But yea I understand. The only surprising thing is the crucible, beyond that everything is systematic. Generally speaking, there is ONE way to beat the raids, every mission, and every nightfall. Yes you can do like some of these try-hards beating atheon and crota solo, but generally you beat him ONE way with a group. Sure the nightfall modifiers do change things, but not really. You always hide, bang bang, ok done. All that changed was how fast you killed him. I really hope House of Wolves adds something unsuspecting. maybe a raid boss that just moves around randomly and will chase you down. Rant over, I could go on for days.

You don't get it.

People do not want to actually be challenged this way. Witness the Crota raid, where the sword bearer hides or otherwise goes somewhere unusual. What do you hear? "Bullshit, Bungie fix this!" as opposed to adapting and sending someone to find him and lure him out.

Atheon doesn't teleport three people. "Bullshit!" as opposed to sending someone through the portal to help and deal.

People want to look on youtube, copy the strat, and have the run go ezpz so they can get their gear. There is no room for improvisation in the fights. It has to be clockwork. That's what MMO raids are after all. You have people like Datto saying as such, even going so far as to design an incredibly boring and restrictive sounding raid boss, which is worse than what we currently have. It would be a disaster in an FPS game.

If you DO find a cool new way to do a fight, it gets fixed because fuck you for being creative and standing on sniper platforms. You gotta get your gear the hard way.

Destiny is an MMO, so it brings with it MMO baggage. Now you know why I hate MMOs on principle, and resent how a great FPS game has been perverted with MMO elements.
