+1 (Destiny)

I'd be lying if I said I really cared about this. It mostly doesn't affect me, due in no small part to not currently playing the game, but also because when I do play, I'm not just trying to grind out Bright Engrams. As always, the best way to play Destiny is by ignoring its economy and loot systems as motivation and just enjoying playing with friends.

And, as always, even when it is possible to play the game that way, it doesn't excuse Bungie's terrible economy and loot system designs. Maybe there are good reasons for doing what they're doing (besides the obvious "to sell loot boxes" reason, I mean), but, as always, Bungie's communication is abysmal and the way they go about changing things with no or vague information looks extremely shady and inspires absolutely no confidence.

Assuming the worse has worked more often than not for predicting Bungie's behavior in the Destiny era, unfortunately, and this whole situation is pretty par for that course.
