Fingers crossed that Destiny 3 is good, but definitely not pre-ordering anything.

I'm still annoyed that there even was a Destiny 2, when the first one was announced I was promised a shooter in a persistent world with mmo progression that would be supported for years, not a series of sequels I had to buy again and make a new character.

  This was the biggest con for me. Earning all of my gear in D1 then not having those available for import into D2 was really upsetting. The D1 weapons felt great. It's a shame Bungie keeps leaving gear they designed so far behind every iteration. I wish they at least added something like transmog. I remember going to D1 panel during PAX West one year and Luke mentioning that there were many WoW players that worked at Bungie. I really wonder WTF is going on over there lately.

  It's the reason I quit playing about 7 months ago. I have a _lot_ of raids under my belt. I used to speedrun them with randos for fun. I have yet to attempt the latest raid because I thought to myself: "When Destiny 3 comes out, this won't matter." https://raid.report/pc/4611686018467283801 https://raid.report/pc/4611686018467283801 The only way they can bring me back is by announcing a rename of Destiny 2 to Destiny, and confirm there will be no stand-alone sequels. The Destiny universe is my favorite in-game universe. I could go on for hours! Did Rasputin cripple the Traveller because he was going to abandon us like he did the Fallen? Is Rasputin benevolent or indifferent? I hope dearly they try to bring me back. I miss it.

    I would be happy if they rename Destiny 3 to "Destiny United" or similar, and just allow us to import our old D1 and D2 characters (weapons, armor, etc) into it all at once. But the constant, repeated trashing of earned stuff (and recently, the massive spike in grind-wasting-time required) turned me off. Warmind + Forsaken was peak Destiny 2, but with Black Armory they're already sliding away from that again. I don't blame Bungie for it. I get that everyone on Reddit complained there wasn't enough time wasting, so Bungie added a bunch of time wasting, to make Reddit happy. But it's just too much. I can't imagine what Destiny will look like in 6 months if they keep on this path. "Do 100 hours of homework first, and then we'll let you play with the cool thing you just bought".

+1 to this. The pre-ordering based on my D1 experience really bit me hard.

  (imo) Bungie seems to really get what makes shooters fun, but has no idea why people like MMO's. Both 1 and 2 had to be released with the MMO aspects severely lacking and the community to criticize them before they got fixed. I wouldn't be surprised if it happens again.
