Just...? What Happened?

Just... What happened? This looked like the game of the century and all it was... was this? I don't want to sit here and trash Bungie for how "repetitive" this game gets but honestly I am disappointed. Years were spent creating this. I just don't see it. I am and always will be a long time Bungie fan but this game actually convinced me to play games I haven't even considered playing in a long time. I was one of the "fanboys" who would have stood up against anyone that would trash this game but after playing for only two months now I am already bored. Two months! That's how long this game lasted for me. I will still play this but only because of that I enjoy the way the game plays (mechanics) and the fantastic visual views. Don't get me wrong this whole game isn't garbage. I just don't see how this took this long to create something this mediocre. ONE area to cover on each planet/moon. I could get through a planet in an hour or two. Another thing, EXOTICS. WTF? They are supposed to be the pinnacle of the game. They are supposed to be those guns that you spend days after days to get and then days after days working on. But Xûr? 17 - 23 coins for one of the best weapons in the game. Even less for armor and even a small amount of motes for an exotic armor piece. One day I managed 27 strange coins in about an hour and a half. That's TWO exotics armors or a weapon THAT FAST. On top of it I had about 56 motes... Exotics make the game a whole lot different as well. I can't enter a Crucible game without seeing 2 - 4 Suros Regimes. It's even less enjoyable then before... Enough of just Xûr... What about RNG? RNG in Crucible, etc... is possibly the laziest loot system there could be. I totally understand drop RNG in the open world (if I can even call it that) but when the last person on the Control team gets The Last Word, Suros Regime, Gjallarhorn, etc... Then you know something is messed up. We all know about RNG so I will let everyone think up other instances themselves. I honestly don't even believe they should be droppable in Crucible... We all are aware that the content on Destiny is repetitive but I don't see why Bungie thought that making every mission the same exact thing every time is a good idea. I realize that originality and newer content can be difficult to come by but isn't that the reason some of us even bought the game? Daily missions don't make me feel much better when they are the same missions I like to avoid... The Vault of Glass is absolutely the most enjoyable part of the game in my opinion. It doesn't have a "horde mode" the whole mission, we get our hands on a fun relic, and we enjoy it with SIX other people. If the whole story was this way I would think almost everyone would have less complaints... I'm not asking for hour long missions but I just would like to see some variety. I also believe they didn't add enough game modes for Crucible. I would fall in love with Crucible if they would just add a barebones type. (I made a post on this a couple weeks ago so feel free to check it out). Besides disappointment, I felt that most people in this game were in a state of confusion. This misleading and really confusing story did not help that fact that it was limited and short. We still don't know what the bleep is going on in our universe and reading the Grimoire is not and shouldn't be the answer. A large majority of the people that play this game are just kids. Most don't even have the patience and time (wink wink) to read every single card they find from dead ghosts. This should be secondary. Also this was coming from Bungie? The creators of one of the most compelling and interesting campaigns in Xbox history (Halo) put this together. I heard about their lead writer leaving. I understand how that can complicate things but come on. I could think of something better. Any DLC isn't going to fix this garbage unless they decide to start from scratch and give it all to Playstation. Lol. I may add things in later as I go and change up parts of this post but for anyone that decides to read this whole post without trashing me... Thanks... I know there are people out there that agree with me. I know that there are people that disagree with me. However you feel, just remember that I gave this game a chance even when others were saying the same things I have been. I have experienced this game and just think that others will choose my side. I hope Bungie can get their crap together if they ever hope for this game to last the next 10 years. 10 years... I would like to see what the game is like then if Bungie chooses a sensible path. Please be respectful in the responses. I am not looking to piss anyone off. These are just my opinions and how I feel disappointed. I do respect Bungie and think that parts of this game are big steps for the future. I just hope this game turns out the way it was predicted and not the 1/25s it is now. If you feel like calling me an immature kid, saying that I haven't played enough, etc... Then I won't even answer you. This is how I feel and you will have to live with it. Thanks again to any readers and enjoy the rest of your time on Destiny. From, a long time Bungie Fan Edit1: Just to make this clear. I DON'T HATE THE GAME. I just thought this game would be more but it still has loads of potential. There has been great work done to the game but I am in a way, disappointed. Some can say I am complaining but in reality I am just stating facts.
