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.

4 RepliesSaw this article linked on another thread by some guy trying to use it to support his ridiculous hyperbole and nearly didn't bother reading it. I'm glad I gave it a look though as it's one of the more balanced opinions I've read and does a good job of highlighting the bigger issues and why they are issues in the first place. I still think there is a lot to be said for differing mentalities towards the game as a large part of the complaining on these forums as well though. People with an MMO background like myself are used tithe ebb and flow of these kind of games. I actually kinda look forward to the point where I am able to get most content done in a day or 2 as it means I can player other things. When new content hits I'll be first in line to do it! Other gamers with different backgrounds seem to want a constant deluge of content and having to do something more than a few times bunches up their panties. Doesn't seem to bother them when they are playing the same 6 maps over and over on battlefield or CoD though which seems strange to me. Ultimately if you enjoy the game your gonna play it and if you want the game to improve because of that love you'll get well though out articles like the above. If you just don't like it and want to hate you'll end up with half the posts on this forum!
