I wiped twice in that strike in the Strike playlist and quit (Destiny)

it's not worth the effort.

The strike playlist is to farm loot. I could have finished 3 short strikes in the time it would have taken to do that one.

If I had been playing for pleasure I would have chosen that Strike and I would have seen it through to the end.

This is a loot based game; Bungie has strongly emphasized that it is a loot based game. If I want to choose my encounters then I go to the map and pick the one I want. But I don't get as much loot.

So, OK, I will play the game the way Bungie wants me to (till I get bored with it). I will be mercenary and will optimize my loot collection. I assume that is the way the game is meant to be played.

For me, loot based games suck.

-PS I spent most of tonight helping a mate get through the story missions. I got no loot for that and had a blast. :-)
