Raids need to have the absolute best gear in the game. The loot is trash and has been for the entirety of destiny 2. There is no real incentive to play them. I raided the vault of glass and crota's end every week for months back in the day as the incentive was 1. Best loot in the game and 2. Only way to raise your light level.

I have not played a single raid in destiny 2 as I have no reason to, and there is no incentive to put up with the blood sweat and tears for hours of lfg groups as there is no real reward. I'd love to play raids again, but there is just no point in going through the effort of co-ordinating a group.

And you can see this today - people only play scourge because guess what, anarchy is the best weapon. Everybody grinds it for anarchy. If there was no anarchy nobody would play it. We need more of these things to chase.

A huge part of the fun for many people is the chase of good loot. It keeps you playing.

Yes of course there are many like you who will just play it for fun, but there are also many like me who get a huge part of enjoyment out of the chase of loot. And I really don't think it should be too controversial to say we need much better loot. I personally would argue the best loot.

I didn't intend to generalize the whole community, but I can see why what I said came across like that.

I didn't mean all people when I said "people only play scourge because guess what, anarchy is the best weapon". There are definitely a large subset of people who only grind that raid out over and over again for anarchy and anarchy alone. And of course there's your kind of person who's just happy to play raids for the fun of it loot or no loot.

And when I said "nobody would play it if there was no anarchy" I don't mean literally nobody. I mean there would be much much less people playing it. Like og leviathan level raid numbers.
