Hey Bungie how's that catering the the streamer community working out for you.

[quote]1. Corruption and greed within the company 2. Unfair pvp balancing 3. Constant nerfs 4. Irritating and fruitless grinding 5. No free giveaways unless your apologizing for something stupid you did 6. Expensive store and seasonal and yearly content 7. Not listening to your player base 8. Making easy content feel much more difficult than necessary 9. Bugs, bugs, and more bugs 10. Ridiculous currency caps [/quote] 1. Greed has nothing to do with player retention here. 2. How is the balancing in PvP unfair? 3. We get more buffs than nerfs by a significant amount. Regular balancing updates are a good thing. 4. There’s basically nothing to grind for. If it was actually endless, retention would be higher. Instead it’s the exact opposite. 5. We get free content in basically every major update. 6. For how much this game gives you, charging $100 a year is pretty damn cheap. You really won’t find a cheaper hobby out there. 7. Not listening to your personal opinions doesn’t mean they aren’t listening to others. Unfortunately they’ve made many decisions based on player feedback and that’s one of the reasons why the game is where it is. The quality of the feedback is important. 8. The game has been getting easier and easier with every update. Where is hard content for those that enjoy it? 9. Bugs will always be present with a game that releases content at this pace. 10. There’s no hard to obtain currencies in the game anyway. The caps are only there to help the little guy by evening the economy out. The real issue with the game is lack of desirable pursuits and constant one off throw away content being made.

You forgot vaulting content we payed for

Bungie don't care no how. They aren't like other games that people are flocking too. Gee I wonder why? Oh, maybe cuz they actually listen to their players and give them what they want instead of constantly manipulating them with devious tactics like Fomo, gambling addiction, stockholm syndrome, and so forth.[/quote] Reason 12 Light level caps on every activity permanently nerfing us. That's why I'm out.

[b]Reason 11:[/b] a Story that’s a complete mess due to missing content from vaulted expansions and seasons which makes it basically impossible to experience a coherent narrative with a beginning, middle, and end. Which turns away new players and alienates returning players. ———————————————————————— It would be awesome if Bungie overhauled the Timeline Reflections to include Campaigns and major story beats from seasons - providing direction and context to battlegrounds, strikes, and dungeons as well as expansion storylines like; - Separation of Savathun’s Worm - Amanda’s Death - our deal with Riven - our history with Calus - Eramis character arc - the Traveler leaving our atmosphere - etc. We should be able to experience the Light and Dark saga story from D1 through D2.

[quote]1. Corruption and greed within the company[/quote] Doesn't exist, I'm afraid. It might be fashionable to think 'everything's a conspiracy', but this is just another example of good old fashioned incompetence. I don't think there's even a particular 'greed' element, just a very, very 'out-of-touch' way of looking at the gaming market. [quote]2. Unfair pvp balancing[/quote] Not unfair, just really, REALLY badly designed. They have a PvP playerbase that breaks out in hives every time you mention skill based matchmaking and when the only metric you use is to match with is tied to connectivity, you're going to get matched with people where the only commonality is connection speed [quote]3. Constant nerfs[/quote] [quote]4. Irritating and fruitless grinding[/quote] Once again, bad design in both cases. Games usually require the odd tweak here and there but the scale and frequency this is done in D2 is beyond astonishing. [quote]5. No free giveaways unless your apologizing for something stupid you did[/quote] While this might initially sound like it comes from a place of entitlement, why the hell not? It should happen so rarely that it should cost the company next to nothing. DE do this with their livestreams all the time and also if there's even an off chance that a rework or tweak has inconvenienced somebody to some degree [quote]6. Expensive store and seasonal and yearly content[/quote] Three different issues there - overall expense for in-game content, the fact that they even tie seasonal content to paid purchases and the fact that their yearly content doesn't yield much in the way of overall value [quote]7. Not listening to your player base[/quote] They never have - not so much a reason people are leaving now, more a reason why people have always left and why this has been such an ongoing discussion. [quote]8. Making easy content feel much more difficult than necessary[/quote] Once again, bad design. There's an old saying that you can please all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time but you can't please all of the people all of the time. Only at Bungie would they think that pleasing none of the people none of the time was a solution to that. (the answer to this is simply selective difficulty scaling, which curiously enough they have planned for Frontiers although why it wasn't always in the game after putting an appearance in Destiny1, is utterly beyond me). [quote]9. Bugs, bugs, and more bugs[/quote] And back to competency again. Kind of forgivable for new stuff but managing to introduce new bugs to years old content certainly isn't. And doing stuff like leaving placeholder icons in place on live seasonal content where it's only one of two changes since last year should be a disciplinary offence, to be honest. [quote]10. Ridiculous currency caps[/quote] And back to bad design again. Introducing caps to currency for technical reasons is one thing but Bungie are quite literally wasting database space with their current caps, and doing so as a means to throttle the player experience. All of that being said, I think rather than listing out ten reasons why people are leaving Destiny, we should be all trying to think of reasons why were are staying, and if that isn't greater than the number of reasons to leave, welp....

Lack of communication for a future. Why invest time into this franchise if there is little to no meaningful content updates.

One thing often mentioned is it’s not easy for new players. Also the story is a mess with vaulting.

The franchise used to be a polished triple A product under Activision, now its a cash grab gacha f2p game that milks loyal players to fill the higher ups pockets. With zero interest in players satisfaction.

It’s a lot more than that bungie as a company need a complete restructuring from management and really everyone needs to get restructure but management especially because they don’t listen or they do what they want instead of what the players want They should’ve been fired years ago, the game as a whole sucks because of the company that’s lacking in a lot of areas and new games that come out are simply better because the companies not all of them but a lot of companies have better management teams and people actually care about the game and the players and want to improve the game experience for everyone bungie just wants to take from the players while giving nothing in return they’re like a toxic ex girlfriend that just wants money from you but doesn’t care about you in the slightest it’s better to leave her and block her than to let your mental state continue to decline because of how bad she uses and abuses you
