the problem isn't timegating itself it's bungie's infuriating vagueness. They tell people there will be something in the game and then leave it to the player to find out. Normally this isn't a problem but when it is completely impossible to find something that was promised to exist then they start wasting peoples time and effort. Add this incredibly stupid and childish strategy to their inability to listen to their fanbase without -blam!-ing at least one major thing up with every update and this game will very quickly start losing even the most devoted fans that have stuck around through the worst shit in the past.
