The only thing that almost killed this game was PvP and the focus that it received in the later era of Destiny. Many people, myself included, turned to this game as an activity that would allow them a chance to play with friends and strangers alike, and not be in a PvP fast paced environment. A game where you made friends at random moments just from helping a dude out with a fallen walker in the cosmodrome. A game that wasn't just another PvP re-skin dressed a little different. Bungie realized that not everyone is a PvP master and eats sleeps and breathes to make others suffer for their crap skills or lack of thumbs. They created a cooperative space that allowed us scrubs to enjoy time with our buddies and not fall prey to people wanting to pad their k/d's for their own vanity. It wasn't until later when they started balancing the game towards PvP that this game went downhill. Balances that were dictated by trials performance stats made a lot of impact on the pve player, some in good ways, others not so much. But at the end of it all, Destiny is still one of the only fps games that allows me to hang out with buddies after work and kill random aliens without having to just play PvP all the time.
