Great post. I like the overall game play, but will ditch Desitny the second something new with the same type of playability without the grind comes out. The way I see it, Bungie is only opening the market for another developer to come in and take advantage of this dissatisfaction. I don't play with other people - having to go to an outside web service just to find people to play with is ridiculous to begin with and locking the game's best rewards to people who either have a group they play with consistently (try doing that when your out of high school), or go through these sites to get a group together is just too cumbersome. I wouldn't have such a big problem with the rarity of etheric light if there were a way to meet/talk to people in game, without having to join a party or have a ton of random people as friends. But adding the grind to get etheric light to the already painful fact that I can't access the cool stuff because I can't schedule my life around my gaming is just too much. Love the game - won't get the next expansion, won't buy the next version unless this this is addressed - and if something comparable comes out in the meantime, well... goodbye titan, goodbye hunter, and goodbye warlock I never had...
