[b]Short Explanation of Why the Taken King is a Failure - BUNGIE READ AND FIX[/b]
All of our efforts, grind and luck for a whole year wasted, as our old gear is not upgrade-able. Raid gear, Trials gear, POE gear, even exotics... all trashed.
The new light system is horrible, making the game more grindy and meticulous, eliminating customization whatsoever. The infusion system was added as a band aid afterthought, but punishes you by reducing your light level by 20% and eating up your marks, glimmer and materials.
The new raid is worse than VOG and TDB combined, and twice as long. Rather than requiring skill, its just a huge test of patience.
Trials of Osiris is currently gone, and still no private match support or in game ranking. Rosters are still a mess, not organized by alphabet, and clan roster is still nonexistant.
The Taken King - TaKing Away your Gear, and giving you 5000% more grind and nerfs. RIP Gally, Icebreaker, and new Black Spindle

Leaving all our old stuff behind was a good thing, wiped the slate clean, gave us something to work towards, rather than spending 5 minutes upgrading all our old stuff and sitting there thinking, well now what do I do? It got rid of the same boring loadouts I'd always see Fatebringer/BlackHammer/Gjallarhorn etc. It was boring and there was no variety. Ever since the Taken King came out, I've never seen such variety in Destiny before, people are actually using different weapons for once. It's like the Vanilla days all over again. The new light system is a hell of a lot better than the old one. Every point counts, rather than just bunches of 12s. Rather than suffering a 30% damage reduction for missing one light point, you only suffer, say a 2% reduction. The new raid is the best raid they've ever made. Actually has mechanics and while yes you can call the bosses bullet sponges, the way the fights work they need to be bullet sponges. Trials being gone right now is a good thing too. Lets them test the waters with Crucible, especially with the new subclasses being involved. Private matches and that sort of thing, I agree with you on. The Taken King - A hell of a lot better than what you're making it out to be.
