Pause the Time Capsules

Pretty sure Destiny 2 is somewhere over that way ------->

See my opinion could be changed. If anyone would offer a reasonable argument that makes sense on why TCs are so great. Every reason and justification has fallen short. There should be 1 clear cut obvious reason someone could point to and say "here is why they are so great" and it ends the debate. We dont see that tho. Instead we get justification after justification and many of em dont even make sense. Like the game needed these boxes so water and the revamp could go live. How did multiple other power sets and 2 other revamps happen then w/out TCs? There always seems to be some new reason or justification. But the truth is this all comes down to 1 thing, players who wanna buy feats instead of getting them by running content.

TBH..you are absolutely correct. This game flourished without any pay to win system..outside of replays. But that wasn't even necessary then either.

We had multiple in game managers...as well as other player support staff available almost on a wim..at every moment the game was up, as well as the other things you have mentioned.

Advertising was in full swing as well.

All done without digging so deep in the community pocket book.

But yet, that is all gone now or at least severely diminished...we are lucky to even have bugs and other issues resolved within a reasonable time, and by far less streamlined than before.

But yet, somehow people justify all the things taken away, by digging that much deeper into their wallet because it makes sense to pay to win.

I would love to understand why this pay to win system is far greater than the system was before Daybreak and the gold selling bots took over.

^, in the past we had many more players, but the p2w system moved many away, and now they're trying to use to make the game "healthy", but it doesn't work like that. If players keep leaving, no matter how much the time capsules sell, one day or another the game will have no more players..."TCs are required to make content" is a big falacy, because even if they use the TCs money to keep the lights on, it'll kill the game slowly, there are many other ways to keep the lights on, one of them is the booster bundles, that used to sell a lot in the past...

Very true..especially considering there has been no major advertising being pushed..so, it is reasonable to believe that there are far less players joining in except maybe through word of mouth. Even live streams have dwindled down over the past few years.

So, that is a huge tell tale sign that the community is dwindling down. Besides..LFG is a ghost town after a certain hour. Even in the summer months.

The following pushed a majority of the community away...these are the top 9 IMO.

1. AMs
2. Unfulfilled promisses(power releases scrapped, and water was too little too late.)
3. Lack of in game support..which is now far less streamlined.
4. Lack of game managers to keep some of the idiots in line. The community is now more toxic than it has ever been.
5. Lack of creativity with rehashed content and characters.
6. PvP
7. Continually broken powers and imballance in both powers and weapons.
8. Community testing (Totally different argument, but clearly applies). The game is now also full of more bugs than there were previously.
9. The Pay to Win System.

These 9 have created an inability to compete with other game releases.

But yet..hey it's ok, we have the ability to throw as much money as we can toward progression without having to run content. Simply put...it doesn't work like that. Clearly it is showing.
