I'm not historically a Bungie hater. I have even defended them many times saying people who got bored of the game probably play too much and roll through the content by playing 10 hours a day. But no more. I have come to the dark side. I actually agree with you. I'm only at 297, so I haven't put in the hours that many others have. I haven't even completed the raid yet. And I still agree completely with what you've said here. I always felt the pull of this game's addiction until the last couple of weeks. TTK ran its course pretty quickly and left us feeling like there's not much to play for. That carrot, as you say, is no longer there. One big complaint I have is that they went from 2 playable raids with usable gear, plus the Prison, to just one raid now. They added 4 or 5 strikes, but then removed another 4. So yes there's new stuff to do, but the overall amount of content is less. And before anyone gives me the argument that it's an MMO so content gets left behind... That's all well and good in WoW when there's plenty of new content to get into. But in this case there is not plenty of new content. They should have kept the old stuff relevant.
