The game has certainly been out long enough to have veteran players. Look at ESO.. The endgame is defined by "veteran ranks" and content for that level. The term veteran can be applied toward a multitude of activities and services.. Players of the game "destiny" that have been playing long enough to be looked at as veterans of the game should not have any bearing on what being a veteran means to you. I assume this thread was created because you are a veteran of something in your own right, and by the context of the op, I'm assuming armed forces? I'm sure anyone that knows you has great respect for your service, as well as citizens of whichever country said armed forces defends.. Even still, the term veteran, while widely used as a term for those that have served in the armed forces, is not exclusive to that service. Look up the definition when you get a chance.. A person who has had a lot of experience in a particular field. We could argue all day about whether gaming, or destiny for that matter could be considered a field, but undoubtedly it is a hobby for some who've put in thousands of hours towards it, and the fact that they have associated themselves as destiny veterans in no way diminishes your service as a veteran at what you do. I'm not posting this to knock you, but I think that maybe being satisfied with the service you've provided and the respect that comes as a result, should be of more importance to you than other people's proper(yes, proper, by its very definition) use of the word. Just food for thought.
