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.

There is some stuff that isn’t exactly “too difficult “ but do a have checkpoints a long way apart. This is a real challenge when you are solo so I can get very frustrated. The Vexcalibur mission was one example. I just happened to have a day free and battled through it. Shame it’s such a dreadful exotic. I did the same to get Choir of One and found that a challenge but enjoyable. The idea of repeating those missions just to get updated or better rolls is horrible though. Maybe for solo players have different checkpoints and have a mode that’s a little more forgiving in that regard. The Explorer solo mode for the dungeons is a good move. It’s nice to be able to work through dungeon mechanics without being insta killed by powerful enemies.
