As I have said since beta, someone at Bungie or Activision had a vision of where they thought the game could go, in this totally different direction. In their mind, it was -the way-, and no one could change their mind about it. I'm sure they had the same idea as the guy that wrote The Room (the shitty movie, not the excellent mobile games); this is an amazing wonderful thing, if only you could all just [i]understand what I'm trying to do[/i]. Problem is, it's not the game that the Destiny audience would have even wanted. So we muddled through the Y1 mire, trying to take some good out of the pile of bad.
Y2 is about damage control and getting back to what actually works, and in that respect, it's been fantastic. Random rolls add a nice level of spice and complexity, the story was extremely well-executed and respectful of the characters and lore, and the added content is challenging, engaging, and worthwhile. The main focus of end game day to day, the Dreaming City, can't be mastered straight out of the campaign, and is evolving over time. The price to pay for that; older content is becoming less challenging and relevant, both because of increased weapon effectiveness and load out flexibility. This isn't much different from D1; soloing max level PoE was a huge challenge at one point, and by Y3, it wasn't that hard to do.
For all the issues that have come about as a result of the updates, the Y2 game is so drastically ahead of all of Y1. I feel bad for people like yourself that didn't update to the latest DLC (I'm assuming), because your experience will be suffering for the changes. For everyone that did, life is pretty decent at the moment. The DLC has it's definite issues and problems, 100%, but it feels like we have the game -we- wanted at last, not the game -that dude- wanted. I hate to be the guy that says 'you have to update to get the full experience', but I'm afraid it might be true in this case. Either way, I wish you the best, and hope you can either find your fun in the game you own now, or decide to update, and experience what people in my position are talking about. I promise can you, it's actually worth it this time. No bullshit.
