Let me preface this by saying that right now I am beside my self in just anger and hatred at how these time-gate events work. I tried so hard to reach level 50 this week and I -blam!-ing failed.
Destiny is the ONLY game I play. It's the only thing I play/use to relax during my off time. I am in my early 30's, married, I have a two-year-old, I have a career, I help my wife with her business that she started, and I help my Dad with his business. I don't have a lot of free time but I definitely have need of taking time to myself weekly to relax and unwind. Destiny this week did the exact opposite. I was filled with pressure, with anxiety, with stress to the point where now, the day after the faction rally is over, I am depressed and literally on the verge of tears. This -blam!-ing sucks. This game doesn't respect our time and our efforts and I'm -blam!-ing tired of it.
I get that when you designed this time gate system, you did it with the with 40 hours a week playing pricks in mind but this system actively punishes people like me. And there's a lot of us. All through the community, you can see people say how they actively had to prioritize this game instead of sleep. People were literally leading an unhealthy lifestyle just to try and get that god damn ornament. That is the type of behavior that you are promoting! I couldn't do that as my job needs me to be 100% rested and aware as the safety of others is involved. Either way, people shouldn't have to do that! We should be able to tackle challenges at our own pace. Rallies should just be a challenge to see who can accrue the most tokens in a week and maybe allows us to change allegiances, but every other week you should allow us to continue to gather them at a slower pace than when it's not a rally.
Your artificial ceilings are getting to damn annoying. The weekly milestones being the only way to level up, lack of meaningful armor. God effing dam it have you guys not played ANY OTHER RPG? Can you imagine if when playing Final Fantasy, you could only level up so far every week? Or Pokemon, you can only increase your Pokemon by 5 levels weekly? How quickly do you think you would stop playing a game like that.
You are actively hiding how shallow Destiny is by purposely forcing us to improve slowly. You guys suck at RPGs.
I'm so pissed I have to wait a month to finish off Dead Orbit. I really hope Anthem and the Division are good next year so I can officially move on.
