Why I'm leaving. (Destiny)

The grind is awful. The RNG system is awful. If that's "the real game" that supposedly starts at level 20, then the real game sucks. People hate grinding for random loot drops. That's why so many players farm the cave in Old Russia. If Bungie has no actual content to sustain this game beyond the paid DLC, and if permutations on the grind are all we get included with the price of the main game, Destiny will fail.

I think far too many people have no idea what the post-20 game is. Here's a hint: It doesn't involve standing in front of a cave in Old Russia. In a week you can reach rank 2 with the Vanguard with just bounties and start purchasing Legendary gear with a shocking 100% success rate. No random loot drops, no Cryptarch involved.

There is nothing in Destiny that is reliant --RELIANT-- on random loot drops. Random loot drops may be one path towards your goal, but there is always a reliable alternative. Maybe that reliable alternative doesn't suit your timetable, but that doesn't negate it.

Bungie: Either provide a more complete experience at launch or go through with your promises for substantial free content updates. But don't do what you're doing now. Revise your strategy. Staying vigilant to your "vision" of the game won't mean anything when the game world becomes next to empty.

For Pete's sake, the game has been out for two weeks. Be reasonable in your expectations, maybe?
