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.

  • Great article. Destiny when it's great, it's REALLY great. Get a good skilled team together that communicates and knows what they are doing, strikes and raids in particular are awesome. Also when an exotic piece of loot drops that you want it's a really great feeling of accomplishment if you get it in a raid. However, both of these instances seem to be getting rarer. Most of the experienced and skilled players have moved on, so using lfg to get a raid together is an exercise in futility. Also the frankly broken rng loot system pushes many players too far. I have had nothing but ascendant materials and strange coins for weeks now from nightfalls. To make matters worse, the weekly Santa that is xur hasn't brought anything I have actually wanted in months. I used to rump on Friday mornings excited. Now I just view the xur thread on reddit and sigh with annoyance. Also, bungie being fast to fix glitches that help players, but when it comes to game breaking wipe inducing glitches that kill guardians all the time, they ignore them. I love the game, but I think I love my memories of playing it more than my desire to play much more.
