Put up or shut up time, Cody. (Destiny)

But that's aside from the point being made here about your demand for a reward and how it contradicts your dirge about investment.

I'm not sure how it really contradicts.

1. I do not like investment systems, because they stand between you and the fun parts of the game.
2. You need rewards to power your character up past level 20.
3. Many cool things require you to be greater than level 20.
4. Rewards are therefore required to do many cool things.
5. Many rewards are locked out, timed, rare, or are acquired after grinding. This includes Raid rewards, nightfall rewards, exotic currency and marks, etc.
6. Therefore doing cool things will require more of a hassle in the long run than if there was no investment system.

You can still have the thrill of discovery, uniqueness of weapons and gear, character progression, and everything else Destiny offers without having an investment system. Therefore, the investment system and reward lockouts together only harm the game ultimately. In fact, doing it without an investment system would ENHANCE these attributes of the game.
