Artificial content extensions allow the same content to be recycled virtually indefinitely. It's occasionally called "time sinking". Destiny is an extremely content starved title and in order to maximize play time whilst minimizing development they throw in the dreaded grind. It's not entirely a bad thing, some sickos even actually like it, but it makes for a game that is boring just to think about much less actually grind your way through. There's never anything new happening, no surprise waiting around the corner, just the same shit over and over and over. Even if you love it, it's boring. I love bacon, but if all I get is bacon made the same way for every meal, over and over and over, that love is going to turn into revulsion. Suffice it to say removing any part of the grind will negatively effect the dollar driven design of Destiny. It's not made to be a great game, it's made to be great business move. I would personally love to see all of the above implemented, but in that same vein they'd have to actually add content to offset the drop in how recyclable existing content is. This means higher development cost for no gain, and thus Activision is not going to do it. Maybe long after they've sold a few DLC's they'll consider it, but as is? Not a chance. Don't get me wrong, I love these ideas, it's just not going to happen.

  • That's how the triple A market works, they prey on your hope. They profit from convincing you the amazing game experience you're looking for is just one little transaction away. Then of course it never is, but before you even have a chance to recognize you've been duped, there they are again preying on your hope once more. Ever notice the greatest game of all time is always just one more little purchase away? Ask guys like Chris Roberts how he got to be the head of the most crowd funded game (actually the most crowd funded anything) in history with Star Citizen (a game that isn't even going to be done until 2016 at the earliest). 100% funded by consumer hope, it's an extremely lucrative commodity to capitalize on.

  • I'm married and nearly 30... the only "girls" I text are my nieces =P Something about getting older that just chases down your childhood ideas of the world and brutally murders them with a shovel in a woodshed while it makes the others watch. But I'll stop gaming when they pry my controller from my cold dead hands... and I'll talk shit all along the way.
