Totally agree. If this is a story, it is now lost in the pvp game it is mutating into. I bought because someone told me about it. First question asked...Is this a team fight type game or fps. Bought because both elements were there. Pve suits me. I thought it one sided that Bungie had venders only taking crucible marks so we found a work around. It worked. Was not hurting anyone and you had to really work to get the materials in exchange for the marks unlike getting same marks for a lot less time in cruc play. I miss the exchange. I hope I am wrong but maybe I am not. I hope Bungie isn't choosing to burn the bridges for us who enjoy pve over those who enjoy pvp. Story seems lost in the retoric. I am going to age myself but I loved finding new toys and abilities and the whys of it in System Shock II. Destiny was introduced such that I thought it would be similar but with a depth of environment impossible at SSII's time. Destiny was going that way with depth, story, background but it needed some changes, improvements but now it is getting lost and there is no emerging story just a useless basis to hang out their pvp shingle again. Bungie please don't leave us behind.
