lack of desire I have to do these things. Going to keep this pretty plebian since I see no point in being aggressively upset... This morning I logged in to do the weekly story as I do every week, since I am in the office on reset day. I went up to speak to Riven, got the next step, read it, stared at my monitor for 2-3 minutes and turned my xbox off... First time i've done that with a main quest step, [u]ever[/u]. I don't have an interest in doing another coil to collect things i've already collected hundreds, if not thousands of. It makes me incredibly sad. I've got thousands of hours on this game. I love the lore, I have all the books. I love the storytelling. But I couldn't be bothered because the weekly MAIN quest step was "do the seasonal activity" again. It's not that I don't have the time, I am just not interested enough to slosh through 15-30 mins of seasonal activities, to end up running a Riven's Lair, to get an egg where the chest should be, to go back to the helm, to run a lost sector in DC (that still doesn't have alt LZs), to get a 30 second conversation BACK in the Helm, to be left disappointed after sleepwalking/speedrunning through the actual gameplay of the weekly quest. I figured okay well if i don't wanna do the quest step, maybe I can do something else, OH the Dawning is live! Same thing... Memento is baller. Really cool. The weapons? not-a-one. Armor is purchase only. I don't buy the event cards. What is there to chase? So now, I haven't done the weekly quest, AND am uninterested in the seasonal event going on. I am really sad, really frustrated, bored, pissed off, dejected, unmotivated to play; and I wish something would happen to bring that spark back. Maybe it's the fact that I have everything already, maybe it's because the content isn't great, maybe its me just being pessimistic. I don't feel the love anymore, and it really breaks my heart.

    For the love of God stop doing the seasonal activity 4000 times in the first two weeks of the season. Seasonal stories ALWAYS have you doing season activities. Wait until after the seasonal story is over to burn yourself out on it. Then you can grind it, get seasonal challenges, and your red borders all in one fell swoop. Like, yeah, this game doesn't have a ton of variety these days, but some players do this crap to themselves. Y'all log in, repeat the new thing 8000 times, and then when the game actually asks you to do it once, you sh*t the damn bed. Here's an idea, don't do the seasonal activity 16,000 times in 2 weeks and when the game asks you to do it, it won't be such a chore. It's what, the first time the seasonal story asked you to do a coil? How is it Bungie's fault you grinded it 32,000 times beforehand?
