Just uninstall the game ...your characters are saved on Bungie's servers ... Trade it in (but save your expansion codes just in case) If u ever want to play again, vanilla will be cheap with TTK editions coming out...

[i] Unless you are literally unable to stop yourself from playing, and you find yourself neglecting REAL WORLD reponsibilities-----like eating, sleeping, and work/school----to play this game....then you are NOT addicted.[/i] So lets deal with that up front. Odds are you are NOT addicted...you're just burned out. If you are compulsively playing this game to the point you can't tear yourself away, and you life is coming unravled because of it.....you have a bigger problem than this environment can help you with. You need REAL professional help. Now, I've been playing this game daily since Day One, and I still look forward to playing it every day...and I largely stay positive about the experience. (To the point some people accuse me of being a Bungie employee or shill....I wish. I could always use the money....) How I do this is simple. [i] I play the game for INTERNAL reasons. [/i] IOW, I play the game because I ENJOY PLAYNG THE GAME. When the game gets stale, I stop playing. When a part of the game gets stale, I stop playing it and move on to playnig a different part. If I don't like part of the game (like the strike playlist) I don't force myself to play it. Lastly, I accept the game for what it is. I don't waste time or energy brooding over that hte game isn't...or what it "should have been'> The opposites of these----are the things I typically see------that lead other people to burn out and quit the game 1. They play for External reasons. To prove something about themselves (Tirials) or to get some particular piece of loot.. As someone wiser than me once noted, "There are two ways to being miserable in this world. One is to get NOTHING of what you want. The other is to get EVERYTHNG you want." ..and that's the rub. The people who get miserable are the externally-motivated players who either get all the game's loot....or they get stuck in a pattern where some item or item "wont drop" for them. So when the external carrots either dry up or won't cooperate....they have no reason left to play or enjoy playing. 2. People either limit themselves to one part of the game ('I hate Crucible!!") or force themselves to play parts of the game they don't like for external reasons. Usually because it is the most "efficient" part of the game at getting something external. But since they don't like it...and keep playing it over and over....it gets stale very fast...and they grow to resent the game for what they are doing to themselves. 3. They are so focused on what the "isn't".....or so obsessed about *perceived* injustices perpetrated on them by Activision and Bungie....that they can't simply enjoy playing the game. You can't enjoy the world's best sweet potato pie, if you're sitting there seething about why you couldn't have pumpkin pie the whole time you're eating it. Advice: Its a game...and it supposed to be played for FUN....that's all. If it stops being fun...STOP PLAYING. Put it down. Go do something else...and come back and play again when it starts to be fun again, and you look forward to playing. If that feeling never comes back, walk away, and leave the game behind. Not every thing is for everybody....and this may not be the game for you.

Advice for leaving. 1. Eject disk 2. Pick up disk. 3. Bring disk to table 4. Grab hammer 5. Beat the shit out the disk.

Try to create goals for yourself outside of video games. For example, outside of work, I like to play with PCBs and racquetball in my spare time. Be mindful of the urge to go back and play. Try to separate yourself from the area in which you play (for me it's the living room). Playing another game won't really solve the issue. If you feel like you must--as a last resort--delete the game from your console. Or, put away the console altogether. Are there things that you've wanted to do outside of gaming? Start there.

After 900+ hours, which I admit is rather pathetic. I acquired every exotic weapon except for the queenbreakers bow cause I don't care about it. And after that the game just died. There was no point in playing anything cause I didn't need anything. Then after Bungie screwing up over and over again ($40 TTK, Luke Smith, Weapon Tuning) I've decided this franchise is not even worth it until Bungie gets their head out of their ass or something dramatic changes for the good. As a huge and long time Bethesda and Elder Scrolls fan ESO has ripped me away from Destiny and with Fallout 4 coming so soon it's safe to say I'm done with destiny. I agree with you my friend.

My advice is to spell quitting correctly.

I'm a hard gamer of destiny with I believe around 500hrs into the game. Up until a couple days ago I was going on my fifth week of no destiny. It was the easiest thing to do honestly because I was getting very bored with it. I'm not going to say my opinion of all the things I believe they did completely wrong with house of wolves but I will say that until september I will not be touching destiny. In the end I guess I'm saying is its up to you to decide how much you play the highly addictive yet bland repetitive game

Its like breaking up with a girlfriend..... Hard at first. But then something amazing happens... [spoiler]freedom :-)[/spoiler] [spoiler]you'll like that a lot :-)[/spoiler]

Get a job, if you're old enough. I used to play like, at least 5 hours a day, up until about a month ago. I got a job as a lifeguard, and I no longer have the time to play. After about two weeks I got over the desire to play, and I feel much better. Physically and mentally. Occasionally I get on for trials, and I still get a kick out of reading forum posts, but on the whole I feel like I've gotten over what was definitely a life-consuming conditions. Now whenever I get on, it's just to do the things that I enjoy.

Been the shit really a week off and you will look back and think why did i repeat stale content 100s of times for a worthless piece of loot that means nothing.

Get addicted to Star Trek on Netflix like I did, or start playing Runescape again that's what I did lol haven't played in about 2 weeks give or take a day or 2

Apparently you can sue for such a thing. Vague user agreements...can't believe that it can happen but...

Lots of good games to play. Bloodborne, Dark Souls 2, Alien Isolation, GTA 5, Witcher 3, Shadow of Mordor, Batman, Sunset Overdrive, Halo MCC (campaign still rocks), Ryse (good but short), the last of us.....once you play through a game with a good story again, it kind of breaks the spell of Destiny.

Follow your friends lead. Delete everything. If this is affecting you this much, I'll say it's not worst keeping proof of labor, and if anything just knowing that your toon is waiting for you when you come back. It's too much incentive to keep playing. Besides better games are coming this fall, 2 months or so. Prove to yourself that you not weak minded, and that you are willing and can do whatever it is you set your mind on.

Broke my disc, retarded nerfs

I think you have a problem. Seek professional help bro.

I recommend getting into other immersive games that don't completely take away your social life. Witcher 3, ESO, Borderlands to name a few.

Why are people saying take a break and come back? No quit the game all together. Such a waste of time
