I want to know what Bungie was thinking (Destiny)

Why does Bungie think that people were mindlessly shooting in the loot cave not wanting to play the game? Because playing the game when you are 22+ kind of sucks. The fact that folks would rather spend their time at the loot cave than playing the game should be deeply embarrassing.

Every game with the potential for grinding gets this. Usually the people who do it quit playing before too long, unless there is a ton of end game content and they're just trying to get to it fast. Closest example off the top of my head that's been like Destiny was Borderlands 2. A lot of people were farming bosses endlessly to get skins and perfect stats on rare weapons that all had ridiculously low drop rates. And I'd say it had less overall end game content until it's DLC with Raid bosses came out, and the level cap was raised along with harder game modes. But that took months and months. Gearbox also nerfed the gear that made farming fast-ish pretty quick too.

Really, I just don't understand why people are doing it in Destiny. It's one thing to grind chests for components here and there, but from what I've seen most cave farmers were doing it to grind EXP and really shit engram drops. I'm 28 and the only grinding I've done so far is chest runs for Spinmetal and the like, and a bit of grinding for this Queen event, like farming the stupid Walkers.
