Feeling burned out... NOT another I quit Destiny Rant.

Hey fellow Destiny gamers/addicts, Before I start if like to say that this is not another I quit Destiny rant/ Destiny sucks forum. It's a I'm getting pretty tired of Destiny but still play it type of forum. I've been playing Destiny for quite some time now and I have been hooked since I started. I've always been a Call of Duty player (every single Cod except the last one.. In my opinion it is shiiithouse) I'm at the stage where I'm trying to find a good reason to keep playing apart from the reason of maxing my Grimore... [b]I really just want to find out from the community what is keeping you guys hooked? [/b]I still do all my nightfalls/weekly's, both raids and try to help others that don't have much experience to do them. Apart from the above and my recent love for the crucible I find myself lacking a reason to keep playing. If anyone else is in the same box please let me know :) or if anyone feels differently about it please share. hate and flame is always welcome and so are the grammar police (you guys are top notch and help us lower class guardians heaps :) EDIT: bumped my own post (I hate it when people do this... Meh) EDIT 2: Thanks to everyone sharing their opinions, I'm glad yet very unhappy to see that there are a lot of people in the same shoes as me but we will be back to full on mo fo grinding when HoW drops. EDIT 3: Thanks for all the feedback guys, I'll try get back to all of you as soon as I can. It seems like there is a large portion of the community that feels the same but just remember HoW is only a couple of months away. Keep the feedback coming peeps.

    OK here goes... Do you remember when WOW came out? it set the template for most, if not all modern day MMO's. I played it to death myself then quit as soon as I realized it was "go to new area, kill same monsters 100 times with slightly different color skins, progress to next area". I suddenly asked myself why on earth I spent 2 years regurgitating the same tasks, even PvP was largely boring. The biggest gripe I had though, was the vast expansions they released, only to be followed by a torrent of "this is bugged to crap" posts on the WOW forums, to the point where they were still fixing Burning Crusade stuff while Wrath of the Lich King was in full swing. Now lets take Destiny: - it's fresh to the market and the first FPS MMO that I'm aware of. - it's a 10 year plan, which we are barely a year into. - the content which has been released (apart from Crota on Hard I'll grant you) has been largely bug free (I mean the sort of bugs that make you want to throw your computer out the window). - it takes the best of Halo multiplayer (which is the only thing that even interested me on Halo, never liked the story but that's personal preference) and allows you to play it when you want. Now as it stands they have pushed HoW until May, that's fine as long as they don't push their entire schedule to match, they should be releasing HoW then the next expansion within 2 months to keep in line with the original release schedule, I imagine they largely have the next expansion worked on anyways as they had an original schedule which didn't foresee a delay with HoW, plus it will keep everyone interested for longer. If it were me, I would have kept Iron Banner and the Queens stuff there permanently, then created 2 more "only every so often" events, it would have given everyone more to do and give some more life to the game. There needs to be more reason to play different modes, start making rare mats drop in crucible for crafting things, add things to craft like ships, speeders, I would even add a medium storage room to ships, so you can put old raid gear inside display cases so your not just deleting them, they can go on show. Just give people more to do in general. However, as I said before, 10 year plan, barely a year in. Give them chance, I would rather this game progress bug free with a few stalls than release 100 expansions and be fixing 40 of them simultaneously. You could have a break, ill be playing Witcher 3, Planetside 2 and a few others. Destiny will always be my primary game, because it trumps the sheer immaturity and poor coding of COD, it also trumps Battlefield I'm sad to say as I believe Hardline was a massive cash-in using BF4's core. All they did was slap new skins on everything and tweak the modes, boring and disappointing as I used to hold Battlefield in the highest regard! played it since BF2 through BF2142, Bad Company, BF3 and BF4. Taking a break can work, but try to see the big picture, it'll either be big and buggy, or slow and smooth, give them time.
