The hope of acquiring something is a cheap self defeating meta. And please explain to me how what you did in World of Warcraft has anything to do with how destiny should progress. You act like your experiences somehow elevate your opinion but if anything its the opposite.
Destiny is a chance to do something more, to do something better. That you are already fit to the mold of what has been done in another game (no matter its success/ failure) is insufficient reasoning to justify an outcome where what people have worked for becomes useless.
You and I are in the insignificant minority. 90% of the people who play this game simply do not spend the sort of time in games that you are suggesting should be the norm to stay competent in PvE activities.
Don't get me wrong, a fresh start is great for someone like me. But my time is becoming less and less available for destiny (the ONLY game I play anymore)
When faced with yet another "grind to acquire" after three of the same act walking away looks increasingly easy. Not just because my roster has depleted from people with less fortitude than me already walking away because the grind sucks, but because I'm sick of it myself.
Am I the only one/who wants to play just to f*cking play?
The idea that the game is all about getting stuff is totally wrong to me. If "become legend" really means "get stuff that will be worthless tomorrow" then I gotta say I'm pretty disappointed.
To go through the monumental effort to get something that will end up being a meaningless bauble?
No thanks count me out.
And if you want to play WoW go play it. This is Destiny, the future of shooters, I am here to become legend not be forgotten.

I can compare it to wow because it is comparable. If become legend meant obtain lot then every person in existence would be a legend. A legend is the stuff stories are made of, great accomplishments, feats of heroism, overcoming hardship and coming out on top. Becoming legend shouldn't have anything to do with loot, it should be the experience. If you are too blind and need to use the same gun for your supposed 10 years, I feel sorry for you. If you leave, good. One less toxic person we have to listen to.

That I could be considered toxic is laughable. The guns and gear in question are the physical tale of those deeds. Not only that but you seem to think I have trouble falling in love with new stuff.... Quite the contrary, I have put away fatebringer, and its replacement. But that decision was MINE to make. I didn't need it anymore. I found something that I love because of its own merits. The problem is not that "I need the same gun for ten years" blablah nonsense your spouting. It's that everything I am doing [url=http://www.example.com]right now[/url] will have been for nothing. I have been going to mercury three times a week for the time trials has been out hoping for a solar jewel that to this day won't drop. The amount of personal time I have invested in this pursuit is irresponsible and borderline reckless. The times I have had looking for this have been great. I've done and seen so much. Learned a lot about myself and a lot about others. Trials is the new raid for me in terms of cooperation. And that jewel will represent all of that to me. But like I already said. I have seen this cycle of grind force people off of my roster, yeah I might not be one of them but you can't say you don't see where I or anyone else is coming from. This is [u]not[/u] World of Warcraft. If that's what Bungie wants it to become then I'm gonna puke. And they can take my gun (that solar jewel I don't have... Yet) when they pry it from my cold dead hands. I won't give it up. I won't give any of them up, not my Praetorian Foil, not my Timurs lash, not my efrideets spear (s) Ever. See you on patrol in 5 years. Unless they shut down support for the original destiny by then.

Just wow. You eloquently put my thoughts and fear into a post that is so well written. I can't agree more with what you have said.
