Why Destiny 2’s Dungeon Loot Farming is Driving Guardians Crazy
It’s no surprise that players feel like they’re gambling at a biased casino when the system gives them a 1/6 chance of getting the desired weapon. Freakindon’s struggle vividly illustrates the growing exasperation many Guardians experience. After an astounding 15 attempts without finding the elusive velocity baton, the whole process begins to feel like a cruel trick. To add insult to injury, the odds of finding a weapon with ideal attributes seem almost legendary, creating a 1/216 chance for a specific roll that players are after. This results in players spending countless hours in dungeons, emerging empty-handed and feeling as if they’ve wasted their time. As one player put it, the allure of dungeon farming has been lost; it has transformed from an enticing challenge into a laborious task, causing many to question their continued involvement with the content. Why keep working hard only to end up chasing ghosts?
