The Cargo Cult of Game Mechanics (Destiny)

Oh, it's a Skinner Box.

I'm just saying that it isn't exploitative enough for it's ultimate Skinner Box nature to be a problem, to me.

If the fun that's being had is legitimate, than that's enough for me; I find replaying the same parts to be fun, and that's what the game is. Someone who doesn't find that fun at all, but who's still playing it because of the bars going up, is where a problem comes in. I don't think Destiny is that exploitative that the latter case arises to a worrisome degree.
