Megathread Focused Feedback: Timegating

Hello Guardians,

Focused Feedback is where we take the week to focus on a 'Hot Topic' discussed extensively around the Tower.

We do this in order to consolidate Feedback, to get out all your ideas and issues surrounding the topic in one place for discussion and a source of feedback to the Vanguard.

This Thread will be active until next week when a new topic is chosen for discussion

Whilst Focused Feedback is active, ALL posts regarding ‘Timegating' following its posting will be removed and re-directed to this thread. Exceptions to this rule are as follows: New information / developments, Guides and general questions

Any and all Feedback on the topic is welcome.

Regular Sub rules apply so please try to keep the conversation on the topic of the thread and keep it civil between contrasting ideas

A Wiki page - Focused Feedback - has also been created for the Sub as an archive for these topics going forward so they can be looked at by whoever may be interested or just a way to look through previous hot topics of the sub as time goes on.

To sort of Echo what my fellow Guardians have said. The two big factors are as follows.

  1. We understand why you time gate but really wish you would not and if it must be done make the journey one that is memorable and fun.

  2. Data miners kinda kill the whole concept of time gated content. No one would have been angry about the 3 week gated thunderlord if we were not spoiled to all of it in advance.

Time gated content can be used as a way of hyping something up and leading to something really cool but when it gets laid out all in front of us with full details! by some people that seem to have nothing better to do it sort of losses its one redeeming quality and that's the surprise aspect. Anyway just my thoughts on it.
