Kotaku sums up Destiny player burn-out

http://kotaku.com/five-months-in-hardcore-destiny-players-are-hitting-a-1684813586 This is not a bash. It comes from someone who, like many of us, really likes Destiny but is reaching a point of burn-out. The things that popped out to me are the lack of carrots and poor communication from Bungie. If you trawl the forums, you'll find many threads dedicated to each point made, but this is a handy summation of the frustration hardcore Destiny players are, and have been, facing of late. I'm no hater, and like Kirk, the article's author, I know there's an unbelievable game inside Destiny. I'm looking forward to HoW, but until then, it'll just have to be a strike now and again. Edit 1: You guys all rock. It's been a very clear-headed conversation in here so far, aside from some weak trolls. And thanks for the bumps! I think it's good to read what a lot of us have been thinking. Edit 2: I'm pretty sure the forum ninjas have buried any Kotaku-related posts so they don't trend. That's their prerogative, and somewhat understandable despite the normal levels of vitriol you can generally find on these forums. Feel free to bump if you think others should read it but, after over twenty-four hours of pretty constant replies from you crazy, magnificent bastards, it's fair to say that we don't need an article to spur healthy discussion about one of our favorite games.

    I bought Destiny about 4 days after it was released, I then left Destiny in early November when CoD came out (CoD's always been my main game, but since I liked Halo I gave Destiny a shot). I guess you could say I hit an early burn-out stage and was just frustrated with my VoG/Nightfall drops and the whole PvP aspect. When I left I only had 1 character which was a level 29 warlock. After 2-3 months of CoD (around mid January) I decided to go back to Destiny to see what transpired over those few months. Once I logged in everything felt new again and it was honestly very refreshing. I watched Youtube videos to see how "The Dark Below" was and after liking what I saw I bought it. Since then I have had a vex mytho drop for me, a Vision of Confluence, and most of the highly sought after Crota Weapons (Blackhammer, WoC, Abyss Defiant, etc.) I also spent a week leveling up 2 alts, one being a titan and the other a hunter. I'm now having more fun with Destiny than I did at launch and I think its because of the break I took. I can't see how anyone who plays Destiny as their primary game cannot be burned out by now. I'd suggest take a break and come back.
