I'm so tired of coming onto this forum and seeing nothing except people saying how farming is "ruining the game" or how the whole game was just a let down. This forum is to find others in the destiny community and interact, not repost and complain about the same thing that a million of other people already have complained about. I have been trying to use this forum form for that reason but no one really sees due to the spam of meaningless "Kill the Treasure Cave" threads. So I have decided to give my opinions and see what everyone thinks. Farming: Everyone has heard of it. Yet people still post about how much they hate it and how much it ruins the game every 30 minutes like its something new. Now keep in mind everything said in this post is all my opinion so feel free to reply just try not to do so in a mature manor. In no way shape or form does farming ruin a game. Every MMO I have every played involves lots and lots of farming and or grinding. I personally enjoy grinding more than farming but I would never look at a farmer and say they are below me. We have all heard "How can you just shoot into a cave? That just ruins the gaming experience!" well for you maybe but sadly (and I mean this in the nicest way possible) no one cares what you think. Everyone enjoys playing games in their own way and some do not mind just shooting in a cave if it means they have a chance to get rewarded. But good news, if someone does farm it doesn't even effect you! In some cases it can even help you! Lets say you are alone one night and want to do some strike so you get matched up with 2 random people. Thanks to the farming that you hate they could be not very good at the game and still have nice weapons meaning they will be of some use during the strike! While in PVP people may argue that they get guns they don't deserve, I don't see why that matters. As much as you may "hate Destiny" you cannot argue that in PVP the weapons are all very balanced, so even if they do have a weapon a bit better than yours from farming it isn't like they should be mowing you down 24/7 and according to "you" farmers have no skill! Making them a sitting duck in PVP good weapon or not. Reading this you may think wow he must just farm all day, but I actually enjoy doing strikes and missions much more. I have farmed a little but personally it is not for me. Once again these are my opinions! Don't murder me over them but please do let me know yours in a orderly fashion. I will say that I completely agree that level should 100000% impact drop rate. No way should killing level 3's give you the same chance of getting a legendary as running strike after strike on the hardest difficulty. I really hope bungie does change this aspect of the game. RNG: While it might be a very frustrating concept it can also be a very interesting one. We all know the pain of getting that beautiful purple engram and sprinting over to the Cryptarch just to be handed a blue or in some cases a green.... But is it really the end of the world? Yes it may be unfair that you can grind hours and get nothing while someone can get one lucky drop day one and get an amazing gun but that's why it's called RANDOM. So what if you don't have all purple? Maybe not even all blue! Guess what it's week TWO. Not even a month has gone by and people are crying that they don't have maxed amazing gear. I would bet that many of the people who complain about that are the same ones who complain about destiny being short or having nothing to do.... They would read this post and say "Well yea I can keep trying to get the weapons but thats boringggggg". Guess what you are playing and MMO they are grindy! Get over it! And if that isn't your thing then don't play, no one is making you. And if you do still enjoy the game and just want the gear but hate grinding, do what you like! It's a game its supposed to be fun. You don't need amazing gear straight away! Have fun being the underdog and having to use strategy rather than just brute force while doing strikes or even a raid. No one is going to take the game from you (well maybe your parents) so just enjoy it and you will get the items you want so badly eventually! This game isn't a beat in a weekend kind of thing no matter what some people on the forums say! There is so much to do.... So I ask you to really think about this and if my opinion is the opposite of your don't just shut me down... think about it. Hell I'm not saying I'm right this is just an opinion. I just want to see this game have a helpful community, not one in constant war. Lastly, it is very obvious that these forums are dominated by negative comments, but that's how it always is. Those who aren't enjoying it are mad that other people are having fun and try to drag them down to their level. So start posting more about cool things you saw or did or just helping people out. Let's try to get a better community going.... If you liked this please do share so we can get more people reading it....

  • Destiny is pretty sweet when you take into account what it actually is. That said, the forums are polluted with trolls and haters, and people who didn't pay attention or understand the press releases. It is lacking a bit, but with everything that is coming, destiny is currently my favorite game.

    • The problem is that the game is entirely based on luck. Not being high enough level to do certain things because I'm not lucky is something that is very annoying. But even though I hate this, I still feel that this is a great game, and I am very happy with it.

      • Gameplay: Great Story: Good, but the big story elements are all on the website, leaving people confused as to why things came to be, who key characters are, and what exactly is going on. Content: Lacking. Personally, I think I spent too much for this game. If the game was $10-$15 cheaper, I'd understand the lack of content and the dlc approach. As it stands, it's good, but it's not $60 good.

      • People only say something when they really really like something or really really dislike something. And in all honesty if you like it you usually don't care to say anything anyway. Or consider this... 800mil dollars made (assume 100 per game... Even though it's 60) 8 million copies. And we have lets round up to 1k people who bitch every day... Not even a percent.

        • if you just play the game then everything will come and thats including exotics legendaries whatever. thats why everything is random as -blam!-. theres no rhyme or reason to get shit aside from just playing as the game intended.

              The fans give it a 10/10. Haters give it a 0/10. For me, the pvp is fun, although a little unbalanced at times. The campaign is crap. Peter Dinklage has given his worst performance in this game. The game is very pretty. I think it's 5/10.

            • I mean most people have to farm since the cryptarch likes to toss any legendary engrams we worked so hard for in the toilet

            • I have to disagree completely. People just get to upset when things don't go their way and when something isn't what they want. The game is good albeit pretty grindy and is fairly fun.

            • It is awesome, people on this forum just like bit picking because they expected 100% to be available to public on release day...

            • Worse and if you think this place is full of fanboy trolls you should meet the Cryptarch.

            • No game is _ever_ as bad as its forums make it look. Outside of niche indie games with limited exposure to commenters, a game's forum will always be filled with complaints from people who are dissatisfied with the game. It's just natural for people with something to complain about to be more vocal than those who are contented, and so there's always a negative bias on gaming forums (particularly for new releases). And then, of course, you add trolls into the mix, and the result is that a game's forum will always make it look like the worst game in existence. Never, ever, use a game's forum to judge it. :)

              • Only problem with RNG is you do 30 mins of a strike and get a mote of light and nothing else.

                • Look at the forum for any mmo currently in active service. Take what you see as absolute evidence of the broader playerbase's opinion, and then explain to me why mmos still manage to maintain 1kk+ players for 4-5 years at a time. Forums are the vocal minority, and an even smaller sliver of hardline fans. Nothing more. The vast majority of players are out there, silently, but very happily, enjoying the game. And the last thing Bungie want to do is listen to any of what's being said here.

                  • Trust me, this forum has THE most positive feedback for this game. Every other forum, blog, article, and YouTube video absolutely hates this game.
