I agree with you that your proposed changes would be more fun.

I expect that many at bungie would agree.

I guess I'm saying that the way the game works, the way it gets and keeps people hooked and playing, is very intentional. I think they definitely do want to keep it fun, but also keep the game populated. Because, let's be honest, if you weren't playing with a friendly group, it's very likely that you would play much less past the first couple of months. So keeping people engaged is a big part of helping people to "have fun". Because that's the funnest part right -- the experiences you have in-game with friends.

But keeping people in-game often enough to have those experiences is a difficult task. So they give enough reason to keep people playing, even if those systems are less fun than other systems would be.

I expect that as things go it will definitely get better, more enjoyable.

I also expect that the RNG and time gates will not go away. That's part of the design.
