It was this time 3 years ago....

That I would have been waiting in orbit with my regular Fire Team, eagerly waiting to run Vault of Glass. We would be overly hyped about whether one of us would be blessed by RNG to get Praetorian Foil, Corrective Measure, Vex Mythoclast amongst all the other worth while "To Grind For" loot. 3 Weeks into Destiny 2 and what do we have to be over hyped for? Patrols, Nightfalls and a Raid that just gives Glimmer and Tokens (If you're lucky.) In-Game activities that give you Glimmer and Planet Tokens. YAWN. Empty Loot Caches, even after popping a planet scout to find them. Re-Skinned Weapons. Await a DLC that is basically rehashed shit. But alas, the fanboys are still here defending Bungie. [spoiler]I don't need to use the #bait tag do I?[/spoiler]

  • People bitch and moan about how grindy vanilla destiny was but I shit you not if you were lucky enough/put in the hours to hit level 30 or even just completed a nightfall and had the glowing head, when you went to the tower you were a God/Goddess with everyone following you around, inspecting you and spamming invites for your help/advise. I miss those days when gear was elusive and a real ball ache to get, it actually felt like it meant something. But let’s face it Bungie has been trying to move away from that model ever since and aim more towards the casual gaming market (I don’t say that as a bad thing, gaming meant to be casual. It’s a “GAME” after all) due to the massive drop off of players in Vanilla once they hit level 20 and the light system came into play. Ultimately the moral of the story is, you can’t please all of the people, all of the time. People who enjoyed the Vanilla grind are generally unhappy with the new model, where as people who felt shut off/locked out during Vanilla are generally happy with it as they feel entitled to access all of the content on a game which they paid there hard earned money to play. [spoiler]whilst I’m aware this was a bait post, I felt the need to comment as it has sparked an interesting conversation[/spoiler]
