You dont have to tell me about people complaining about time. Im a doctoral student, balancing a job, school, a gf, and other responsibilities. Yet, I understand and know... if I want to watch a movie... but have no time... I make time... or catch it in pieces. I dont expect the movie to be made into a 20 minute episode. SO yes, I blame them.

I guess my point is it's fairly safe to assume MOST gamers are not 24/7 hardcore pro's, while they are the ones you see on the forums because they eat sleep and probably pleasure themselves while thinking about 'the game'. Destiny has a lot of flaws not the least of which being that the substitute creative problem solving with bigger ammo sponges. Why make a boss smarter when you can just move the decimal on it's health over a few spots and up it's damage and fire rate. I've seen worse, heck I've been in 'raids' on MMO's that had 12+ hour boss fights, but to my thinking that does NOT appeal to the majority of gamers. So you're right we are not asking for the mechanics to be changed but that does not mean we are happy with what we got either.

The title "gamer" has been dished out everywhere. Look at the wii... that system got destroyed, because they appeal to casuals with party games. So, Im not sure if "most gamers" are or arent casuals. However, hardcore gamers arent 24/7 player only. I like to think they are gamers who are into a game for the challenge. One which has been robbed of us so many times...and Destiny is an example of another. The point, even as someone who is busy myself (doc student, gf, work, and other stuff)...I dont find myself getting on every day, but my experience has been robbed. I feel as if this game has moved from a deeply rich mechanics game with a deep story into just a shooter...might as well be a hack slash.

LOL this was never a deeply rich mechanics based game, nothing much has been altered except a couple weapons that were tweaked for balance. It's a PvP frag fest (a poor one at that) with a sorry attempt at a MMORPG tacked on. The only thing you've been robbed of was a fantasy that never existed.

There was supposed to be, but over time I think they changed it. Case in point: the strikes initially didnt have guaranteed drops.

Destiny was supposed to be a lot of things it just never delivered as for guaranteed drops if you count a useless class armor and a pair of rare lvl 12 gloves as a drop then yeah, totally nerfed it.
