Its been a long run, but frankly, don't you guys think the dumpster fire that is the crucible has been fed and re-kindled enough? nothings changing, evolving or adapting.....
You people add new gear, new weapons, new mechanics, new finisher animations, new ways to obtain loot, new maps.... new new new, and yet, less than a week after this new content has released, the crucible players scaled up their equipment and have completely reverted to the same toxic meta-play from all of the previous seasons.
Pinnacle weapons are still being used much to the chargin of those of us who cannot unlock said weapons [b]BECAUSE[/b] of how they are unlocked, being forced to endure countless losses against those who already have them, with no real means of countering said weaponry, earned through gambit, vanguard or raids.
You released such outstandingly broken gear, that even now after the patches, and nerfs, those same weapons that you tried to bring in line are [b]STILL[/b] out-matching even the exotic weapons that are supposed to be the go-to cream of the crop, as they were in Destiny1.
Furthermore, despite you're repeated statements of trying to appease the players, why have you still relented to only appease just the vanguard grinders or competitive scene's? What about those of us who have always stood apart relying on actual skill in other modes or means from the previous game? Such as the illustrious [b]Sparrow Racing League[/b], the Rugby/basketball/football/thunderdome'esque mode that was [b]Rift[/b]? Or even the True test of skill in the crucible, that was [b]Inferno Clash[/b]]? Hell, even the full micro-war simulator that was [b]Combined Arms[/b], for which you actually linked a former map from, as part of the main [b]Lunar Battlegrounds[/b]?
All that i am really asking is for you to re-evaluate what you have done with your game and try to see it from both your point of view, but also from the viewpoints of the players that have existed outside of your test-groups and inner-circle. There are several of us still holding out a last glimmer of hope to see what once was, return, but it won't hold out forever.
You have brought some hope back with shadowkeep, I personally just hope that this roadmap doesn't just appease only select groups and that you have been paying attention to this populated world you've all created...

[u][b]P.s. whether this receives a valid response or just gets ignored and trolled by forums rejects, i'll have something of an answer... just hope its not all in vain.[/b][/u]
