So many people are playing destiny wrong

The only way to play destiny right is to have fun while you do it. Skip adds or not, grind for materials and gear, suffer through pvp lag, snipe nexus from the ledge, cheese the bridge in crota all that stuff is fine if you have fun while you do it. If you have to force yourself to do a part of the game you don't enjoy then feel free to skip it. You're choosing to do this in your free time for goodness sake choose to do something you enjoy. Don't choose to spend your time doing something you don't enjoy. I don't enjoy pineapple on my pizza and I sure won't choose to order 1 because I won't enjoy it. Should be the same premise for the game. Edit: I find it odd that people don't seem to understand that they DO NOT have to play parts of this game they don't like. I keep seeing stuff like, "they make you" or "I'm forced." Unless somebody in a bungie shirt has a gun to your head you're not forced or don't have to do anything. Edit2: just remember you always have a choice to play or not play any or all parts of this game. It's you're time to spend and choice to make. You're just as forced to play the game "barbies dream adventure" as you are to play pvp for the thorn bounty. You always have the option to play without thorn, crucible marks, raid gear or whatever. You can cut the game off and go do something else.

  • Everything in this game is repetitive and boring to me, therefore I quit it over six months ago. Simple solution. You are right, children have turned into addicts with this horrible game.

    • Bungie told me I'm playing their game wrong. Instead of giving me a choice, they are making the choice for me through nerfing and bye bye to year one gear.

      • I enjoyed shooting into a cave for hours... Someone in a bungie shirt said I couldn't. I enjoyed pushing templar off a cliff... Someone in a bungie shirt said I couldn't. I enjoyed pushing atheon off a cliff... Someone in a bungie shirt said I couldn't. I enjoyed sitting under a platform during the fallen priest...someone in a bungie shirt said I couldn't. I enjoyed jumping off an exploding lamp and flying to the bridge in crotas end...someone in a bungie shirt said I couldn't. According to your statement someone in a bungie shirt had to point a gun at my head. Perhaps all they have to do to make you play the way they want is to take away the means of letting you play the way you want to. Just saying...they said I couldn't.

          • I thought the only way to play this game was to play it any way you like until Bungie says no you cant play that way no more? Like why do ppl have such a issue when I sit down outside the farming cave in Skywatch? Im playing how I want to by enjoying a picnic in a cave while talking to the dead thing inside it.

            Yup. I am a day 1 player and if I start up a vog no one knows how to do it. Even Crota, people don't even know how to beat death singer. I remember when u used to be able to do the heavy glitch in the first week of crucible and run around with heavy. Or like if somebody had a suros regime, we would look up to them like they were the best player ever. The one thing, that I will never forget is the feeling of actually beating atheon normal mode. I wish people now adays would see how we did these things and how the struggles were before things like destiny lfg came out or before hard mode vog came out.

          • i guess i'm playing it right, i have fun in pvp, and HATE doing the quest lines for Eris (and to an extent the how quest line) so i still haven't done two of them on my 2nd and 3rd characters

          • Bungievision will tell you HOW to play YOUR game. Or they will nerf, and buff, until you do.

            • sounds easier than it is. i remember when i wanted the mask of the third man so bad. i didn't like PVE back there. all i was doing was crucible. so i dragged myself through strikes, nightfalls, weekly heroics etc. i did not enjoy it but it was for a bigger goal.

                • I hear where you're coming from, but please understand that if people were given accurate and concise info so that they could be well informed consumers we wouldn't be seeing many of the complaints that we do. Destiny was marketed as a PvE game, however over the past year we've seen more and more PvP added. I understand that it extends the shelf life of the game and keeps people playing the title due to the serious lack of content, but that isn't what a lot of people signed up for. Yes, they do have a choice to walk away, but some of us don't like paying for something and then when we get it we find out the the rules have changed and the game isn't what it was billed as. We are seeing the very same thing all over again with the marketing for TTK. Vague statements, info disseminated through third party sources instead of directly from Bungie. Constantly shifting info, which makes it very difficult to understand exactly what will or won't be taking place with TTK.

                    • I agree with you to a certain extent. I've done a lot of Strikes and more often then not I'm matched up with someone who just runs past everything that doesn't need to be killed and I often think to myself how ironic it is to play and FPS and not want to shoot anything. I don't particularly like grinding dozens of Strikes a day or playing the Archon priest or Valus for the 1000th time and I am keen to finish each Strike as soon as possible but it feels counter productive to spend so much time playing a single game and to walk away from it being not 100% sure what I spent all my time doing, at least when I'm killing minions of the darkness I feel like I'm doing something. The problem is Bungie designed Destiny with so little content that most of us ended up spamming the handful of Strikes over and over again to the point where the'ye no longer fun to do. truth be told, half the time I play this game I'm not even sure I'm having fun. It's gotten to the point and stage where Destiny feels more like work. So I'd argue that it's Bungie's fault that everyone is playing Destiny wrong.

                    • Exactly, games are meant for fun. But when I get killed by thorn, I don't have fun, because TLW and thorn are the only thing that people use

                      • I, for one, play this game to get pissed off and scream at my TV while I sit in my room alone.

                        • My idea of fun is doing well in the crucible. Doing so without the 3 or 4 weapons which reign supreme right now is impossible.
