I think vanilla destiny was when the game was at its best! I will always miss #forever29 and the first queens wrath (though I was level 5 at the time :P)
I feel like the crucible was better then too, though it wasn't balanced, fusions and autos were the best weapons, now they are laughed at.

I have always felt that the game was and still is lacking quite a bit. Every game has some downfalls. However, Destiny seems to have more than the rest. The only reason I still play is because of the friends I have met through the game. Now if none of my friends are online I do not play.
