What’s going on with the experience grind in Destiny 2? That’s the question a lot of players have been asking over the long holiday weekend. It all kicked off when an armchair investigator dug into how the game throttles the rate of experience<\/a> gain for players in certain situations. According to the data collected, players that stuck to the seemingly more lucrative XP activities in Destiny 2 may have actually had their XP scaled back by 90% with no notice. Shortly after the publication of the Reddit post, Bungie admitted<\/a> that there were some shenanigans going on. They did have a system in place that essentially penalized players that stuck to easily repeatable content.<\/p>\n

We are not happy with the results, and we\u2019ve heard the same from the community.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It was a stunning turn of events to fans. The speed with which the developer responded to the initial accusations (over a holiday weekend) emphasized the severity of the breach of trust.<\/p>\n

But the issue hasn’t ended yet. Further analysis by fans revealed that after the dynamic XP scaling was removed, Bungie increased XP level requirements<\/a> by 100% across the board. Bungie has also admitted<\/a> this is accurate. Any way you slice it, you’re going to grind for longer than you thought you were going to before all this came out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
