You know, I'm still very much enjoying Destiny albeit it in smaller doses, but what you're describing is not in anyway a good thing. You kinda sound like a kidnap victim whose lost it and sees things being taken away and then given back as a treat.
It sounds a little like you're grasping at straws trying to convince yourself you're still enjoying the game.

But I am enjoying it. No convincing necessary. In smaller doses too. But I've always played like that. That's how it's meant to be played.
