Don't you understand? The reason they did this absurd systematic farming process is to ensure that you continue playing Destiny. Why waste the time giving players anything meaningful if it means they will get to the level cap quicker before the next money-grabbing "expansion" hits the market? They know that the moment you reach that max level within the first month, you won't have a reason to keep playing for the rest of the 2 months... that is of coarse if you continue to play for the purpose of gaining the exotic you want and then farming for the glimmer and materials necessary to maximize it's upgrades. They are not going to listen to you, PERIOD! They will keep Xur a once-a-weekend vendor disregarding those who work during the time he's in the tower, they will keep random loot random to ensure newbies get a chance at rising through the ranks with little to no effort, because if people don't feel like badasses playing this game then they will discontinue playing it. There will be no story in bulk because if the story was all given at launch they wouldn't be able to maximize profit by dangling the promise of a bigger story through the next "expansion" in front of your face. Broken chat means nothing to them, if it was all about being social as they claimed it would be, then they would've given us a proximity chat via quote bubbles over each Guardian's head, as well as a proper voice chat. Disabling matchmaking for the hardest content in the game is again meant to ensure that everyone doesn't beat it too fast, giving them an incentive to continue playing the game. Grimiore cards are meant to try and satisfy you for the lack of a competent story in the game while you're forced to purchase it in later "expansions" that do little to expand the story at all. Exotic weapons and armor will remain under this failed "reset" system because rather than have you jump up to all these next level enemies with the progress you've obtained with your exotic weapon, they saw an opportunity to... you guessed it, have you farm more to further ensure that you stay hooked in the game and never leave it. It remains lucrative that way. Get with the program buddy, this is Bungie, who are now in bed with one of the most notorious money-grabbing jackasses in the industry - ACTIVISION!
