I just saw the gamespot video and i kind of agree with this, i never played WoW but i have logged over 500 hours of Destiny. I dont have everything but i have all the essentials so i only play ToO now. Dont get me wrong, i love this game as a FPS but i really never liked RNGesus. Since there isnt much of a story to keep playing like Halo im all pooped out and only want to play pvp every once in a while.
For all the noobs out there, you will get gassed out sometime before the next DLC. You will, however, keep playing as it takes much more time to come to terms with this reality. Ive seen many good friends come and go. Even the ones that initially got me hooked, ive tried to get them back for pvp or a raid like old times but ive had to find new buds to go flawless with and do quick raid runs.
Lets see how many actually have come to realize that Destiny is like going to an out of this world casino.
Comment if you have a different view or just want to reminisce on how much worse RNG was before TDB.

Edit#1: so i got called a hipster, that was exciting. We are at 70% yes for now, keeps going up. Look i enjoy pvp, i guess the slot machine comparison is only for people who really want a certain gun. The only ones i still dont have are fourth horseman and the foil. At this point, im not grinding strikes and raids weekly to try and maximize the likelihood of me getting these guns. Ill get them whenever the hell that this.

Edited by nbah3: 7/13/2015 10:43:14 PMIf Bungie really wanted to make a slot machine, then they did a pretty bad job. They removed farming for engrams and keys, this reduced playtime. They made loot drops insignificant outside of specific activities, again limiting playtime. HoW gave everyone a free exotic per character, all the added exotics are from a bounty that has a very night drop rate. Max level is no longer RNG. If this guy really wanted to crtizize these practices then he should have looked at mobile games that have literal slot machines giving in game currency and gear for REAL money, MMOs that have much lower drop rates and sub fees or micro transactions or even borderlands 2, a game that made players grind for the SAME weapon 8+ times. So why Destiny? Because it's popular (especially overseas) to hate and he knows that the video will get a lot of clicks a
