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.

I have to agree with op, many of the exotic quests are not worth the time and effort. Exotics used to feel exotic and when you got one, you had gold in your hands.. Now.. dime a dozen. Constantly getting them and many sit in the vault never touched unless to unlock the catalyst and then.. back to the vault. The game has changed significantly and the hamster wheel didn't help, rebranding seasons to episodes was a complete failure.. we saw through that like a single pane window. i miss what is lost and likely will never be found again with this game. There was a spark of excitement and players were invested in running content feels like both bungie and the community have been mailing it in for years and its not going to change.
