Is it worth buying Destiny? (Destiny)

Year 2? I never hit 320 with any character, didn't get half of the new exotics, and post-update only play Destiny a handful of hours a week (the only three times that I played it the past couple of weeks were the HUDless Vault of glass (zero loot incentive), some CoO on Xbox, and last night's Oryx challenge and CotE (I only got on because of an invite).

The issue is that we have figured out the game systems. Back in year one, we simply didn't know how to play. Now we do. The element of discovery is gone. You can add more content, but so long as the game systems remain the same, we are already playing the game with a level of knowledge we didn't have year one, and skipping the discovery step. We've mastered the systems essentially, and are just playing through the content.

That is really the essence and fun of any game: learning how to play it.

The solution is unfortunately not adding new content. The solution is an entirely new game system. If Destiny 2 is simply a bunch more addons, you will have the same problem in year 3.
