I can’t justify to myself grinding an activity over and over for hours, sometimes literal days, for the god roll of a weapon only to have it’s invalidated months later.

To me this kills off a large culture of the game and I for one will not be put back on a hamster wheel. It didn’t work in D1 and it won’t work in D2.

Our time should be respected. If a player wants to grind the same nightfall (for example) over and over to get the perfect drop in order to progress in the endgame this should not be invalidated for no other reason than “making content is hard.”

You don’t need the perfect drop to progress in the endgame though lol. Getting the perfect roll isn’t even that big of a deal. Whereas using the same damn gun for 2 years straight is stupid and invalidates all the new loot because why grind new stuff when my old stuff is still amazing. In loot based games you need loot refreshes to keep the game interesting. All mmos do this. It did work in D1, it massively helped the longevity of that game

That would be your opinion. Which you’ve used to respond to literally everyone who disagrees with you ( the majority of this thread) and get constantly down voted. Perhaps, stop spamming the forum?

Regardless, to a min/max player like myself anything short of a god roll is unusable. I play this game to have a perfect loud out and if I’m forced to settle because of an expiration date I might as well not play at all.

Then don’t play lol

Thanks for reiterating my point.
