I've been playing Destiny since the day it came out. Didn't hear about it till one of my bosses told me about it, I work at Target so it was right in front of me when I was working. Pick up a copy and have been playing it non stop, though I do play extremely less when the content has been out for a while or when an update like "House of Wolves" and the "April Update" comes and makes the game extremely easy to get everything. [b]Nevertheless I still love this amazing game.[/b]
Anyways I made this thread because there is a spot in my room where I just keep stuff a like, I mean stuff I really love, some is games, some is music, and some is souvenirs that mean something to me. Then I notice how much of that stuff is destiny, a lot of it then I was wondering how much money I spend on Destiny so I started thinking.
[u]Money spent on everything involving Destiny[/u] :
Destiny - $ 54.37
Dark Below + House of Wolves - $ 34.99
Destiny The Taken King (Digital Download) - $ 39.99
Destiny The Taken King Collectors Edition - $ 98.04
Taken King PS4 - $ 362.51
Silver (total amount) - $ 259.93
-*Note*This silver was bought of a course of nine months
-$20 for the orginal emotes
-$40 for the Festival of Lost event and emotes
-$50 on SRL and emotes
-$150 on all 3 sets of Desolate gear, should't have been this much but I was being stupid and opened chest on my Warlock to try to get the Titan and Hunter set.
Bungie Store (total amount) - $154.18
Destiny Rise of Iron - $29.99
Bungie's Twitch Channel - $15.00
[b]Total Amount - $1,049.00[/b]
After I did that math I was so shocked, never thought I end up spending that much on a game and stuff that relates to that game. Then I started looking at how much time I play destiny on wastedondestiny.com . Not sure if it adds time afk in the tower, or time afk in orbit in all of it.
[b]Total time spent playing Destiny - 1,744 hours, that is 10 weeks 2 days 16 hours 45 minutes and 22 seconds.[/b]
I love this game, it is my second favorite game of all time, first is Tales of Symphonia as seen in the picture. But I do have some interesting stories for Destiny. When TTK dropped and I had class I made sure I woke up at 4am and played for 3 hours before I had to head out for class. When Kings Fall came out, I had to work from 6am to 2:30 but my boss let me come in from 4:am to 12:30 so I can go home and play the raid right when it came out.
Played this game with friends/family/co-workers and so many random people online. Made lots of new friends through LFG and from forums and some enemies arguing. Its just been like any other MMO I've played in the past, very time consuming and got to love the grind with friends, get mad when I don't get something I want then it extremely happy when you finally get what I've been hunting for.
[b]I really do love this game, but am I too obsessed with it? How much money have you guys spent on Destiny, also how much time?[/b]

If youre paying your bills, ebjoying time with friends and maybe a significant other, and still have money and arent broke, WHO CARES. Enjoy something you like and be happy man. You do you. Dont let a bunch of kids who post wortwortwort tell you what to do with your life.

$259.93 on silver? Wow pathetic, seek help.
-

-

Edited by Grymmlee: 6/19/2016 3:55:12 PMSymphonia was great.

1508 hours and 368 deleted hours (remade my hunter), so 1876 hours. 60+20+20+40+10=$150 is what I've spent in total (base game + dlc + replacement disc). So, less than 10 cents per hour? Seems worth it to me.

Yours is beyond addiction. Money wise.
-
calm down with the silver. it's not necessary to buy all the emotes/sparrows
-
Addiction comes in many forms and has many voices.
-
Time wise, you're good. Money wise, you're insane
-
You donated to Destiny's Twitch channel? [spoiler]You monster.[/spoiler]
-
3005 hours with 799 hours deleted. Restarted my lock and Titan when they upped vault space. Close to 4k hours. I got my money's worth.
-
bump for edits, added more money I spent. Forgot about the twitch channel.

I love the game too mate. I probably spent more money than I should have on Silver, but not nearly as much as you.....not even like 1/16th as much as you. I have around 1500 hours but I played other shit in between. I quit for 4 months after crota come out, then 2 months after HoW came out. I quit during TTK around January, started playing a little bit more during Crimson Doubles, stopped for about a month and a half for the Division, played a couple raids and trials, stopped again for UC4, stopped again for Overwatch. It's good to quit this game for a little while here and there. It makes you appreciate how much you enjoy playing it whenever you haven't played it for a month or two. I've been playing a lot more since the April Update, but it still doesn't catch my attention as much as it did right when it came out and right when TTK dropped. Some of the best games I played that took me away from this were Bloodborne, Dying Light, UC4, The Division (Even though I was a bit disappointed with this one) and Overwatch. Until Dawn is a great game too. Don't burn yourself out on it too much. Now I just mainly get on the weekends for Trials. Now that it isn't on this weekend, I might go bsck to paying some Dying Light and Overwatch

I've spent over 1400 hours on Destiny, glad someone has beat that because I thought I was the only one lol!
-
There's no such thing as "too obsessed with destiny" ;)
-
I have bout 10 hrs played
-
I wouldn't say u addicted to destiny with those hours u have , most of day one players have double of hours u have, but u seems not to have a good judgement when it comes to money I can understand 20£ of silver but 200 is just stupid that could bought u more games to enjoy,, rule number1 never ever spend money on armour cose u only goin to dismantle them soon as a new dlc comes out

Edited by PhoneticLand: 6/18/2016 1:38:43 PMThere's no reason to view your passion as a bad thing. Just be careful with sterling treasure. I believe in supporting the company but the RNG can make it addicting, I recommend either not buying any at all due to your passion, or just make sure all the rest of your finances are in order. (Not trying to say I'm assuming their not, but I've been in that position from things like sterling treasure and it is not fun) Cheers mate

Nah, you're good. Also, kudos on Tales of Symphonia.
-
250 dollars on silver lmao...
-
Ive bought most of that and have 2859 hours played :c. I always request off the day of an expansion drop as well as 2 or so days after. When a new raid comes out I grind it out to 100+ completions within the first few weeks. After ive made the raid stale, i farm in the crucible until the next raid comes out.

1621 hours

1700? Thats it? Im at 2000 hrs plus.
