Destiny you paid for a beta tester not a game.
Basically it seems like they are still trying to figure it out when in fact it was already done. What we end up with is a story full of holes, like who really knows what's going on and who goes off game to read the grimoire. While I appreciate them listening to the players it seems that the game started as one awesome epic mmo has evolved into basically a shooter with an emphasis on pvp even though only 10% of players play pvp (thanks to Activision for trying to push a call of Duty game plan). With every update comes hey let's try this or let's try that. My question is where are the visionaries who originally designed destiny and why did they let this game get butchered and my hope is that this games future content is more solid and concrete. I want a full game up front with Destiny 2,3 and so forth I don't want betas unless they are free testers and I don't want bits of content pulled from the game then sold back to me when I have paid full price for a full game. Thanks for reading.

They want simple watered down non-complex content and don't care about story driven content or well developed characters. I'd be willing to bet at least 80% of Destiny's playerbase simply just want to get on for a few hours with their friends and shoot aliens in the face and that is all they care about. Mobile games make a TON of money on pretty much the exact same model we see being used in Destiny in terms of the content. This mobile gaming model is going to start spilling over into consoles because the companies have seen how much money there is to be made there by just putting out simple repetitive watered down content. Just the pay walls in Destiny are the DLC releases. There is going to be a huge DLC drop in September (Taken King) and considering it has nearly 3 times the content of the prior two DLCs that dropped for $20, I would assume it is going to cost at least $40-60 as another "add on" to the game. At that point you'll have spent $150ish and still don't have what I would call a full game content wise. We are just lucky Activision still has enough sense to not put microtransactions in Destiny, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it soon as it is in the contract with Bungie that microtransactions are allowed as an add on to the game. I just see so many people calling this one of the best games they've ever played and the only logical conclusion I can draw from that is that the majority of Destiny's playerbase is very young and either hasn't played many games or just doesn't know any better.
