Live service games are vehemently criticized and companies need to rethink & prioritize respectful game design for consumer benefit.
Whether it's entering a zen state during DPS or the rush of dopamine on its completion, Destiny 2's Raids excels in multiplayer teamwork.
The raids are one of the reasons I quit Destiny. You stand in a circle and shoot at a triangle on a wall, have to restart a half dozen times, and then hope the random reward blesses you. Then you realize you aren’t’ having fun but instead are doing a lot of work for nothing. Back when Destiny was at its peak population, trophy data showed that less than 5% of players ran the raid.
Players had high expectations for Destiny’s latest content drop, Destiny 2: Into the Light. Not only did it have to live up to other content added due to a delay, it needed to give players faith the conclusion of the Light and Dark Saga will be worthwhile. - IS
Onslaught is certainly a lot of fun. Plus it's nice having a wide array of extremely useful weapons to grind for.
Yes, with the exception that nobody will play with you if you don't have experience on the raid, so the question is how do you get experience?
Warlocks in Destiny 2 are great for loads of things. Healing? We got that. Awesome PvE action? Sure! Warlock Mobility? Severely lacking.

Looks at Destiny 2 > I used to go into a store to find a game. Now I go into a game and find a store.

That's kind of the GaaS whole thing, though. This is like telling wolves to stop behaving like wolves.
The issue is that journalists mostly ignored this issue as it was arising. Games like Overwatch were considered exciting until lesser news websites and organisations began taking opinion pieces on the problem. From then it’s just gotten worse.
This is why I won't spend money on a lot of these games, not only do they nickle and dime you at every opportunity, but a lot of these games have a very short life span, not many of them survive for multiple years like Fortnite has.
I also feel like most MMOs in generally are more aqueduct in terms of content, for what you pay, I feel like a lot of them give you a decent amount to enjoy.
Gaas the game doesn't end untill people stop paying
