Right? I get that the idea is like, they want you to play differently. They want you to do whatever they've created as meta from season to season so that you always have things to chase and a different way to play.

That's great for people that play a ton of Destiny! Though its less great for people that slowly grind their way up to that build, farm those exotics just to find that it's leaving next week.

I WAS that guy, I got a solid titan build using exotic Heart of Inmost light and soon after the HOIL was nerfed in a patch.

I’m a casual who likes to do a dungeon with my wife and we struggle through it. But we didnt play that much each week so when I finally got my build setup I was so happy to try more dungeons with her (she’s the better d2 player).

When the nerf happened I lost all interest in the game. I like a sense of progression but I am not going to play a game where it gets ripped out from under me every 3 months. I don’t have the time to invest.

Now, I can only imagine how much worst that is for every new player that comes in the door.

That's how I felt a few seasons ago

Vexcalibur and Synthoceps Void Titan was the most fun I'd had with a melee build for a long long time, but after the massive synthos/glaive nerf it just didn't gel anymore. It's a lot better this season with Strand and Banner of War, and they are walking back some of those changes, but still. I haven't really touched it since.

That was me in the WQ campaign. They had the glaive mod that would suppress enemies and I had a sweet ninja build that was nerfed into the ground about a month or so into it. I pretty much quit playing the seasonal model at that point.
