What was Bungie thinking with the new leveling and loot system? They made it so you have to grind power to be able to grind high tier loot, this makes no sense. Not only that but you can only level in the portal, the old powerful and pinnacle system, while stale nowadays, still gave you way more diverse content to play, now you just grind the same activity again and again.
Are they just banking on whales buying micro transactions? The aging destiny player base is getting jobs and families they don't want to play a grind game like Warframe or other MMOs, who is the target audience?
