"Value", "enough being enough" and that feeling of Déjà vu (Destiny)

I also can't agree with you that "the really interesting guns [in year 2] all involve quests with steps I can follow to get them". Some of them do, yes. And that's great. But literally none of the top-tier PvP weapons can be attained through quests (with the possible exception of Tlaloc). They're all completely RNG dependent.

When I say "The really interesting guns" I'm not talking about good roll legendaries. I'm talking about the TRULY unique guns, mainly the exotics that function incredibly differently, and the class specific weapons. The top-tier PvP weapons are not really all that unique, just good stats for the (current) meta.

All that said, I definitely understand why you feel the way you do, it's kind of the same thing with ANY loot based RPG. I think Bungie will continue to improve it, but I don't think it's ever going to get to the point where you can get exactly the legendary gun you want quickly, just like with most of these types of games. That's part of the reason I ditched Borderlands is because I DIDN'T enjoy the gameplay and the RNG drove me nuts on top of it. With Destiny I just enjoy the gameplay enough I don't care :) (and I'm glad you're partially there too).
