I'm pretty burned out on Destiny, but I'm not a 'hardcore player', and I can't really identify with those sentiments once the writer starts talking about raiding. I've played a few hours in the past week, week and a half: nobody I know seems to be playing, and I'm really only interested in upgrading my armor so my main can be 31 all the time. Destiny's progression is probably the most transparent attempt to waste the player's time that I've seen since I was playing Star Wars: the Old Republic. It's [i]obnoxious[/i], and without people to play with, it's gotten pretty boring.
