Now before we all start clamoring over one another to shout out our most recent peeves on what Destiny did to us today, let's stop and think about this. If you don't know what I mean, try this: Go to wherever it is you play games and turn off the lights. Turn up the TV, turn off your phone, and cancel out any and all other distractions. Just play Destiny.
It's boring. Why is it boring?
Is it just me that experiences this?
I like the gunplay, of course. The gunplay is really what draws me to the game, that and some kind of tantilizing addiction to the gear dangled just out of reach by the random loot generator.
But that's not what I mean.
When I stop planning out my character and exit the PS party or turn off the movie on my computer and actually focus on what's happening in the game, I get this overwhelming urge to stop and play or watch something more interesting because the game is [i]boring[/i].
Why is that?

The game is boring because it makes you endlessly grind for no reward. You get a chance for a reward but 90% of the time it is not something you want. Players are unable to set a path or goals and meet those goals.
