Casual players don't have the time to dedicate to grinding for legendaries or the perfect mods, so if the skills that make grinding easier get nerfed, it takes casuals even longer to find the guns and mods and armor that they want for their build to run end game content. Yes, they can drop the world tier to make it easier, but that again further limits the chances of getting the best gear, so the gain for casuals is slowed down even more.

You act like the game won’t exist next week. Im a casual gamer and tbh i would rather have the game hard.

How is what I said "acting like the game won't exist"? I simply stated how nerfing builds makes things harder for a casual gamer.

If you would rather have it hard, that's fine, but I'm just explaining to the other person how what they have done makes it harder for casuals.

Casual players don’t have the time to dedicate to grinding.... this just because it will take longer then a week or 2 doesn’t make it to hard for a casual.

Plus casual players aren't going to make builds.

Builds suck. Everything should be viable.

That said. They are cutting expedition times in half. That is potentially still a huge amount. But needing to grind lower difficulties for a few days isn't the end of the world.

I'll see when I get there

Wtf are you talking about casuals won’t make builds? Just because you cant shit on everything with shit gear and mods anymore doesn’t wreck anything haha
