Destiny is not made for anyone with a job or family

I stuck with Destiny for a while. I defended Bungie through many changes and updates. But as time goes by I see a pattern here. A pattern that is edging me, and others like me, out of Destiny entirely. Who are "other like me"? People with careers and families. I feel like Bungie is looking at a small audience with many of the patches. I think Bungie is slowly edging out the gaming community that has money to spend; ya know, people who work full time jobs and have families that do not have 6+ hours solid several times a week to play this. I wish I could get my expansion money back because I am certain not to play it now. I hate that I fed Bungie money to do this to us. They will not get one more dime from me now that I know that they do not care about my type of gamer. They apparently cater to the "I can game for 10 hours a day" crowd. Yeah, I know, people are going to jump all over this and claim they are super elite gamers that got to level 28 and defeated VOG on level 30 with under 20 hours of gameplay. But ya know what? Ya'll are not the majority of players. I congratulate your gaming powers, but realistically you are not the market share. And before people start calling me a casual gamer or farmer, use the Bungie app and Xbox tools to actually look at my stats. I am not a farmer, I am not a "casual gamer". I just happen to have a job and a family so I can do things like drop $90 on a game and its DLC. I feel totally excluded from this game because I simply CANNOT play for hours and hours on end every day. I can do 3-4 hrs a day on weekdays and 6+ on weekends, but [b]every update makes me feel more and more like Bungie is making sure that if I am not truly "hardcore" AND jobless I can't enjoy Destiny.[/b] When friends or coworkers ask me about Destiny I tell them it isn't enjoyable unless you can sink an incredible amount of time constantly into the game. If you have any life at all, the game quickly becomes boring and unenjoyable because all the patches are about catering to this small community of people who have tons of time to play. This prevents most people who have families from even giving it a try. Bungie needs to get its priorities straight. Until they do, I am done with Destiny entirely. I will gladly spend my hard earned money giving it to Ubisoft, Rockstar or Bioware who seem to understand people have to have a job to pay for their game content.

  • Not really following you here. The way I see it, if your goal is just leveling to 30, it's just luck and playing the raid once a week. You can also do te weekly heroic for the strange coins but that's just once (1-3) a week. Unless you're grinding for marks, nothing really takes time except waiting for a decent roll. Basically what I'm saying here is that this game, if nothing else, was built for people who don't have time. In any other game like this,(roughly) you wouldn't be getting legendary and exotic gear in the first 2 months. Typically, a loot/quest game will have certain missions that hve a chance to drop or reward certain pieces of gear. Seeing as there are a very limited number of missions in this game, even with patrol(patrol missions a joke beside the ones that you just kill enemies....sad) bungie decided to get "creative" and just make those same activities offer pretty much every and any piece of gear in the game besides raid stuff. An really the only thing keepin the raid from being time efficient is lack of matchmaking. I could see not wanting us to use it at first but since info on the raid has become more commonly known, matchmaking wouldn't be unusable. Anyway this game doesn't actually take any time. You can level to 24 in like 20 game hours easily and the rest is just more luck and raiding. If they wanted to cater to people who play more, there'd be tons more content, gear would be harder to get, and id be able to earn marks and strange coins to my hearts content without waiting for weekly resets.
