Are you also starting to hit a wall?
Been playing since the Beta and now I begin seriously to struggle with the missing content of the game. I have 2 high level Chars and did the VoG, Strikes and all Missions of this game countless times. Now I'm struggling with the boredom of doing the exact same stuff over and over again.
I'm wondering how do you guys feel about it and how do you cope with it?

Wow that many answers to my post… I really struck a nerve. Yes you are right I didn’t beat the VoG on hard yet. But why should I? The main reason for doing it was removed (since vex was rendered useless. Good job @Bungie).
PvP: I won’t go into an argument about it. There are enough threads about why the PvP isn’t great. Including one of my own about balancing issues and separating the two worlds of PvP and PvE. The PvP I do only because I’m forced to by an exotic bounty. I abandoned another because it was too tedious. Although I’m not even sure I’ll go through with it because the reward will be the “awesome” bad juju which is still bad juju at the moment.
So yeah its only daily,nighfall,weekly and public events at the moment. Ok one more VoG because I promised a friend. But the raid ain’t that great to repeat it multiple times and it takes too long to complete. And also the trouble of having 6 people ready... No. It really is no fun. Especially without matchmaking. And with the devs patching out any creative attempt of the players. (Not even talking about the pushing issue).
As many here I fear the DLCs will be too thin. I fear because I also see the potential of this game which is currently crushed only by bad design choices. The queens missions were a slap in the face by the way. No one was fooled here.
Did I give up? Not yet. I’m listening to creative ideas from the players here. Perhaps Bungie is also listening.

For some reason, people seem incapable of liking the game and simultaneously acknowledging its' flaws. I don't get it. While I can feel it looming nearby, I haven't hit the wall 100% yet. It helps that I tend to get lost in randomness while on Patrol. I can't count how many times I have spent an hour farming for mats I didn't need in the slightest just because a buddy and I were in an engaging conversation. Some days I don't feel like playing on my Titan after I do the bounties though, so I created a Hunter and a Warlock. I got enough Hunter gear while playing as a Titan that I jumped from LVL 20 to 25 in seconds on my Hunter and I have Legendary boots for my Warlock (Radiance is actually pretty cool). I don't play the PVP either. I don't mean to pretend that I have inside knowledge or anything, but it seems to me that Bungie was banking on this game's PVP being Halo popular. I'm betting they thought it would pad the lack of content to some degree. Hell, I played over 8000 online matches of Halo 3 and Reach, so I get where they might have gotten that idea. However, it doesn't do it for me. While it can have moments of fun, the netcode in this game is hands down, no contest, the absolute WORST I have ever seen. I am not exaggerating in the slightest. This makes Battlefield 4's worst day look like like sunshine and rainbows. I'm sure someone will blame my internet connection, but I have done everything in my power to troubleshoot and I do not have this issue with any other real time application. I posted a detailed thread about it in #Help with test results to many different US servers measuring both bandwidth and line quality but no employee ever responded in any way. It helps that my girlfriend, her son, and my best friend all play this game with me and are all at varying levels of progression. That helps me not feel like the game is becoming stagnant. It was exciting to level characters again and I feel like I will be able to give unbiased feedback on other classes now that I will have experienced them firsthand. After all, it's hard to be objective when you just got insta-killed by a Bladedancer for the 15th time that day. I have never questioned the game design decisions that a developer made so many times on a title before. To be clear, I really do like the gameplay in this game. Thing is though, there is almost nothing in the game that I wouldn't have done a good bit differently. You can't do anything with ships? Why are we stuck wearing one set of armor if we want to be LVL 30? I can't change my armor or gun colors to my liking outside of predetermined sets? Eva Lavonte doesn't ever get new shaders? They sell Exotics once a week for currency that is easily obtained, thereby breaking the rarity of said loot? No progression of any kind in the PVP? No skill based matchmaking? Why no Ghost shells? I could go on, but I won't. I will likely get called an entitled whiner for most of this. I just don't get what Bungie was thinking. I do like the gameplay. That's why I'm still playing it. Right now, the fact that I love my Titan and I still want to try out some of the Exotics are what is keeping me going. That will not carry the game forever though. The game needs an infusion of complexity and content.
