Bungie can we stop timegating events?

I completely understand that the intention is to have people log in and have stuff to do more or less, but it feels empty. It feels like an empty and artificial attempt to keep players invested over time. While I wasn't very happy about content droughts on D1, I honestly believe that seals and pinnacle weapons help decrease drought of having something to do naturally in D2. Please stop time gating events. At this point I feel like timegating serves to push people away from Destiny content rather than towards. I dread the mere thought of waiting for an entire month to obtain the new quest for the last word, but then the quest timegates me for another 3 weeks.

  • Disagree. No developer can create pve content at the rate this community binges on it. Add to that streamers who play the game 8-10 hours a day influencing public opinion? This is the best solution. Create limits for which content is introduced to the game, for players who struggle to create limits for their rate of consumption.

    • I know you kids won’t care, but time gating in all its forms really is annoying for the “wife is out of town for the weekend every 6 months let’s do as much as I can in a very short time” player. Some of us use vacations and holiday breaks to catch up which is impossible with weekly resets that mean you get diminishing returns after a while until the next reset no matter how much you play

    • This is what the community asked for, so they gave it to them. Now that community is complaining.

      • Yeah I essentially stopped wasting my time progressing and am just waiting for the new content to actually release. Kinda pathetic that once the DLC comes out... I'm basically waiting another 6 weeks just for it to actually release all of it's content. Nothing changes with time gating. If there was only ever 100 hours of content released, turning it into 25 per week or 100 for someone to grind all at once doesn't change anything. That should be the players decision not the developers, gamers are going to play in the manner they choose and all they have done is limit the progression style to one that is for more casual players. People that play more shouldn't have to take a vacation while we wait for content to come out. There's literally no benefit in time gating. It just shows that the developers know they didn't create enough content.

      • Bungie, "No, we realise it's negative effect on gameplay but its a really easy way to slow you down. Your too good at our game. You always complete the small amount of content we offer way faster than expected."

      • Agreed, I would have liked it so much better for Bungie to just dump all the new content on us on the day Black Armory came out, that way I can just do whatever I want whenever I want, I wouldn't have to wait three weeks just to access a new activity.

        • I personally like the time gating. Having something new to do every week is pretty cool.

        • You really can’t complain about a quest when you have no idea what the steps are
