I'm of two minds when I read this post. Part of me appreciates the honesty of the suggestions, and the advice. The other part of me realizes that this sums up why Destiny went so bad, so fast, for me. As an older, adult gamer, I like to just sit down and dive into some casual co-op without these headaches. My regular life has enough of that; I don't need it from my gaming. The irony is, I pass most of your tests. I have two high level characters, loads of weapons, I use a mic, I like the idea of following the lead of someone who knows what they're doing, and when I know I'm going to be doing something like this, I can usually set aside 3 or 4 (or more) hours at night. However, most of these "raid group" threads feel like job interviews. People seem to get so intense, so serious, about all this raiding. For me, that just sucks the fun out of the game, and once that happens, I pretty much feel like moving on. In theory, the seemingly altruistic offers of group help are wonderful. But I've had lots of people post replies saying "sure, send me an FR...we'll help ya through the raid". Then night after night, they do the raid with their same regular group. As much as I have loved Destiny, the "social" framework, as far as I'm concerned, is an abject failure. Part of me wishes I'd never played the game just to avoid the letdown of these aspects of the game. To the OP, though, I do appreciate you taking the time to offer this kind of feedback, even if it did make me realize maybe I do just hate the game after all.
