Grinding feels like a waste with revamp coming
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.

Edited by Technohydra: 5/22/2025 11:43:16 PMHonestly even since D1, only weapons are really worth grinding for. A god roll hand cannon or shotgun can make a massive difference in a raid or Trials match. God roll armor has always been…nice to have. Yes, it adds that final 5% to a build that pushes it to the max, but functionally, it’s never been that important. As always, grind guns. When the armor switch happens, do a few days to catch up to the current system, then never worry about it again until you hone in on targets for a build. As long as I can ornament back to my classic Iron Banana gear, I’m not much fussed. How many times has Bungie made me do this in 10 years? It’s just the expectation at this point.
