Bungie is Officially Un-Fucking Destiny 2

My prediction was correct, be focusing so heavily on the casual audience, Bungie decimated their fan base.  Top streamers wont stream Destiny 2 because viewership has disintegrated.  Planet Destiny has discontinued their podcasts.  Average daily player counts have drop to 400k or lower, while on Destiny 1 it was more like 3 million. With all these brutally obvious indicators that Bungie has failed to aquire a casual player phenomenon (See Minecraft). Bungie has thrown in the towel, and has conceded that they need to focus the game design on their original player base: hardcore Action/Rpg afificianados  and competitive PVP players.  "Cosmo" Bungie's Community relations rep made a post on Bungie's blog listing their most demaded changes to Destiny 2.  View the list here:  <a href="http://oyster.ignimgs.com/wordpress/write.ign.com/178374/2018/03/Destiny-2-demand-list.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-55" alt="Destiny 2 demand list" src="http://oyster.ignimgs.com/wordpress/write.ign.com/178374/2018/03/Destiny-2-demand-list-300x141.jpg" width="300" height="141" /></a>

You can see the top demand is fixing the weapon slot system to Primary, Secondary, Heavy.   Snipers and Shotguns will go back to the secondary slot.  You see, snipers and shotguns (and Fusion rifles) are all one hit kill weapons which take skill to use.  In an effort to coddle scrubs (ie Casual players)  Bungie took those dangerous toys away from competitive players and put them in the "Power weapon" slot , and limited the ammo in PVP to one player per team very 2 minutes.  That resulted in the most boring , bland, unexciting PVP matches ever to be streamed.  Viewers left in the tens of thousands, Streamers lost thousands of dollars, and here we are.    Bungie knows all this bad press and ill will will hamper their ability to sell us a $40 expansion to Destiny 2, so now they want top course correct.  Wow, if only Bungie had the interests of their dedicated fanbase at heart, we might have been able to transfer all of our exotic weapons and armor from Destiny 1..........................

All in all, I like destiny 2. I like the new class abilities, I like the Clan System.  If they add those great features of Destiny 1 again, we will have a truly great game.  Lets hope these changes will bring back old players, and bring in new players who will stay for the long haul......................

Phase 1 of these changes was the "Go Fast " Update 1.1.4

here is my assessment so far :
