Is the Fomo still bad? Is it worth coming back?

[Cloud Dreamer]

So its been over a year since I last played and the fomo just turned me away from the game hard and has been keeping me away. The red war was no longer playable, I was completely lost on what was going on with the story after forsaken, you had to do what I felt like specific things to continue the "story" but I had no idea what I was doing or what was going on. No reason to really care about the world in general. Also bright dust was a pain to get for cosmetics but that's another issue.

So lately I've been kinda thinking about getting back into the game but I don't know if they changed things for the better since then. Is the fomo still just as bad? Is game worth getting back into?

hmm, im kinda finishing gunsmith and zavala bounties in a few ops on 2 toons each evening. the ships and so on are expensive, the shaders not so much. i hit rank 131 season .idk what that says but conversely i cant see cheesing nightfall strikes anytime soon. even the rsaputin stuffs pretty tough with dozens of respawns for pugs.
might wanna see some videos if u dont wanna try it out.
As an aside most of the cycles still behind paywalls if thats what you meant.
im 1803 and got no good armor exotics on my hunter and some on my titan(yes i know, id prefer my warlock but its a sitting duck in jumping maps due to weird abilities without mobility.

fomo is a bit lessened.

no sunsetting and crafted weapon means there's not really anything to cry about missing out on. event weapons are subpar. armor is literally just farm master dungeons or not at all. exotic armor is earnable via solo legend lost sectors or the special public event on neomuna. old exotics and ritual weapons can be bought from the monument of lost light

they've also promised to reintroduce old season pass ornaments, and they have added an exotic mission rotator and one old mission. (and ada is selling old, unobtainable shaders on rotation). also, xur and banshee sells old seasonal weapons sometimes and the exotic mission rotator already features some of the old seasonal weapon.

all you will miss out on nowadays is the seasonal story and season pass cosmetics (i hope they'll eventually add everything back)
