I feel your pain friend. On release the gameplay mechanics were solid enough to warrant a good amount of gametime. Though the longer I played the more it felt like doing work than playing a videogame. Countless griding and every update Bungie tweaks something to increase the grind. Their concept of longevity is doing the same shit over and over. It makes a man sick. I dropped the game before HOW but when my friendslist was full of people playing the TTK I caved and bought the expansion. Big mistake. Standing around grinding the same shit over and over. They took the worst concepts of mmos and ignored the good ones. -end rant
