Collections (Destiny)

What you guys are describing sounds nice, but it requires completely ignoring the min/maxing aspects of the game that Bungie has baked into the current iteration of Destiny.

That's what my problem is - there are too many systems with diametrically opposed methods of engagement. Fully engaging with Armor 2.0 and Weapons 2.0 makes Collections almost completely useless and leaves you with countless annoying decisions the entire time you are playing the game. Using Collections makes the game more pleasant to navigate, but at the cost of reduced effectiveness. This is not the kind of decision a game should be asking you to make.

I agree with what you are saying, but I feel like you are making it too black and white. You can have both things. For example, I still use the armor 2.0 and weapons 2.0 when I play. In fact at least half of the stuff I use still use this system. I haven't dug 100% into it because for my play style I don't need to.

However, when I play old raids or even the new ones, I have no need to Min-Max with the new system to effectively play them well. Bungie has said that they want you to play the way you want. You like to Min-Max way more than I do and you can do that. But you can't assume that everything is for every player. Just because collections was created does it mean it's meant for you. You sure can use it, but It seems you aren't the type of player who would use it. I however use it a lot.

I guess to sum it up, I feel like Collections and the 2.0 system is a sliding scale not a one or the other.
