So, if you’re a big part of theย Destiny 2ย community,ย thenย there’s a good chanceย thatย you know who the streamer Datto is.ย With some of the recentย changesย that Bungie announced to go live whenย The Final Shapeย releases, Datto has realized that he might just have talked thousands of Guardians into dismantling gear that, until now, was entirely useless. Loads ofย Destiny 2ย players have been goingย absolutelyย wild on Twitter/X, and I honestly can’t blame them. But really, some of their comments have me cracking up.
Datto Cancels Destiny 2 Vault Cleaning Season Forever
Datto’s pretty good at everything ‘Destiny,’ but one of those thingsย just soย happens to beย helping Guardians clear out their cluttered vaults.ย Not only is he great at it, but heย actuallyย has quite a few videos postedย for the exact purpose of cleaningย out other Guardians’ Vaults andย gettingย rid of sunset weapons.ย Needless to say, players are less than pleased now that Bungie decided to sunset sunsetting.
Honestly, Datto couldn’t have known this was going to happen, and it’sย obviousย that heย definitelyย feels some form of regret. Sure, loads of us have been personally victimized by Datto’s Vault Cleaning methods, but if you stop to really think about it, Datto kind of screwed himself over too. Look at all the Power-Limited gear that he probably dismantledย ofย his ownย as well.ย Let’s face it, Datto himself hasย evenย fallen victim to his ways, and theย Destiny 2ย community isย definitelyย here to let him know about it.
Now, let’s take a look at the other side of it.ย Yes, Bungie threw usย forย a loop with this oneย and nobodyย (Likeย seriously,ย nobody) saw it coming, but that isn’t necessarily the worst thing.ย Look at all the Guardians whoย justย couldn’t let go of those sunset weaponsย thatย they loved so much.ย Many players, like the hundreds commenting on Datto’s post, are jumping for joy because they kept theirย weaponsย even when Datto told them to ditch them. These “hoarders” might have been onto something.
However, there’s another angle from which we can look at this.ย Think back toย when all the legacy gear was still active and being used. What were the best perks available then?ย Surelyย notย anything that compares to theย awesomeย originย traits and perks we have now.ย Maybe, just maybe, Datto’s Vault Cleaning season was a blessing in disguise.ย Even with a higher Power Level, these weaponsย wouldn’t have beenย worthย muchย compared to more recent weapons with the rolls they had on them back then.ย Now, we all have more vault space to fill our arsenals with bigger, better, andย muchย more aggressive weapons.
Should we be thanking Datto? It’s totally up to you, but I would. Bungie’s doing their best to up their game and make Destiny 2 enjoyable again, and I think they’re doing a fine job of it.
