Destiny is more fun when you stop caring.

Seriously. When you play just to hang out with friends, or just to pass the time, it's fun. I spent all of year one being frustrated that I couldn't get a Gjallarhorn, or a Hopscotch Pilgrim, or whatever I was chasing at the time. I finally got the things I was chasing, but where are they now? Dismantled. Why? Because Bungie made them irrelevant. All that time I spent trying to get HP, and Bungie goes and makes Saladin sell the Nerwin's Mercy, which is the exact same weapon, but in green instead of blue. And Gjallarhorn? Left behind at 170, so totally worthless. You may be thinking, "yeah, so what?" Well, I was thinking about Bungie's announcement of the new update, expansion, and Destiny 2. Specifically their statement that the level cap would be increased. I realized I've been chasing a 320 ghost and class item since like what...November? Spending week after week mad as hell, and for what? As per usual, I backed off from Destiny for a little while. Didn't quit, just took a break. I came back this week for Crimson Doubles. Didn't grind it, just played it. You know..."play?" That thing you're supposed to do with games? It usually results in, oh idk...FUN? Yeah...fun is a thing I haven't felt in a long time, playing Destiny. Because I was making Destiny an obligation instead of a recreational activity. I was so driven to get 320 light that I didn't realize 320 light is pointless. The second I realized this, I decided I was no longer going to play Bungie's game. No longer going to chase their carrot. And I've been having fun ever since. I haven't even raided this week. I'm the type of guy who does both daily activities every day, does all weekly heroics and nightfalls, and all raids all on Tuesday night so I can spend the rest of the week grinding strikes for exotics and Imago Loops/Grasp of Maloks. Well, I'm happy to say my days of mindless, pointless grinding are over. My feedback to Bungie is this: [b]Destiny used to be fun. It was fun when I could wear whatever class item I wanted. When my ghost didn't matter. When I didn't have an artifact that does absolutely nothing. When my weapons weren't all broken. When the nightfall was actually worth it. When you didn't lie to us and change things behind our backs. When I had more than 4 guns to choose from in crucible. When I had 3 raids to choose from that could give endgame loot. I miss THAT Destiny. Please bring it back. Or not. I kinda gave up hope a while ago.[/b] Dom

    Bump. When you start wearing what you want, using what you want, and revisiting yr1 stuff without all the pressure on top of it all, it makes things quite enjoyable. I've little to no care about getting any of my toons to even 315, because really, at 310, you have the ability to play/complete everything. Advice to other guardians: The grind only consumes you if you let it.
