Why RNG-Based Material Farming is Torpedoing Destiny 2 Player Engagement
In essence, Prospero424’s post pinpoints the main problem with Destiny 2’s seasonal content; it now feels like a chore, particularly when it requires acquiring materials through Random Number Generation (RNG). This is quite different from the delight players used to experience when immersing themselves in new content and achieving the unlock of weapons or activities. User MaShinKotoKai echoed this sentiment, expressing his disinterest, “I’ve completed Act 1 and halfway through Act 2’s recipe grind, but I can’t muster up the motivation anymore.” The result? Many players are logging off feeling more annoyed than pleased, questioning why they even started playing in the first place. The enjoyment seems to be overshadowed by the grind, turning their cherished hobby into something that resembles work instead. Discussions surrounding this issue suggest that what was intended as enjoyable gameplay has devolved into a repetitive task, leading us to ponder: where did it go wrong?
