I can jump in and out, but it took some work. (Destiny)

Despite what some others in this thread are saying, Destiny isn't actually a game that you can just pick up and play whenever you feel like it.

While true, you're overplaying that fact. Vendor gear is 350 Light and would only take a few days of solid play to buy a full set. At that point you'd be Light Level ready for every Mission and Strike in the game as well as three of the four Raids.

That you can't jump straight into the very tip top highest level of competitive multiplayer is not the same thing as not being able to jump on and play essentially any mode of Destiny at any time.

I hear you, but I don't think I'm overplaying it at all. It is a "conditional" situation that will affect some players far more than others. It all comes down to taste/preferences. I can play 95% of Destiny's content at level 350, but it's the 95% that I almost never ever want to play. If my favorite activity was Patrol, then it would be a different story. But the activities that I find to be the most fun are the ones that Bungie puts the farthest "out of reach" until you get close to max level. And not just me... those are the activities that my friends want to play most often as well. So if I want to play with my friends, then once again I am forced to fight my way through the grind before the game opens up and offers true freedom of choice.
