Forbes Technology contributor Paul Tassi shares his insights on the latest developments in the gaming industry.
Bungie has made a significant change to Destiny 2 by deleting the easy encore power farm that allowed players to skyrocket their power levels and gain access to high-tier loot. This decision was likely made to address concerns about exploitation of game mechanics, as the farm had become a speed-run for many players.
The issue with Bungie’s reaction time is that it took three full days for them to disable the exploit, allowing some players to take advantage of the easy power leveling option before it was removed. This has created an unintended consequence by splitting the community into two groups: those who were able to farm the power and those who were not.
In essence, this move highlights problems with a system where the primary goal is to level up quickly for the purpose of gaining access to better loot. By removing the easy farming option, Bungie has effectively created an unbridgeable gap between players who took advantage of the exploit and those who did not.
This development may lead to further issues in the gaming community as players may seek out alternative methods to gain power levels quickly, potentially creating more problems with game balance.
