If you’re looking for validation from a stranger then “well done” I guess. It doesn’t refute my argument and the arguments of many others though.

Actually it does. And heres another: stop being casual.

Telling someone to "Stop being a casual" in a game that literally tells people they can't level up any more that day or that week is an a lot like you, an Oxy-[i]moron[/i] There is no "Hardcore" in Destiny and it amazes me that people need so desperately to feel superior to one another that they'll straight up lie to themselves to do so. If you want to be considered a "Hardcore" player, go play something like Final Fantasy XIV or World of Warcraft where the only thing that stops you from progressing all you want, getting stronger and preforming greater is how much time you are willing to put in yourself. Here in Destiny, I could play 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and the only difference in in where I am now and where I would be there is *maybe* half a Power Level more for each day. Try using your head instead of the inspirational quotes on the back of your can of Mountain Dew. You might learn a thing or two about... well. Using your brain.

Someone hit 650 today, wheres your excuse now?

Here's [b]my[/b] excuse: I have a life. I have a wife. I have kids. I have a job. I have 3 different characters because I want to have fun with different abilities, rather than wanting to increase my light level as fast as possible and having 3 of the same type. Sadly, most of the clan I played raids with have given up with Destiny 2, and I only enjoy playing raids with friends - because that's what makes it fun for me. And I really don't like PvP in Destiny - probably because I'm rubbish at it, and I don't find repeated defeats fun. Don't tell me to "get good" - I "get good" at what is important in life (which is why people pay me rather well for doing my job). The key part of me playing Destiny is "fun". If I'm not having fun, I stop playing. I got to 600 (on all three characters) a few weeks ago after doing everything I like on all of them for a few weeks. By the end of it, there wasn't much I still 'liked'. I was quite keen to see the new content. I got to the Forge. I stopped playing. Maybe in a few weeks I'll think it is enjoyable to level up again just so I can play the new stuff. Maybe not. Did this DLC make me want to keep playing Destiny 2? No - it did the opposite.

As toxically -blam!- as Pure is being, if you've got too much of a life to keep up with the content, then move off the forums and find something else. Being a whiny dad on the forums of a video game is almost as sad as being toxic like Pure.
