It's a shame, because grind *can* be fun (Destiny)

I used to think Destiny's problems were standard MMO problems. But then I played other MMOs.

In the last year I've spent about as much on FFXIV as I did on the first year of Destiny and got a lot more content out of it. Sure, it's still grindy (that is an MMO problem) but there's a ludicrous amount of variety. 12 very different classes, 50+ dungeons, 46 Raid Bosses (plus 29 significantly more difficult/complex HMs), 5 24-man dungeons, 16 Dungeon-lite activities, minigames, an actual plot (plus additional stories for 8 classes and 12 jobs), etc.

You can absolutely have grind that's still fun. Or at least varied enough that it doesnt wear on you. Destiny just isn't trying very hard.
