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.

Edited by Divine-Confetti: 2/11/2015 3:26:36 AMDestiny has just become more of a chore than anything. Kinda sick of it. Raid (with me doing 2/3 of it while the others talk about random pointless nonsense), nightfall (and weekly if I feel like it), and for the past couple of weeks, bounties to get my new gear leveled...which really isn't worth it since they'll be surpassed by new raid gear on day one of HoW. So yeaaaah, I plan on taking a long break from Destiny. Still going to see what's up, though. Love to keep up with the times when it comes to games.
