But it is the only thing Bungie know how to do is nerf, don't take much to look at the ops say this one takes 5 mins gets 1 reward so if another takes like 15 it should get triple if not more. Bungie don't nerf stuff bring other ops up in rewards so we want to play them.

I’ve done fewer than 6 solo ops. I will never do them again because they are so mind numbingly stupid. I have no interest in solo ops. However, the solo ops drops should not be nerfed. The drops should be doubled. If someone is addicted enough, and has the intestinal fortitude to suffer through that bullshit. Just give them the drops, double them.

After hitting 400. I think im done with the grind. At this point, im only playing to get that destiny itch out of the way. There's too many good games out and coming out for me to worry this much about destiny anymore. Honestly, even though im rank 9, all my drops have been tier 2 or 3. The stuff I have on now is all the solstice event I was able to get those. Otherwise, I would still be decked with tier 3 stuff I honestly can't stand the grind anymore. I used to be able to make sure all 3 characters are pretty much in sync with LL and gears, I share the weapons. Now, I haven't been able to touch the other characters. i get so burned out running the same crap over and over again just to get LL, just and regrind the same loot again. I really loved destiny, as many of you. Now if the solo ops is an easy lost sector, i probably do 2 or 5, then switch up the activity a bit and then I give controller to my 11year old. I just can't stand the decisions bungie makes. Im kinda over it

Yea I was out the moment I finished the raid the grind just not fun and more boaring than lightfall and curse of orsiris like recycled content in the portal and nuking raids and dungeons not putting them in the portal also last weeks TWID was the last straw treating the community with so much disrespect

Now that I've reached 400 it's just boring --strike after strike. 400 to 410 is a bear!!! I love Gambit, but why, for a 200 gear to dismantle and get 100Glimmer. I love to play Dares too, but again, no benefit. Oh, and what it cost to level your old gear we've paid how much for in real money to acquire and now put on shelf. They have really forced our hand down to weapons and gear. Where is IRON BANNER? I hate you took away the meaning and purpose of bounties. I STILL DO NOT UNDERSTAND the purpose of an exotic engram this season!!! I have my current gear mastered at 92, I get an engram for a 58-61...making it an 86 at best. So, I think I'll infuse my 386 to my 200 and it costs me out the wazoo. I can't even infuse for 1000 glimmer. AGAIN, exotic engrams mean nothing, and I usually dismantle new one. Unless I'm missing something. Why can't I buy these shards lol I mean UNSTABLE CORES anywhere. 6000+ to lvl a 10/200 to 400....yikes! Keep grinding for the cores to level all your fav stuff! BUNGIE never rewards the faithful. The sharpshoot and flamekeeper were ok, but not having something each week is boring. Guardian, to prosper, you MUST use NEW GEAR and live in the PORTAL!!!! No fun for you! Got it. I don't mind the new system, but I hate you force out our hard earned and literally paid for gear, BS. Who got that job to put a little icon symbol in the upper left-hand corner of our old gear, and decide what will work in your new grind system 🙄

Say, what if power level is simplified with no powerful, pinnacle or such bs? All drops are guaranteed +1 with 40% to be +2 and 10% for +3 and you can reach 550 just from getting these drops

Edge of frustration

I seemed to remember few years ago that they said they wouldn't throttle our power progressions, and yet here we are.

You have to understand psychology behind this. Bungie knows that "core" fanatics put hours what they need so that game will not die.

And Hell divers 2. I have been trying for weeks to go from 400-450 - have given up. 20+ portal runs is too much IMO

Variks agrees with you! Unfortunately (insect-like chattering) my makers appear to have stones in their ears.

It’s crazy to see so many players over 400 ?! Sucked in !

I maybe do 1 solo and 1 fireteam ops daily, depending on if there’s any bonus drops available. Then I grind out crucible. It’s what I personally have fun with. The path to 400 is far more enjoyable for me. Takes way longer, and I won’t be getting to 450. Along the way, I’ll get some more tier 4 loot, and hopefully some tier 5s sprinkled in. At the end of heresy, I played the hell outta gambit to get my personal god roll of Trust. And had fun doing it. (Sometimes I run Malfeasance with trust; double 180s lol) Even got a few games in with Jonty before he retired. I like some of the changes armor wise, and tier wise. But in my humble opinion, this expansion isn’t half baked, it’s half conceived. The fact that new changes coming up in ashes/renegades are being rolled back proves that to me. I’m gonna continue to play, because Destiny will always be special to me. But sometimes something or someone you love F’s up. Hardcore. I still love crucible on console. It’s what I dig into whenever I can. The rest of the game, not so much. Correction: Campaign on legendary was excellent, and I’ve enjoyed the fabled missions. Looking forward to mythic. But I ain’t playing on all three characters anymore (Titan till the servers die!; though I was having a lotta fun with warlock during final shape.) I’m convinced there isn’t much turn around for the franchise anymore. At least all the weapons I’ve saved over the years still work in the stale and absconded piece of bread that is the crouton Crucible. The grind sucks. They ain’t getting me. At least not the way they want.

You wanted grind back and now you do lol
