Yes, true about the carrot.... I a good majority of people play for the loot, but at it's core Destiny is supposed to be a social game, a team game. That's why there are different classes, with different traits and abilities, not to be "balanced" and the same, but to work well with each other in order to stomp a mudhole in the arses of the bad guys... I love the game either way, and it's always awesome when you get matched up with other like minded guardians...
