Destiny is a part time job. Log in daily to get shards in the daily public event and daily story mission: 1 character and maybe you can do it in 20 minutes but you really need 3 characters to get max shards so that's at least 60 minutes. An then there's crucible/ and the vanguard bounties each day. So add another hour PER character each day. So just that could be 4-5 hrs daily. Then comes Tuesdays. Weekly nightfall- maybe 45 minutes per character Weekly strike for coins - maybe an hour since they don't have Element burn And the raid maybe 2 hours per character depending on setup, organization with friends, and skill levels. We can say 3 characters on both weeklies (strike and nightfall) is almost 6 hours plus another 6 for 3 raiding and add the daily on that day so just one day could be 15 hours. So it's ALOT of time. You can says that's good to keep folks entertained or bad because it's hard to keep up. And I say 3 characters because that's the only way to get the maximum amount of materials to stay competitive in leveling up your weapons and gear. It's ALOT of work.
