gm completion rate on steam is 7.3% so not conquer just one gm clear on steam
One gm completion on xbox is 4.08%
Last wish on steam 7.1%
Xbox last wish clears 3.73%
Now some of those clear percentages are cheaters and paid carrys etc
Banned/cheating players still count to clear percentages even though accounts are removed clear percentages are not ,same goes for trials flawless
I actually play endgame content but the clears for endgame are so low and it got me wondering if this could be part to why d2 has such low player count because let's face it, the only stuff worth doing in the game is the endgame content since the weapons are superior and so is the armor , another good thing is weapons are also less likely to be nerfed or if they are it takes months because it's seen as not an issue since only the top % have access to it (immortal smg was a good example of this same for igneous hammer)
Reason I made this post is because the average player only has patrols, campaign, seasons which recently has locked off some average players due to difficulty like unable to progress due to exotic mission needing doing , low level strikes , and pvp crucible /gambit
Above average players have patrols ,campaign ,exotic missions ,seasons ,seasonal master events ,dungeons ,dungeons on master , strikes all the way up to gm level so like 4 or 5 types of difficulty, pvp crucible /gambit / trials and lastly raids on difficulty from normal to master
So forgive me if I missed anything out but it seems like there is more stuff to do in the game for above average players than there is for average players

you’ve got a point here. you’ve also touched a sore spot and the reason nothing will be done about difficultly. i noticed several months ago that the difficulty increases began locking me out of content. looking up guides on youtube or even reddit all you see are paid carry services. the difficulty in this game and the paid carry services are there for a reason. i believe the nerf to resilience and that idiotic “the game is too easy on pc”commentary by datto are there to push people to use these services. imagine how much money is made. now, what would you do if you were bungie? i could go into gifted subs as a means to pay certain youtube/twitch content creators but i don’t have enough evidence for this. although i do believe there’s more there too. interesting subjects all the same.
