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.

  • Just read through it and it is a near perfect summation of the state of things to date. I stopped playing a week before Crota Hard mode came out. I couldn't care less about the meaningless grind. What really kills it for me though is just the immensity of the boredom of repetition burn out. The lack of meaningful communication from our overlords does not help matters either. "Here - look at another PSN/youtube/offsiter propaganda puppet that is new to B.net in Community Focus!!!!" *drags fingernails across a chalk board* I may return for HoW, but at this time I am not too certain. There has to be a vast improvement in WHY to care, why to play than we have been given.
