Grind vs. Content (Destiny)

This is the difference between content and grind. There are plenty of major AAA releases that give you dozens of hours of content, whether its GTA5, Skyrim, Dark Souls, Just Cause, Witcher 3, Etc. You get, at the very least a variety of content than can occupy you for a ton of time (and it comes with the base game, not after 80 dollars worth of DLC).

Destiny's base package offered about 15 hours worth of content, and the rest of was endlessly grinding experience bars (grind your levels, grind your guns, grind your abilities, grind the grind).

I pointed this out, among other things, when the game was released and people jumped down my throat.

Fortunately for myself, I never decided to get on the hamster wheel, but it is amusing to see every so often a post showing up here talking about how burnt out people are on this game.

So... you don't play Destiny any more?
