As usual, you guys are missing the point. (Destiny)
Zero comparable legendary guns, even with the worst possible roll, were worse in Destiny 1.0 than in Destiny 2. The grind for better guns is trying to make your Corolla a Ferrari. Destiny 2 has given everyone a Citroën 2CV. No upgrade ever. You're literally complaining about being able to get good guns.
This gives people a common goal so they can play online with their friends and work towards something. Yes, they can play the game with their friends for no goal, but something feels better about accomplishing something than accomplishing nothing other than killing time.
Cheapley is completely straw manning the other point of view. You play for fun. Loot is fun. I have played a lot of games instead of Destiny, because I think "I want to have fun. I can have fun playing Destiny for no reason with nobody, or I can play OOTP Baseball and get the Tigers to their 56th consecutive World Series, or play Madden and break every single franchise record, or go poison my neighbour's pets when they go into my yard. All else being equal, I'm going to pick the fun that has accomplishment built in.
You guys are shitting on this design for absolutely zero discernible reason to me. Yeah, now you don't have to grind a strike 50 times for a gun. Guess what? You didn't last game either. You just could. I cannot understand why you guys think a game with added incentives to play more and beyond the story, is somehow worse than a game which has no added incentive to play beyond the story.
What you are complaining about is the opportunity to get more stuff.
