The thing about Year 1 was that Destiny burn out/fatigue did not set in for most of us until after The Taken King had come out so most of us were very happy to play Destiny every single day for all of Year 1.
Before Year 2/The Taken King, there was a sense that the Destiny was only going to get better with each new expansion. When the Taken King came out, there was a sense that the game had peaked. There was nowhere for our expectations to go other than down where as in Year 1 we were all looking forward to Destiny's future with great optimism.
Essentially, you are looking back on Year 1 with rose tinted glasses.
