Bungie is taking away my reasons to play Destiny

Bungie seems hell bent on drag out this game as long as possible to keep people grinding, so people don't realize the lack of end game content it has, minus the one raid in order to keep people playing until the next expansion comes out. They to want to get rid of every way for obtaining gear that doesn't require spending countless hours of grinding on the hopes of getting Ascendant materials or any good loot. The special events are far and in-between one another and they have their fair share of glitches, like continuously getting Salvage bounties when I have not been able to play it for a week, or on the second day of the Queen’s bounties to get ones for winning in PvP with her shader, emblem, etc. Even though I think it’s impossible to reach Rank 3 with her to get the shader, when you can’t get much reputation with her to begin with. I can understand getting rid of the loot cave. I had fun with it, but it was a tad game breaking. At the same time Bungie doesn't want you to level up your gear at a reasonable pace and want you to spend days if not weeks grinding on the hopes of getting Legendary loot or buying them with marks to dismantle to level up your current set. Taking away Ascendant materials from the Queen's gear took away all incentive I had in doing those bounties and missions. Destiny doesn’t even give better gear from completing challenging strikes or missions on harder difficulties. That would give me an incentive to grind those instead of a cave. There isn't much to do in the endgame of Destiny than to just grind to get gear and spend much longer afterwards to level it up. We have one raid to do and that is it. Bungie even put a decent portion of the story content; which should have been in the main game to begin with as DLC for the future to keep people playing and to make more money. In my opinion half of this game’s content should be leveling up your character to level 20 and completing the story and the rest of the game’s content should be endgame, but Destiny is severely lacking the other half of its game. Ever since I've reached the soft level cap of 20 in Destiny all I've been doing is grinding PvP and Strikes for marks to buy gear and complete bounties for Faction reputation. Once I got my full set of Legendary gear with one Exotic weapon and armor piece I've just been back to the grind to get more materials to level up my gear. Without the endgame grind there isn't much left in terms of content for Destiny. I don’t see myself playing this game in the long run anymore. Over the next few weeks other games are going to be coming out and I’ll probably stop playing Destiny all together. I just don’t see myself coming back to this game.
