Is it worth buying Destiny? (Destiny)

I'll reiterate something I said earlier, but more specifically. If you are concerned about those things, don't, under any circumstances, buy this game. Seriously. If you didn't want to buy it while playing it at first, none of the changes will have made it worthwhile.

The current quests are more grindy than at launch. TTK added a lot of story, but at the expense of more grinding and built in wait periods. Some things have been improved, but they're quality of life stuff, like turning in bounties in orbit, none of the fundamentals of the game have been modified, and the things you're upset about are now worse than when you last played. The crucible is now basically a science, so connection issues affect performance much more than they did at the beginning when people sucked.

Except for upgrade materials. Those are better.

This post speaks to me -- thanks for taking the time to spell it out. As a player of the social playlists in Halo, I really don't want my PvP experience to be work, so I'm glad you mentioned it being more like a science. It's also a shame to hear most of the improvements haven't been directly to the fundamentals. I guess that would be much more difficult for them to change. Maybe there's hope for Destiny 2.
