A lot of the bias toward year 1 is because it was new and no one knew where the game is going. It felt different because it was NEW! Be honest with yourself how many times have you ran the Archon Priest strike? We are lucky we stayed entertained this long. It must of been all that addiction research. The game is dead because it's lived its' lifespan. Overall for what I spent on content for 3 years and 111 days of play time I say I got my money's worth. I would also hope that the bungie development team did research D1 as the beta for D2. I think it will result in a better game.
