I've played destiny since the first week in 2014. I've done the raids, trials, iron banner, prison of elders, etc. I've mounted the heads of Skolas, Atheon, Crota, and most recently Oryx above my fireplace. I cried when I got Gjallahorn for the first time... Only to weep once again when it was nerfed to the ground. I've made new friends and new memories. At 14 cents an hour total in gameplay, I'd say I've gotten my money's worth.
But recently I've realized that this game has grown stale. More and more issues have been popping up in crucible and PvE. I've tried to look past the sweaties in crucible running year 1 party crashers, thorns, and felwinters. I've tried to ignore the increasing number of salty "MLG" raiders who kick you if you die more than once in the raid. I've moved on from the fact that my vision of confluence, Gjallahorn, and murmur (yes I used murmur) sit collecting dust in my vault. I've even continued to play through the fact that my original raid team have all left destiny in search of better games.
Bungie, I am a loyal fan and I love destiny despite all its problems, but if you want anyone to play Destiny 2 then you had better get your sugar honey iced tea together. Why do I think this? Because The Division is in a great place to usurp you.
I played both division betas, and loved every freaking second of it. It was in a word BETTER than destiny. Mechanics were awesome, no lag, bugs, or overpowered weapons. The graphics were off the hook, and the open world was better than your planet system. And I am not the only destiny player to think this. Heck, the whole world thinks it too.
Just give The Division a Google and you'll see that Destiny is about to have its *blank* rocked. So Bungie, what will you do to save yourself? How will you survive the great migration? Because it's been fun but you know what they say, "the grass is always greener on the other side", and in this case that is 100% accurate.
Edit 1: Damn over 400 responses. Thanks for taking the time to give me your take on this, you've all given me a lot to think about. Ps I'm also glad for the people bashing my opinion: it means that destiny still has loyal fans. Also I don't mean to trash destiny too bad, I still love the game and will play destiny 2, I just think that The Division has a good chance to capture the attention of tired destiny players looking for a fresh start.

I think destiny will still be a better game , there's just no content right now. Crucible needs to be fixed not tweaked.

If you haven't left destiny already why leave? The game can't possibly get any worse.

6 RespuestasHow many games were supposed to kill Destiny now? I've lost count.
-
I was hoping it would be the life game replacement, but I wasn't impressed with the beta at all.
-
The division sucks
-
2 RespuestasPoor control glitches at times. Less than stellar graphics in my opinion. That being said, I'm getting it but it's not replacing destiny.
-
5 RespuestasI love to snipe in most games. What bugs me about The Division is how to scope in on a sniper, your screen goes black and then you have a scope in front of you. That, in my opinion, is the worst way they could make a sniper scope in. I would prefer to have the screen zoom into the scope as I scope in. That, alone, could honestly determine whether or not I get this game.
-
Unless it improves greatly over the beta (and I mean GREATLY beta was shit) I will probably continue with pillars of eternity on PC returning to destiny only for the monthly IB (Im more a pvper) waiting for warhammer total war, cyberpunk 2077 and Deus ex MkD

Good Lord, it's about time. Less people also means less crowded servers and less lag. Please, don't let the door hit you guys.
