I think tiered gear is fine, it honestly doesn’t bother me and yea it gives players a reason to finally grind for tier 5 weapons. What bothers me personally is the lack of incentive. The expansion itself looks bland with content, the stat changes are horrible for pvp. Like who the heck is not going to max out their weapon stat? Bungie also failed to bring in more power to the player in terms of abilities. At the end of the day, we are playing with space magic, people want to use new abilities and find new perks to make builds. When they promoted the edge expansion, all I saw was just more destiny. Nothing new or worth the hype. Just stat changes and quality of life changes which is meh.
