it is designed to play on the addiction needs of some gamers. I preorder nothing. But also the reward system is built to string you along. There's actually no reason to update light levels except to give you a need/fake reason to redo what you already did, level up armor. They could easily simply just add new story content, multiplayer modes, raids and let that stand. But the guns and specificaly the new armor light levels are their to give people a new thing they have to go do or go acquire. It keeps people stuck in a perpetual system of always having to get new gear that does the same thing essentially. Like the old vendor gauntlet's do the same thing as the last vendor gauntlets. You just had to buy them and level them. But you're not really getting some thing of new to the game. Before you had guantlets that improved reload speed. Now you have new gauntlet's that improve reload speed. It's a cycle designed to keep you engaged and prevent you from leaving because they probably think it's too hard to keep you just on releasing new story and maps and raids and game modes.
Sidenote: Destiny wouldn't be the Drug Dealer. Destiny would be the drug. The Dealer would be Gamestop/Activision/Bungie. Though to make an analogy Bungie and Activision would be Pablo Escobar making manufacturing the stuff. Gamespot would be the street guy but still both deal in drugs.

Lol nice analogy :)
-
And they cut their gear to about 30% proof, they are worse than drug dealers
-
No reason to upgrade to higher light levels? Lol

i'm not an Activision hater. It's a business. I'm an adult. Any business in the world is interested in a long term revenue stream. But the addictive part is part and parcel to most games. Who they achieve it is a bit more WOW though than other games.

I'm in too deep.

Me, too. *sighs*

I'd only grind for the variety. I'm still at level 32 because I have no friends. Oh well. I play now for the social atmosphere, sampling weapons I don't normally use, and generally screwing around for a laugh. I could care less about advancing further, because I'm sure TTK will let me get to 34 without EL anyways, much like the HOW got me to 32 without doing VOG or Crota. If I was to buy TTK, which I may not since Fallout 4 is coming, but that's another story.

yeah i didn't really have to grind to get 34 honestly. I'm close to day one. More like day one plus a month or so. But anyways. i didn't buy TDB so i was only at 31. I took a shot on HOW but before that i burnt out so the only think i did, for like two months was i leveled all of my factions and the cryptarchs right to the point before they ticked over and awarded a package. I only played when i was bored. And when you have two months it wasn't difficult. Plus I already had like three factions (across three characters) near the next rank when i decided to do it. Thus when HOW hit i turned in a bounty for each faction, had a bunch of packages and i literally had a full set of 33 armor for all my characters on day one. I also have two titans so i got to 34 pretty quickly because two of the pieces i got from trials because you can buy multiple pieces of armor if you get high enough that week. So my grinding was really well before HOW. And it felt much less of a grind cause i did it over several months. As for HOW it was disappointing for me though i kinda expected that because at the reveal i saw no matchmaking for trials and i'm not a fan of "horde mode." So i figured i may be disappointed. It is what it is. I played a lot because i don't buy many games and i play when i'm bored so it's not all bad. TTK. I'll pass or at least pass until i see it used for $15

Forever 32:(

Tru Dat. Lame. WEAK. But prolly only until TTK.
