Destiny Addicts Support Group

Hello my name is Patrick, and I'm a Destiny addict. I have quit this game twice before, and I am trying to quit for a third and final time. We all know why Destiny is a problem: [b]-It demands more time than most productive people are capable of providing without serious compromise in other areas of life -It only rewards said time on an occasional basis, creating an addictive and unfulfilling compulsion loop -It is a social game with barren worlds, lacking matchmaking for most activities and severely limited in ways to make friends. -Accessing high-level content requires unhealthy amounts of repetition of lower-level content. Subsequently grinding out high-level content requires progressively more time while offering progressively less value to the player.[/b] The result of these factors is a sad, lonely, mostly single-player grind upwards to some intangible goal, focused very little on the journey and more on an ultimate destination that doesn't even exist. I have continued to pump money into this franchise because of every games journalist's insistence that the experience is improving. Even though that may be true, the aforementioned issues have never been and never will be seriously addressed because [b]they are an essential part of how Destiny's creators are making money.[/b] I have created this thread in the hopes that people can post their stories and know that they're not alone in this hamster wheel. My fundamental hope is that this thread's popularity could signal to Bungivision that the way they have created their game is good for profit but ultimately hurtful to its players.

  • I too am an addict. I would delete my characters but I uninstalled before the though crossed my mind and MCC is taking too much HDD space to reinstall just to delete them. If I cannot break this forum habit after today I plan on working on getting forum banned. Shouldn't be too hard since apparently "p*opie" and "f*ol" are enough to get someone banned.
