Destiny 2 has a cycle. New expansion -> Grind for new loot, make cool new builds based on the balance changes and new artifact -> The best part of the game, a contest mode raid (I wont go into how that got ruined by the bots making it 48hrs, all hail the reset long raid in future... but I digress) -> some weird time gated seasonal story with no incentive to complete -> seasonal activities which are made good or bad by the loot being viable or not -> playerbase dies down until next expansion -> repeat Happens every time - Will happen again this time because that is Destiny 2.
