[quote]THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF DESTINY ....well it once was year 1, THE LAUNCH You play strikes and story mode, who the hell is xur? Cool this guys sells stuff not easily obtained in the game. Why do some people have blue flames around their head? Oh, nightfalls give you that because you earn an experience boost and right on! exotics can drop pretty consistantly and those are hard to come by everywhere else. That experience boost is nessassry as weapons must be grinded out to level up, which is cool, it gives me reason to patrol and do strikes as I test my weapon to see if I want to continue leveling it up. first update, THE VAULT OF GLASS WOW, I have to socialize with other people in order to defeat this, not sure about that, I usually play solo. But Awesome we get gear and weapons from this raid and now i have friends on here to help with other activities, let's form a clan together. What is this? Awesome, these primaries have burns on them which help greatly. Got to do normal and hard because the drops are different, first have to do my nightfalls though for the experience boost because weapons take so long to upgrade, as they should. Next update, IRON BANNER AWESOME, These weapons can be re-rolled when iron banner comes around and your level matters so my amazing prowess of defeating the raid over and over has giving me a slight advantage. ...plus some luck with the drops of course 6 month update, CROTA SWEET, a new raid, same as vog, normal mode drops are different from hard. 6 raids are a must. Lvl now 32, but my Lvl 30 vog stuff is still viable...so...12 raids plus a nightfall to do ! Yes ! So much to do...I have options TRIALS this is cool, good loot for the Pvp die hards. Now PvE and PvP players have an outlet to show off their skills. 9 month update, POE oh damn this is hard and what is this etheric light ? Hot damn I can bring my fate bringer and vog stuff to the new lvl. Damn it..I dismantled some stuff, back to venus and the damn gorgons. Sweet, these primaries have burns on them too! Oh, now I can re-roll every weapon...ok, but that's what made iron banner feel so special as those were the only weapons that can be re-rolled. Every Tuesday during year 1 Remember when you were so excited for reset day? Another chance for an exotic. Got to do my weekly too, so I can get 9 strange coins for xur...since he sells stuff worth buying cause exotics are still not that easy to come by. YEAR 2, (Bungie "we listened to all the crys of drop rates and the raid being too hard and being the only way to achieve the highest level, so no more having to play how we intended it to be") TAKEN KING Damn, my stuff I have sucks now, I have to throw it away for vault space cause even Rares are better than my fate bringer and the all mighty Gjallahorn. Hmmmmm...the nightfall sure sucks now, 3 of coins exist, no need to grind the nightfall anymore and no blue flame adorned around my head!? No more returning to orbit! What happened? What ! The weekly's are pointless now too. Must have been too much whining from the masses. Least the raid is cool...but what's this? Hard and normal have the same stuff with the same perks ? No burns on primaries? Just different colors ...wtf, well burns aren't really a factor in year 2 anyway so I guess it doesn't matter. Guess all I really need to do is 3 raids, cool I have more time to do other things, like cut the grass, try different games out, or try and find something on Netflix worth watching...I guess. ahhh, quests.... these are cool. (Till after 2 months when the drops for them are dismantling material and no need for the experince as I can just use my motes of light, almost a good idea) RETURN OF IRON BANNER hmmmm...no more rerolling weapons and why does a gaurdian at 295 light pack as much punch as my 320!? Guess size doesn't matter...anymore, even though they say it does. So much for having an advantage because my raid team and I kick ass 6 months later,(crys that it's too hard to achieve light and all the loot easily obtained still isn't good enough for me) COE AND NEW MAX LIGHT HMMMM, everyone gets light like candy on Halloween. So much for all those raid hours every week, my skill at the raid and luck of drops gives me no advantage or bragging rights over lower light players. Wow..now I can infuse everything to what the infusing is...all the glimmer and materials I wasted, but ok. Ummmm this isn't even the old POE, it's just the same 3 levels every week with different challenge for points? This does not feel like destiny and it's hardly a challenge. The raid and nightfall are pointless thanks to light giving out so easily and 3 of coins, guess I will wait for trials and iron banner to give it ago since trials is the only way now to have something not everyone can get so easy, I'm sure that will soon change too and you only need 1 win to get to the light house.  This is crap..what is there really to do ? Everything has been acheived and everyone has everything...no more showing off my accomplishments with the gear I have or my light level. Everyone Tuesday year 2 Oh...it's reset day? Meh...I can wait, I have most everything anyway and I can just do plain old strikes for exotics. That should sum up why so many have deserted the game, as I'm sure most of you have noticed your pages and pages of friends active dwindling more and more. This is my personal opinion and if you disagree fine, that's your right. Just look at all the year 1 activities there was to do that was worth while compared to where the game sits now. When's the last time you rode your sparrow? With each update or dlc since year 2, Destiny has become a shell of what it was and what it was supposed to be and there is no arguing that fact. Just imagine if all the content in Destiny was viable, it would make for an epic game with tons of options to do. Of course I'm sure some trolls will find something to argue, there's always those guys and before you say..."well WoW always got rid of old content for new content like every other mmo" I say to that...why be like everyone else. Think outside the box, I see cool ideas people post all the time on here. Do they listen? No, but they say they do. They must listen to the 10 year old and younger demographic, because all Bungie has done was make the game so easy it feels like a child's game. PS Bungie. ..that demographic doesn't have the money to buy your games and dlc..so put on the big boy pants and stop catering to the generation of the participation trophy. (Destiny thrived and was made so playable year 1 thanks to the socializing aspect and the time it took to obtain things along with so many options we had to do .  It kept us playing and grinding while having fun and had to dedicate time to do it as there was always some carrot dangling in front of us and that's called good business )[/quote] Perfect*
