Today I got curious and decided to do some math.
The question: Why people seem to be getting bored with the game.
I was having a conversation with someone earlier about why they were so upset with the amount of content in the game. Looking at his destiny tracker, and after some math.. I figured out why he was bored. It breaks down as follows:
Play time between his 3 characters: 912 Hours. (38 Days)
The game came out 6 months ago. So our base is 180 Days.
In 180 days, the average person getting the recommended amount of sleep (8 hours), sleeps for 60 of those 180 days (1,440 hours). (33%)
In 180 days, the average person working 5 days a week for 8 hours a day, works for 40 of those 180 days (960 hours). (22%)
Someone playing destiny for 912 hours, or 38 days accounts for 21.1% of those 180 days.
Adding these together, the average person with 912 hours of logged game time has spent 76.1% of the last 6 months of their life Sleeping, working, and playing Destiny alone.
These numbers do not include time taken to eat, exercise, shower, run errands / do chores or be with friends / family. But, everything else besides sleeping, working, and playing Destiny would account for 23.9% of their last 6 months of life.
Recap:
Time sleeping: 60 Days (33%)
Time Working: 40 Days (22%)
Time on Destiny: 38 Days (21.1%)
Everything Else: 43 Days (23.9%)
... no wonder you're bored with the game. 3/4 of your last 6 months has consisted of not being conscious, working, and playing the same game.
ADDED 8/5/15: I've logged 12.7 days (305 hours) in total. Haven't played much in the last 6 months (except the last 2 weeks i've gotten on a bit more to see what HoW is all about.)

Added Note: At 500 hours if you spent $60 on the game and $20(or was it $15?) on TBD like I did, that's $80 total spent - You've paid 16 cents ($0.16) an hour to play. To put that into perspective: The average play time through Metal Gear Solid 4 is 18:48 (we'll round up to 19 hours.) That game also cost $60 when it came out. That comes out to costing $3.18 an hour to play. That's three dollars and two cents($3.02) more per hour than Destiny(plus expansion) and you've gotten 480ish more hours of gameplay.

This post is now my favourite post. And frankly means I can tell players to get a life without feeling guilty 😆. It's WoW all over again. Then again a mmo is a success until it starts racking up a body count. I'm not sure what WoWs kill count is but I know it's in the double figures

2 답변I hate seeing the argument that if you played a lot then you got you're money's worth. That's not a good point considering most of that time was spent doing the same stuff. With the hope you would eventually need the gear/weapons for future purposes. Yes I spent a lot of time on this game but I honestly feel dumb for Doing so. I have logged more hours into other games and have felt hundreds of times more satisfied.

1 답변Does destiny tracker include time spent on deleted characters? I haven't deleted any but some peoples times may be incorrect if they restarted characters or finished the 3way farming of gear for the same race.

6 답변I think its crazy that people boast about having 1000+ hours logged into a game. Its not a good thing, its like someone bragging about being extremely obese. They're real life equivalents of honey booboo's mom
