[quote]You make an interesting point that I thought of the other day. I haven't played in a while and I thought "is it just because I'm old" which was kind of a scary thought. The truth is probably a mixture of both. At the same time, I'm always curious about how many of us on the forums were Day 1 people and how many of us existed on the forums when Destiny was just a whisper of excitement. If the answer is "most of us" then Bungie should be somewhat worried about their core audience based off of the general vibe of these forums, lol.[/quote] Been playing since beta of d1 when I was in 7th grade…played all throughout middle school, highschool, college, and now currently in university and when I look back at this game it makes [i]me[/i] feel old. To be honest part of me can’t tell whether I think D1 was better because of just being younger and more naive and lenient to the shortcomings of destiny 1. Then the other part of me thinks “nah they handled Destiny 1 way better from TTK in 2015 and onwards” I mean hell I watched a 2 hour long ‘history of destiny’ and just seeing all of the content those DLC’s launched with back then compared to the amount of content you get for the same if not more money now, it’s kinda sad.

[quote]In some ways certainly. I miss the simplicity of the weapon and class upgrade trees from D1. They made it more worth it to invest in a gun, and they lacked the over-complication of current systems. Even shaders were cooler and felt like significant displays of accomplishment. You knew who had completed certain activities just from a glance and there were exotics that felt mythical. I always liked the idea of Destiny because it felt like a place that would help people create their own personal legends. Now everyone is a legend, but they are all the exact same legend.[/quote] As a day 1 player myself, all I got to say to your statement is this: Truest truth to have ever been trued.
