Destiny becomes the most fun game I've played. (Destiny)

TTK finishes outside of the top 15.

Very interesting. Sorry if you've covered this before, but what is it about TTK that makes you enjoy the game so much less than year 1? When you say "Destiny becomes the most fun game I've played" are you including TDB and HoW, or are you speaking strictly of vanilla? Just curious :)

I'm including the original two DLCs (although, HoW started a decline for me). I'm strictly a PvE player, so I should say that upfront. But basically what Funk said except that I do enjoy the raid. The double RNG drops in the raid really, really irritated me as well as now needing twice as many drops in order to be max level. Also, nightfalls and weekly heroics went from something I look forward to every week to practically irrelevant.

But the guns being noticeably less fun to use is the biggest reason. I really enjoyed Destiny (and still do enjoy it in moderation) because murdering a bunch of weirdly shaped things with awesome weapons was a ton of fun. I could go back and do year 1 activities with year 1 weapons, but then the game loses it's sense of progression, which is obviously a huge draw.

I can totally understand where you are coming from. I personally don't think it's that much of a grind, but then again I'm playing Destiny super relaxed. As for the raid, I agree. I like the mechanics, but it's a bit heavy for me in terms of time/work. I understand for more hardcore players it's great.

As for the weapons in Vanilla vs. TTK, I think you are right in that vanilla was better. And I'm mostly talking exotics here. However, I think that TTK exotic armor is better than vanilla. So there is that.
