Bungie knows players hate power advantages in PvP. Always have. But now? They don’t care. The only thing that matters to the current team is grind metrics, because PvP players could mostly skip the hamster wheel unless they slapped power scaling on top of a comically long BIS gear grind. So that’s exactly what they did. Does it ruin the fun? Absolutely. But that’s beside the point. BIS gear now takes 10–20x longer to earn than it did just a year or two ago. PvP is worse, not better. And nobody at Bungie seems remotely interested in fixing it. Because the dev bonuses don’t come from fun or balance. They come from how well the grind fuels cash shop engagement. And that’s where all their focus is.
