Story Direction and Progressing (Destiny)

Our defeat of Oryx is something many powerful and prepared races failed to do. It is, perhaps, a turning point in galatic power. But you wouldn't know it unless you step away from your console.

I think we've had this discussion before, but isn't that sort of a problem in their storytelling at some point?

Atheon basically literally controls time, and the Guardians take him down. Crota comes in and invades (although he never seemed as big a threat as Atheon, to me). He goes down like a chump. Oryx comes in, and is the most powerful being in the galaxy (that we know of). We kill him largely without issue. What's next? It's the power-creep problem applied to a story. I mean, I know at the end of the day we're going to defeat whatever evil thing they throw at us, but it's just getting harder and harder for me to suspend disbelief at how absolutely unstoppable we are. If we get our power from the Traveler, why the hell couldn't it just take care of all this crap?
