As a long-time Destiny 2 player, I must confess that this season has left me quite puzzled and somewhat disenchanted. The fervor surrounding the new armor sets from the Eververse store has reached an all-time high, and as I navigate through the game’s vast universe, I can’t help but feel a sense of overwhelm.
From the Plague Doctor armor to the Street Fighter helmets, it seems that every corner of Destiny 2 is brimming with eye-catching sets. Yet, this influx of new gear doesn’t quite sit right with me—it feels more like a distraction than an addition to the game I once knew and loved.
The sentiment among many players, myself included, is that we are growing increasingly concerned about the direction Destiny 2 is heading in, and the heavy emphasis on monetization is at the heart of this issue. It’s hard not to miss the days when armor was something earned through gameplay rather than purchased with real-world currency.
I can’t help but wonder if we’ve lost sight of what made Destiny 2 great in the first place: a sense of accomplishment that came from overcoming challenges and being rewarded for our efforts. I hope the developers take note of these concerns and find a way to strike a balance between monetization and maintaining the essence of the game that has captivated so many players for years.
