Xur is the one who finally broke my spirit.

Gather round and listen to my tale of woe I'm a lvl25, going thru the same unrewarding daily bounties/loot cycle as everyone else, but still generally having fun and hoping for that next big score. I get an exotic bounty for Super Good Advice early last week so I have to wait for Xur to show up on the weekend to continue. No biggie. Friday comes and I have exactly 13 coins, and I must choose between the MG piece or that spiffy Titan helmet. I go MG piece, figuring it'll be easy to score just one more coin. Play all night, no coin. Play like 6 hours Saturday, still no coin. Finally on Sunday the first Public Event I do scores me a coin. You may see where this is going but I didn't. I rush back to the tower and lo and behold, Xur is gone. I frantically run all around the tower figuring maybe he just moved... no luck. I resort to the ancient codex known as Google and discover that weekend means Friday and Saturday only in -blam!-ing Destinyland. WHAT THE -blam!- And then, I just felt... emptiness. All that work for no reward finally killed my addiction. I just have no desire to play anymore. I could tolerate all the abuse up until that last straw. There is just too much bullshit artificially extending the game. The miserly loot system. The weekly marks cap. The goddamn Cryptarch kicking you in the balls. And Xur, Mr More Days Off Than Congress. The game is indeed fun to play over and over for a while, much like Halo. I think that was the idea behind the game: "people love playing Halo missions over and over, so let's give them a reason!" Unfortunately it is just not the same. For one thing, Patrols really need a difficulty select. I hope you guys at Bungie see this and maybe it can explain the reason so many people are being turned off. Take it to a meeting or something. I'm not mad or anything, but I just felt like explaining my sorry tale and why I now just can't play anymore. It's just too much abuse. I've loved you since downloading the Marathon demo over AOL on release day, Bungie, but you are Ray Rice. :P EDIT: Thank you for all the likes and positive comments!!! :D They far outweigh all the idiot fanboy trolls. Good to know so many others are as annoyed by this App Store F2P bullshit as I am. NEW EDIT: I was actually still playing a bit with my friends because they wanted to do Queen's Wrath for shards.I had renewed purpose for my casual gaming. I only got to play 2 or 3 missions and now they killed that too. STOP ABUSING ME BUNGIE :'(
