- story - size of planets - boring crucible modes - reliance on loot, was hoping for a more rpg game

Let me 1st say I was in awe of the game when I 1st started playing and right off the bat I was having serious fun. The 1st failure for me, I recognized within the 1st week while playing with friends. The failure was the loot system. Now I will admit we have seen many loot mechanics and honestly none of them are perfect. However, Destiny and they way it suppresses the gear development of unlucky players, really stood out as one of the worst at making me feel bad when playing the game. I did not catch up to my "lucky" friends until VoG was launched, and I played as much as they did and in some cases, I had much more play time. Once we were rocking VoG, once again my lucky friends were racing far ahead of unlucky me, so Destiny continued to deliver on the bad loot experience. The 2nd failure for me has been Xur not selling Gjallarhorn but one time in week two of the game. Given the importance and team psychology of this weapon in RAIDS, players who have been grinding for months without a GHorn drop is simply ridiculous. Xur is supposed to help balance this important shortfall and for whatever reason, GHorn no longer drops from XUR, and for too many players GHorn is not dropping in the game either. The 3rd failure, which honestly takes a while to really develop, is vault space. Players eventually are required to disassemble far to many items. Items which in many cases may have taken 2-5 days to level up with bounties. Items which may have been great fun to use, or armor perks great for running patrols. Given the vast storage space made available in other games, the lack of storage space is unreasonable. The 4th failure… no short cuts for switching weapon setups. Really? In 2015? The 5th failure… NO Customer Support. Accidents happen and every once in awhile a player could use some help undoing a mistake. Again, Really? in 2015? Bungie is not capable of supporting the player base with some form of account snap shot to allow for account recovery? Of course such a common played support mechanism would require Bungie to have dedicated customer support staff, which costs $$$, and is probably at the root of there being no player support. The 6th failure… is kind of the next logical question when you think about the lack of funding for player support… why did TDB & HoW have to cost $25 each and TTK $40-80? Bungie is not spending the money in the game, why do they need more, so much more? Is this other stuff we need coming and contingent on Bungie getting more of our money? The 6th failure… TBD/HoW… maps in reverse? Do I have to go any further on this one? I mean common… $25 for TDB is a lot of money and Bungie you really look pretty greedy giving us new missions with just current maps in reverse. When it comes to the story, IMHO Destiny started with a decent story with lots of potential for story expansion. When it comes to grinding, most of these types of games have way too much grinding, although some hide it better than others. Destiny is just average IMHO at how it presents the grind. Honestly, grinding is not what made me grow to hate Destiny… but once I became unhappy, the grind also became more frustrating. IMHO there is still hope for Destiny as far as my interest and willingness to play.However, right now, I have no interest in playing or buying TTK. Getting me back playing and playing as much as I did last fall, is entirely up to Bungie. As far as my current expectations…. I have no expectations. I don't believe Bungie is going to change anything I hate about the game, and like many others who have stopped playing, I have been making other plans. Like so many who have stopped playing yet continue to contribute on the forums, I still care enough to express my feedback, in hopes it will contribute twosome changes.

I really wished that they had more PvE events in Stock. The first Queens event was pretty lame but it was something special at least. Now the only event is iron banner and I'm not a fan of PvP. I really can't wait until September when MGS5 is available to finally stop playing Destiny.

Like the way I see it the actual story missions should be patrol missions. That's how lacking they are. The strikes are okay. Room for improvement. VoG was amazing. Crota's End was rushed right down to the enemy you face! 'Ah shit who's gonna be the boss?' 'Uhhhhh that hive that took the moon?' 'Scrota? But isn't that blowing our load too quick? Also didn't he kill thousand of guardians by himself? Wouldn't really fit into the lore' 'Its like I don't even know you anymore......the less creative thinking we have to do the better' 'All right Scrota it is!'
