I think you have a point? (Destiny)
You really have to make it clearer what you mean, though, I think. Boy do I have that problem...
But, well, there's some broad categories that might work to the end I think you want, or something similar(-ish), and I'll take the liberty of listing some that seem a little more obvious to me:
- Adding a concrete path to any gear in the game, either supplanting or in addition to random drops, that is reasonably feasible for any player; either endgame content does not drop anything noncosmetic, or it does have drops, but nothing is endgame-exclusive (like, say, Praedyth's Revenge) or mostly/functionally endgame exclusive (such as Etheric Light). Some things are difficult to attain (like, say, Thorn is now) but you can't be entirely screwed out of an item just by bad luck, and it's easier to get to the level you want to be to do any given activity than it is now. The carrot to drive player investment is much as it is now, but rather more savory, and I'd imagine less prone to trap people in an addictive game they don't really like.
- Unlocking all the gear at level twenty; Things turn into a sandbox, although unlocking abilities and upgrading the gear you choose might still be a thing. Technical limitations would probably mean they'd all be available from vendors, but for little or negligible cost, instead of all of them always being directly in your inventory. The carrot to keep player engagement high for the good of the game still exists, but screwing around with all your options has supplanted working towards gaining those options, and, of course, there's still the simple carrot of fun. The gate to any activity is now only skill and time, which is strictly lesser than the current gate of skill, gear, and time.
- Entirely reworking Destiny to be a more normal FPS with minimal or simply token advancement, albeit with a wide variety of options.
I think there's probably people who would like any of those, or some other scenario I haven't described (I'm sure there's plenty), but none of them would satisfy everyone; though that is, of course, obvious. Personally, I'd prefer the first alternative option I set out to what we have now, and maybe even option two, but the first would probably take quite a lot of work, and the second is clearly majorly counter to Bungie's intentions; obviously not to even touch the third.
So, by all means, continue to critique it and make your points as normal, but I'd be curious to know just what your ideal version of Destiny is, and what your ideal feasible goal for Bungie to move towards as they continue the franchise would be? Such as, say, what you think Destiny 2 or even 3 should be, and how Bungie could smoothly move there without a massive upheaval of what's already been laid down?
