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.

Exactly. Ive played since beta. Hardcore. 1000+ hours. With the push back of HoW I am taking a mmuch needed break. Bungie looks to never listen to thier pve fans and add an event besides iron banner that caters to us. The game is now very boring having aquired all content two weeks after hard mode dropped. No reason to raid, unless helping friends, have all exotics, have an abundance of coins, shards, energies, commendations, and all legendary weapons I can hold. Strikes get boring, pvp is a joke imo. So what can I do but move on until they decide to give the dedicated players something worth returning for. I just hope they pushed it back to add content, story, and a raid to remember. If they release something that could have been released now, I probably wont come back for future expansions and move on to next game. I love destiny though and I hope it can be turned around. But it looks to be turning into a pvp based game, instead of the open world co-op game it was advertised to be. Its all there bungie, you can still fix it and players will stay and those that left will return. Fix your game before it becomes a one year wonder. And your ten year plan gets flushed down the toilet. Keep the game fresh not repetitive. Id pay monthly if I had to if it was only way.to add new content regularly instead of every five or six months.
