Reaching out for some honest talk
This is not an attempt to be a dick. I'm not trying to start a war.
I loved this game at first. The beta was great. The first 50 hours or so were fun. As time goes on, I find myself slowly getting eaten away at by the flaws. I'm struggling to keep playing and the thing is [b]I want to like this game and enjoy it still[/b]. I'm having a hard time doing that though. Every day I login and do a few of the same bounties that I did last week, play a few missions I have beaten a few times already, and ignore the PVP because I hate it with every fiber of my being. I am used to balanced gameplay. I'm not calling out any one class or one super or one weapon. It's simply not balanced.
I guess, when I get right down to it, I'm starting to wonder if the hype got the best of me. In the beta, I started to have these little doubts. I squashed them down though because BUNGIE FTW and HALO RULEZ YO. Everyone said "no worries, it's just the beta". In the full game, my fears proved to be quite founded. I want to love this game the same way you guys do, but I just don't. I have friends that love it too and I don't even want to play with them for fear of ruining their experience with my passive aggressive discontent.
How do I love this game? I want to, but everywhere I look, I see nothing but closed doors, blocked off sections of maps, and wasted potential. I see missing features that should've been there and "rich, cinematic storytelling" that doesn't exist coupled with a slow loading UI for lore cards that should've been in the game itself. I see endlessly repeated quests that offer no individual flavor to them. I see a PVP that makes no attempt at fair, balanced gameplay. I see loot rewards that don't seem to go the player that deserves them. Worst of all, I see all the marketing and advertised "stuff" that it isn't in the full game and all of this is stuck in my mind while I play. I used to be able to just overlook it and enjoy the combat, but even that isn't possible anymore.
Should I just trade it in or what? Is it even possible to get back to basics and just like it for what it is?
EDIT: After some encouraging and friendly feedback, the prevailing opinion is to simply take a break from the game and I think that's exactly what I'm going to do. Thanks everyone.

Honestly as much as people say take a break, that just shows how much the game was a let down. I played the hell out of the beta, but that was under the assumption that they were adding more stuff, that there would be more variety, that the story would be fixed from what it was and expanded on. None of that really happened at all. Also for those who reply don't give me bullshit about grimoire please. I am talking about the game i paid for and what was IN that game, not something i read on an app or website. Now to my point...people will say "Your own fault for binge playing" and i won't say that...because as a gamer i know that when you get a game you are excited for, that is fun, you want to play the shit out of it...but the longer you play it the more you realize this game might not have been all you thought it was. And this sets the masterpieces from the regular games. Battlefield 2, Starcraft, Warcraft 3, these games as examples you could play them for hundreds of hours....and still not get bored...but as time goes on the quality of games plummets as gamers get more content with what is released and start to just be happy with SOMETHING being released. You don't need to be entitled, you should just not settle for a game... Now this may seem like i'm shitting all over destiny...and i'm not. Destiny has AMAZING gameplay...this alone kept me playing the beta for days, i skipped i don't know how many priorities just to play strikes and pvp...but that's all it has...gameplay. And don't get me wrong that isn't a bad thing, but it is still missing so many aspects that will keep people playing for years to come. Don't give me this "but 10 years" -blam!- that, i've played games for 10 years that didn't need to rely on DLC and weekly addons that you couldn't play immediately. tl;dr? Most people are starting to realize Destiny was not all it was cracked up to be. With great gameplay...that's really all it has going for it, sooner or later people will drop it for something fresh. And let's be honest the only reason people ever really have CoD is because of the 5 minute matches and the split screen...cause you can play with your friends. I hated CoD but it was fun to play with friends (same with Halo). Doesn't mean CoD is good...just means that it has features that keeps it playable and that's what destiny needs...
