And the ideals of this game lasting 10 Years would leave bungie broke as fuck because any fan-base they build they instantly lose because how often they fuck up You know, I agree with you in a few areas. The servers are awful. The upgrade system for TDB was pretty awful. The story is extremely lacking. Nobody tells you what in the fuck is really going on. The story, I think, fleshes out if you read the Grimoire. But you shouldn't have to leave the game to read it in the first place. That's like if Halo skipped out on story so that they could write books on it. There are Halo books, yeah, but they SUPPLEMENT the existing story instead of introducing it. That's Destiny's issue. The Grimoire shouldn't NEED to exist for things to make sense.

But, here's where I disagree with you. The 'tedium' was really only there in the beginning of the game- between 4-6 lists of bounties every day, the Daily Heroic mission, the Daily Crucible playlist, the Weekly Nightfall, the Weekly Heroic, two Raids, the Prison of Elders, Strike Playlists, Iron Banner, Trials of Osiris, and Crucible in general, I spend a lot of time with the game every week. Now, this is friggin Bungie, and I feel the gameplay is up to par. The reason guns are buffed and nerfed is so that players don't rely too heavily on one weapon type- I'm looking at you, Thorn-. They're trying to make Crucible as balanced as possible. But, they don't always buff or nerf guns based off of PvP. Take Black Hammer as an example. But all the guns are very fun to use, even if they aren't very effective. Cranking out kills with a Vestian Dynasty, Suros Regime, or Hard Light always makes me feel like a juggernaut. I think all guns are worthy candidates for collection and use. Anyone who has played against a team full of run-and-gun No Land Beyond users will agree (the gun's shit for anything else.) As for the fan base thing, I'd say you're wrong. I've been a part of Bungie's community for a long time. The Halo fanbase is alive and well, and Destiny's fanbase is both critical and protective of the game, and this site is proof, in some small part, that Destiny's fanbase hasn't been lost. Activision is the people we should be blaming for the shittiest parts of Destiny. I'm not saying Bungie has done no wrong, but Activision is the big problem here.
