And so my days of Destiny are becoming shorter.

I already explained how disappointing the game is, so I'm not going to reiterate myself. But now, I am not playing Destiny because I am having fun, I play it because I truly hope bungie will make it better. But so far, I don't know what is happening with the company I loved. They seem to have lost their creative direction. Very poor decisions were made and there was a lack of clear communication during the players and the company. It's hard to see such a jarring shift between halo's epicness and Destiny's mediocrity. I have not beaten the raid yet, I almost did. But even if I did, what's the point? To get better armor? For what, crucible, where kills depend on lag rather than equipment and skill? And from what I keep hearing, the story was originally going to be much much different....much cooler. But that was cut because it was too good. What happened to you guys? I mean...you have to be asking yourselves "what the -blam!- have we done with this game...." right? Or do you only care about squeezing as many pennies out of us as you can at the cost of producing quality games? I can't do it anymore. I can't handle the deception, the misleading promises, the nerfed content...Destiny feels like a free-to-play game. It's incomplete....until we purchased the dlc. If you cared about giving the players what they deserve, you would make ALL of that DLC free. No this is not satire, it is not a troll. We deserve the rest of the game. If you truly love your community, you would twist activision's arms until they broke and let you give us our game. You would also beg Marty and Joe Staten to return and fire the asshole who came up with the grimoire system. Hire more writers, perhaps some of us in the community could take over. I'm being serious, There are those of us who are brimming with ideas for story direction. I don't know what sort of drama is happening at Bungie studios, but get your shit together. I will continue to be a loyal bungie fan.....But Destiny is losing me. I am at the point where I often ask myself "why am I playing this?!?" The next step is to set it aside and wait for the day you finally get your shit together. EDIT: To clarify, I am not going to be leaving the forums. I love this community. So for those of you who dislike my presence, tough.

    *fistbump* Yeah, it's a shame, right? Mine are shortening too. In fact, after I close this tab, I think I'm done with checking the site for hope every day. I'm trying for a 'No Outrage October' at the moment, so taking a philosophical look at it... I hit Destiny pretty hard the first couple weeks. Got a lot of fun playtime out of it. Then a lot of frustrating grind. Then I realized that I didn't actually have to grind and could just do the raid with my mates and that's really all that's of interest anymore... And sure, I was visiting the forum and website multiple times a day, desperately looking for some sign that the fixes were coming, that the problems were going to be solved, that maybe the story might get un--blam!-ed into something compelling... well. Now it's time to hang that up too, and just give it til the DLC drops or something. Maybe they'll run another event or two in-between, giving us re-skinned missions for some new faction or old faction or whatever recycled mission helps the willing think there's something new to do. Who knows. Who cares? There'll be Shadow of Mordor, Alien: Isolation, Sleeping Dogs and GTA 5 remasters, Borderlands, Evil Within, Lords of the Fallen, Dark Souls DLC, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Warlords of Draenor, the new Revan expansion for SWTOR, Assassin's Creed: Unity, Far Cry 4, Witcher 3, The Division, Dying Light, Evolve, Bloodborne, Mass Effect 4, Mirror's Edge 2, Final Fantasy 15... Man, it is about to RAIN gaming greatness every month this next year, and you'll forget Destiny was ever a thing. In some ways, that's sad... it had the potential to be a place you'd wanna damn near live, something living and evolving and immersive... But it didn't meet that potential. It's kind of like any relationship that fails. Best thing to do is move on. Props to the Guardians who stick around and try to make this shambles of a relationship work, but you'll probably be happier if you go on a break and give the relationship some space. Some distance away to see if you're not just caught up in what you were hoping for, or if you actually want to go back to what's actually here, now that all the flaws are known.
