No you grind for but progress was due more to luck than effort.

That what RNG is. Luck. That was why people played this game, because of that system. Now that everything is just handed to you after you do an activity once, there is no point in playing the game

That's not how thes games work. Loot is often RNG. But all [i]progression[/i] being left up to luck is poor game design. Most loot based games have a character skill tree that gives the player most of their new abilities in predictable, EXP based manner. With the loot just being the icing on the cake. Destiny made the mistake of having that skill tree hit a wall very early in the game.... the all progression after that coming down to winning pulls at a slot machine. Because the loot was both the icing AND the cake.

It was, and most of everyone was happy with that. At least me and everyone else i knew. Up until the end of year 1 when everything was made obsolete my friends and I had almost no problems with how Destiny did things.

[i]Forever 29.[/i] Is not what you label a loot system you are happy with.

Forever 29 wasn't even that bad. So what, you didn't hit max level. That doesn't stop you from beating the raid on hard week after week

Twelve raids and only getting only one piece of raid armor is a [i]wall.[/i]

Oh yes it was that bad. I lived through it. Progression walls drive people out of games.
