The rewards are just delivering zero dopamine when I know the devs are making most everything suck compared to the new systems and rewards in the next patch, especially armor.
Everything armor is going down the drain to create a new grind for the new system. All time invested goes in the trash because their live service wants continually escalating power rewards.
set bonuses, more slots, 200 points per stat with new bonuses past 100, and gear tiers
Just all feels like a waste to grind for rewards that will go directly in the trash. And the grind systems in the story have gotten steadily more tedious. If the grinds weren't so heavy handed, I might still do a bit but the grind/reward ratio is just not motivating right now.

tbh rewards stopped giving dopamine when they decided to make every loot drop like candy with zero efforts or grind requiered i remember the last time i was hyped to get an exotic to drop, and it was peregrine greaves and monte carlo in shadowkeep lmao. since then we had no random exotic drops asides from raids and dungeons (that guarantes the gun upon contest completition nowadays) post master is filled with exotic and legendary engrams, at a point i let them disappear now.
