Year 1 was good. However, Bungie has done quite well with the latest updates. There will always be a META. There is so much stuff to do now! I honestly think D2 will kick some butt and win GOTY when it debutes. My only complaint is not being able to keep beloved weapons at current light level. Also, nightfalls and other activities are easier now because the playerbase has vastly improved in tactics and versatility. The game is still fun even with all the pvp complications.
