You're dead to me. I don't have time to explain why I don't have time to explain; but you've been dead for a long time.
I could tell you that I've waited years for a concept like Destiny. I could tell you of playing WoW for 8 years. I could tell you that I've wished Bioware would have made a Mass Effect mmorpg first person shooter. Now, after the poor reception of your game, it's even more doubtful they'll do it anyway.
Thanks a lot.
What the hell is going on? I have no idea what's happening in this game. I shoot stuff and almost never get rewarded. Not a single legendary or exotic reward in any game mode. Level 29 Titan, level 28 Hunter. With as many hours as I've played, I honestly feel like I've given your product a fair shot. I have Vanguard rep leveled. I've got Cruicible rep leveled, yet almost everything my character owns, I've bought with marks. Where am I being rewarded?
I'm forced OUT of the game world and onto 3rd party websites and forums in order to form groups. How could you possibly have believed that this was in good design? Don't get me wrong, the world is beautiful, but listening to you talk, I believed we'd be flying to these other worlds on our personal space crafts, exploring and making connections with other players and NPCs. I've not built one meaningful relationship with any NPC. My most frequent visit is the Cryptarch, who gives me lots of blues Blues, which are broken down into hoards of parts that I cannot even use, because getting loot is so uncommon! My most frequent companion is my Ghost and he does NOTHING special at all, and is completely non - interactive.
I don't feel emotionally attached or involved with my character because he has no choices short of a talent tree and a gear loadout. There is nothing special about him at all.
I just don't understand how you launched this game when you had so much at your disposal to draw on. Mass Effect, Borderlands, World of Warcraft, Star Wars the Old Republic, The Elder Scrolls, Guild Wars, Gears of War... Etc. You could have taken bits and pieces that make those titles so great, incorporated them into Destiny, and been the light at the end of the tunnel for all the MMORPG FPS hopefuls.

The list could go on.. I can't understand how you failed with so many ideas to incorporate into this. It's heartbreaking. I honestly wanted this to succeed. Now, all I can do is ask myself just how much can simply be patched in.
