I seriously don't get some of this (Destiny)

As I said to him though, I do think game designers should have some say in how their game is played. Especially in this age of easy updates. If something breaks an encounter then fixing it is not automatically bad and not automatically tied to the investment system like Cody argued.

I think you're right in most cases, but when the game is so strictly tied to the investment system like Destiny is, I don't think it's a matter of Bungie deciding how they want you to play it. It's pretty much all about the investment system at this point, because they don't want you powder puffing your way through the hardest challenge the game has to offer. They don't want you getting easy rewards. Same goes for Queen's Wrath. Easy rewards? Can't have that. Bye bye Ascendant things coming from scrapping the repetitive armor. Loot caves? We want your grind to be long and drawn out, sorry.
