The game is becoming more difficult year after year and I think Bungie is losing players because of it. We don't hear from them, because they are gone, they just leave.
I think things have steered to much towards movement, making it so that players must zip around everywhere to survive. Which is a little harder to do on controller(console) than mouse and keyboard.

I just deleted my other thoughts on this because I don't feel like listening to elitist comments. I was merely expressing my opinion that this game is leaning towards being too sweaty for casual gaming. I think a lot of us don't really care about raids, dungeons, and exotic missions. They are not worth the time and effort.

Unfortunately this game is now mostly elites. Small playerbase, 11 year old franchise, not new player friendly or welcoming, everyone left is really good or really bad, the average guys all moved on because difficulty & fatigue & neglect. All you'll find here is elitism & trolls, wasn't always like this. I was looking at numbers a few days ago & most of the playerbase was in ultimatum dungeons, GM nightfalls, or trials, the rest of the game was barren. The new saga feeds into this population & thats fine but it won't cover costs to keep the game going - 200k pre orders won't keep the lights on
