But the games you spent thousands of dollars on you must've loved them. I did say Destiny was my second favorite game. Played other MMOs on my PC as a child and teenager and couldn't spend money on them when I wanted too but luckily I was liked enough in the community that people would buy me some stuff. Kinda glad I didn't spend money on them, not that I even could since I was a child. Those games gave great memories but not as great as Destiny.

It's all personal interpretation and experience of course, but for me the ONLY thing that kept me playing destiny was friends. Made lots of friends in year 1 that I play all types of other games with now. That was my best take away from destiny. I didn't find the content itself in destiny anything special (the VOG and KF being the exception, not the rule) and certainly would have been a one and done if playing solo. Maybe grind for loot games just aren't for me. I dont get the fun of repeating something that offers zero challenge and requires no mental agility for reward which is purely to run that same thing yet again. The best games in recent months (nearly a year of releases now) to me with the best experiences are all single player games (fo4, Witcher 3, uncharted, etc).

Reasonable, some of my friends don't like destiny either because of the grind. I guess growing up playing MMOs on my PC it made me like grind, hard to explain the grind but it wouldn't be the same if it wasn't with the people I spent it with. So many stories with so many different people. I do like uncharted :)
