First I am dying from reading that. But for actual criticism, Destiny is a FPS MMO with cleverly used group instances/public areas. That is it. I love the idea and it works pretty well most of the time but that is not the issue. The issue is that there is so much that is out that has had no forethought. Bounties that are impossible (Salvage when you can't play it, Queen's bounties with class pieces you cant buy, etc) and IB which gives no incentives for staying if you are losing or penalty if you leave. Why am I getting bounties for Exotics I already have? - These were not thought out and it is evident. Going on with the lack of forethought, what do you do when you hit level 20? Well, you grind rep until you get all legendary and buy an exotic until you hit level 27-28. None of the Limited Time Events have any draw to people who have legendaries already. Oh Queen's Blue gear? I already have full legendaries from the different factions. Need a gun? Buy one of the most OP guns from Xur for pretty much nothing. [b]I did not earn it[/b]. The only weapons you can earn in Exotic Bounties are nothing in comparison to what I have bought from him. Then your ONLY option to get any farther is to do the Raid, once per week (unless you have 3 of one char-type). Then what? Well, that is it. Why was everyone doing the loot cave? Because the other incentives were either not there or [b]people would rather spend hours shooting into a back hole your alternatives. [/b] If nothing else this says a ton. Make the grind fun and not repetitive. Make people feed good when they beat a boss or accomplish something. Then when you reach the Glorious 30, give people something to do. Area that gives special gear or rankings to try to beat others and be the best or a wave mode for the elite. If you make the grind fun and give enjoyable endgame content then you make people want to make it to 30 then keep playing and enjoy it.
