Dear Bungie if you havent noticed yet, WoW is immense, explorable, there are mounts to collect and to use in game. There are pets to team, there are countless story missions, dungeons, races, classes, dozens of talents and rotations to create dozens of different builds, old solo raids to relive the story or take a piece of equipment to transmog (and the old raids are feasible given that the power level remains fixed while the character level increases, making you feel powerful), you can save equip settings and recall them with a single key. And yet grind and farming are sometimes maddening. Really. Not everybody has the Scarab Lord power inside /s.
Destiny is an FPS, the world is limited in exploration (no, we still cant go to those mountains) so the sparrow is of little use, spaceships are useless as they only serve as decoration in the loading screens, there are three races and three classes with three subclasses each.
With the last few seasons grind and farming have become boringly overwhelming, lately if one wants a decent ornament he has to buy it at Eververse (see Recluse or Raiden Flux), the story stumbles and gives you a minimum of satisfaction only by reading the lore, the vendors are useless, the crucible is not balanced, connection errors reign supreme, quests like "The Lie" come out with absurd requirements so much that you are forced to put multipliers x5 x 10 and then they are bugged. To remember a good content you have to go back to Zero Hour, PoH was decent too...
And despite this, you continue to want it more and more similar to WoW, you only reply to posts about the use of a word by an NPC and you are only focused on making money with microtransactions. It seems that you don't even know what to do with this game, except the money of course. Or rather, you want to make a game that is impossible to make without making it even more boring. For you in an FPS the fun is to farm a public event endlessly? Is it in that insult to creativity that the Guardian Games have been? As a gaming company you want to make money, it's legit. Too bad a video game has to BE FUN otherwise it has failed in the first place, and any of your recent content is an anthem to laziness. And upcoming content seems to not care about story, strikes, players, old technical issues. It just adds more FOMO, grind.
When you will have only the new lights and streamer's fanboys and you will have lost all the normal players who loved this game since D1 it will be too late.
Bow to the Lord, bow to Luke Smith.

60 RepliesIts not trying to be World of Warcraft. ..and you are trying to limit what Destiny is to the parts of what it is that you are comfortable with. Lastly, Sunsetting----which all loot games and MMOs do----is a necessary part of the solution to the boring loot problem.
