Not even kidding, it has been quoted by the Creative Director himself...

A ton of people quickly and easily hitting max level is a 'good thing'... and this is a 'collection game' now... even though we all know the balancing is -blam!-ed so you're only going to use the current meta anyways. Le sigh... If they like the direction this is going, I worry about the future. I am not happy with either of these changes. A lot of you aren't either.
[u][b]So I ask the question. Do you want Destiny to be an 'Easy Grind; Collection Game?'[/b][/u]
If you're anything like me, and you still play D2, it's not because you are happy with the current state or the direction it is going, but because there isn't a good alternative right now (I know Warframe but I just couldn't get into it personally). Cannot wait til Anthem drops.
