I Really agree with you on the grind. Things like three of coins, prison of elders are way to easy and take the fun out of the grind. Iam a alpha day 1 player also. So it's annoying seeing destiny evolve in good ways. But also be way to new player friendly. I should be rewarded for being a loyal player with guns like thorn ice breaker and timed weapons. Like diablo and warframe. They have timed weapons were if you didnt play at the start you will not have them. I dont feel like iam a veteran of the game.
