Taking away content is extremely bad.

It's way worse because all the shit they replaced it with is rushed absolute dogshit, though. Destiny 1 enemies and maps were extremely well done. The four base enemy races each played well together and used the maps to make strikes inherently replayable, because they were thought out and planned carefully. Modifiers and nightfalls worked extremely well to add variety, because the underlying principles were sound.

Early Destiny 2 was worse, but fine. Then they pulled the trigger on the "live service content treadmill" model, adding a constant churn of new trash that wasn't thought out or planned at all. They removed everything with a thread of foresight to throw any random trash they could think of against the wall at you in its place. The enemies are fucking terrible, the maps are fucking terrible, the game modes are fucking terrible. Oh, and we're going to force you to use specific guns to even be able to do damage against some enemies in some game modes because fuck you.
