Today, via a new blog post, Bungie announced that they will be shutting down the popular Treasure Cave exploit. Bungie released the following statement:
“shooting at a black hole for hours on end isn’t our dream for how Destiny is played. Our hope is that social engagement in public spaces is only one part of the Destiny experience. Expect changes soon which decrease the efficiency of cave farming and correspondingly increase engram drops from completing activities.”
Shortly after the statement, a hot fix will be pushed to the game increasing the spawn times from 6 seconds to 40 seconds.
