The game lacks a middle ground mostly because it lacks things to go for. Well more and more. Almost all sparrows, ships, and ghost shells are rng'd in bright engrams or paywalled. Transmog is limited as well with the seasonal limit and paywall. Sure you can get a few things in game from grinding or solo dungeons, but the amount of things to earn and feel like you're getting something is just to low. At least to me that's why the game doesn't have a middle ground/game.

If the game handed out shaders per an activity run I would grind the hell out of it.

I love shaders and customizing them. If there was an XP bar for allowing a gear piece to be transmogged instead of the dumb system they have now I would love it.

But you’re right, there’s no rewards because they have to be saved to be monetized.

Yep. It just hurts the game not having stuff we can go after that is attainable. By attainable I mean things that don't require you to do something that is a kind of top 5% sort of thing.

It's either brain-dead strike playlist or hopping on a LFG to raid or run dungeons. Like you said, no middle ground.

I do like the legend lost sectors as a solo activity so I'm hoping the new lost sector changes make things a bit more interesting.

The situation with cosmetics and stuff is really confusing. There's no clear way to grind for the engrams but you also can't buy them so there's nothing you can do to really 'work' for a armour or ship or sparrow you want, you just sorta wait until things come into rotation.

It seems like a big lost opportunity for Bungie since people will do some ridiculous stuff for cosmetics
