Leveling system is ridiculous. The Whole game is ridiculous actually!
I am not sure how Bungie came up with the idea that this type of leveling is good.
It is horrible. I have to spend weeks or even months if i have a life, of grinding the same few lost sectors.
The idea of raids and dungeons apparently just left the building and team play is a distant memory now. It takes forever to level up and when you do there is nothing else TO DO because the content is missing and the old content is not revamped.
On top of all, old weapons and armors are not so viable anymore compared to the new ones. This is just shadow sunsetting and it pisses me off.
There is no reason to go to vendors anymore since reputation is deleted from the game. Now you when you play activities, you don't feel rewarded for your time because there is no progression at the vendors with extra rewards.
I don't know why Bungie did all this but now this game does not feel like Destiny anymore.

Lot players even streamers saying it. I am not fan on this level system. Bungie already lost players base nearly 70% cuz of this and among others. I refuse keep going to grinding levels cuz stressing me out and mental health.

2 RepliesYessir.. just wait until 400. Worst leveling grind I've ever seen in my life
-
It’s wild seeing a 5 year old single player game consistently having higher steam player counts. Game has turned into a f2p grind for the sake of it model except you still have to pay for expansions.

2 RepliesIt all went down hill when they didn't bring back Dead Orbit, FWC, and New Monarchy unique items and rep.

1 ReplyLeveling used to be something that happened naturally as you did a bunch of different activities and chased the new loot. Now, you have to play the same two missions over and over and over and over again just to get to a level where you can actually have the new gear drop at the higher tiers. "But, you don't need tier 4-5 gear." This argument is empty and meaningless. None of the gear is [i]needed[/i]. If they designed a system that allowed us to upgrade our gear to different tiers through grinding for materials and I could only upgrade it to tier 3 because I don't want to play Master and GM content, I'd be fine with that, because at least I would have investment. Locking the tiers behind power and guardian ranks is just plain engagement bait. And then, being forced to play higher difficulty content just to level up is the complete opposite of their second favorite quote, "play your way" (first being, "we're listening").

4 RepliesJust finished legendary campaign (+ all quests) and I’m at 200… Not even halfway to 450… And I’m not going to do this again with my 2 other characters.. Very frustrating.. What is the best way to level up after campaign?
-
Free for play for the first time and yeah glad I didn’t buy the expansion the leveling system is stupid
-
100% agree
-
100% agreesony should fired all the whole team, pvp team is worst of the WORST
-
The game is just terrible and has been for a long time. I’m surprised people still have the tolerance and patience to still play this game
-
Yeah, the gameplay loop is pretty constricted now. Doesn't take advantage of patrol zones either, which made me sad. And the focus on only chasing new gear instead of something cool like new ways of augmenting old gear is disappointing.

To me the portaloo (portal) just reminds me of a arcade game from the 90s, it’s like put your coins in and select a mission and play, just doesn’t feel right for destiny. As for grind I’ve just got to 200 so I’ll probably just about get to 300 before rest, so for me no point in chasing 4 and 5 gear. At the moment d2 is 3/10 for me.

6 RepliesJust continue to play it, it's going to be a-okay.
