So, you're trying to obtain loot. Which is what the game is mostly based on. To do things (Nightfalls, Raids, Strikes, Crucible) to obtain new gear or weapons. It's the baseline of the game. To me, to say to look at it differently, there's no other way to look at it. To play a game, spend my time (which is maybe an hour or two every so often) on a game that I have no goal in or at least one that is guaranteed. Is not an optimal use of my gaming time. I have plenty of other games to play. I love this game. I love playing it but I need more than that at this point as it's almost been a year of playing.
