With the base game, I did everything, got stuck at 'forever 29' and stopped playing in November when Halo MCC and Dragon Age dropped. Stayed gone for a month before some friends talked me into playing it the new DLC. Got back on, had fun for awhile, then played some other games for a bit. Then HoW dropped, played that for a bit, left, and the process has repeated this DLC, but it seems like I stick around less and less before I burn out again.
I played the original all the time, trying to collect everything. Still never finished VoG because I only really had one character done during that time and couldn't be bothered to play my others past level 20. But Dragon Age dropped and everything was thrust to the wayside to play that.
Crota, it was okay, but the raid became easy. I stuck around, once again trying to get some of the gear. I wanted to be max light.
Skolas. This was better than Crota, but the lack of raid, and the near worthlessness of PoE just killed my enthusiasm. I had artificial difficulty in games. Actually put in a challenge. If the only way you can make it consistently challenging is by making the enemies stronger than I can ever be, you have failed as a developer. I only ran PoE for etheric light, but only for so long, and for the tier II weapons. Got what I wanted, for most part, but couldn't be bothered to keep running it. Skolas was just more tedious and annoying than fun.
Enter Oryx. Far, far better, but I have no desire to raid. My main still has a 300 chestpiece from the first raid, and I just don't care. Primaries have nothing worth it on them. No burns? Really? People say they felt obligated to use them because they had burn. I used SUROS all the time, even when auto rifles were crap. I only put on elementals during nightfall or PoE when a burn called for it.
This whole DLC? Timegate exotics/ships/etc. are not going to keep me coming back. I'll do them, but it'll be done in like an hour and I can go back to fun elsewhere. I watch the forums, because it's posted all over when one pops up. Nightfalls? Not worth it at all. You mean I can get 17 strange coins? I can get 10 three of coins? I can get a legendary that I'll dismantle for 3 legendary marks? Woo... I ran nightfalls for the chance at exotics. That was the only way to get armor, save Xur. Three of coins has rendered both moot. The only exotic I can get right now is Telesto, because that is my Gjallarhorn this time around, but you know how gear is supposed to avoid as many duplicates and try to get you what you don't have? Tell that to my 5 Hereafters and 4 Invectives. Not a single Telesto. All the potential rewards I can get from nightfall/exotic chest from raid? Shards/worthless stuff. The raid? What's the point anyway. Woo I can get over 300 to run it 100 more times before I hit 310 because RNG doesn't like me? Now I can run hard mode and have to deal with more overleveled enemies with cheap tricks killing me just so I can run it again and again and again praying for the gear to get me to 318/319? What's the point of it all?
I'm not having fun with this game much anymore, and I feel it's almost time to retire it. Each burnout leaves me coming back for less and less time. I'm tired of getting garbage, I'm tired of grinding with little to no chance of getting what I desire. I'm tired of timegates, or content locked away from me. I'm tired of year-long exclusive BS. Hey, here's Destiny 2! But you'll have to play Destiny 1 for another month or so just trying to get the PS exclusive stuff because you can't get it/do it in Destiny 2.
Every exotic should have a NON-TIMEGATED QUEST to get it. If I finish it all and have nothing left to do, that's my own damn fault, and have no reason to complain about a lack of stuff to do. When I spend a lot of time trying to get something just to get a big middle finger as a reward, I don't feel the urge to come back.
This DLC started as fresh and wonderful but has become worse than year 1 ever was for me. Maybe Bungie will get it through their heads that this kind of stuff doesn't make people feel good or want to come back, but I doubt they will.
I'll keep an eye on the next DLC, and will probably end up finishing the first game, but at this point Destiny 2 is probably not something I want to do if it stays the same way.
TLDR; I'm tired of everything and I'm just sticking around hoping it gets better, but I'm close to being done.
