It seems I'm having a very different experience with the game than most...
I'm a software developer in my 30s. I work all day, come home, hit the gym or go for a bike ride, make dinner, and take care of the dog. After dinner, I boot up the PS4, create a party with 4 to 6 of my friends... work friends, childhood friends, friends I've just met... We hop in a PS4 party, then we all load up the game. We battle through all of the game's missions together. We take on the strikes. We take on the queens wrath missions. We're working on building up our light levels. We do patrols and bounties, and we all enter the Crucible together.
I am having an absolute blast playing Destiny with my friends. Maybe the difference is that I have a dedicated set of friends whom I can play the game with that make it so much fun, but reading through this board is very interesting to me. It seems that many of the people writing here are having a very different experience than I am having. Is it simply because I'm playing with my friends that I find what the developers at Bungie have given us so entertaining?

While I wholeheartedly agree with your comment on Destiny being much more fun with friends and in smaller doses, as a developer doesn't some of the design decisons seem baffulling to you. Things like an in-game Grimore, a better designed RNG(even Bioware's notorious store RNG has better odds) and matchmaking for public events. I find multiplayer odd as well. The Maps are all amazing as expected from Bungie, but again the RNG raises it's ugly head and no Private matches(remove rewards and exp. I've seen it done before). I'm not trying to troll but as Design students my friend and I are just stunned at the lack of some basic core things. Just like to get your thoughts.
