The thinking is that they want your time, a LOT of your time (Destiny)

This is obviously well thought out and educated but it assumes quite a bit, especially an unvarying "we". For example, guns aren't in the top five reasons I play the game. And since I have fun with the gameplay and the world, I'm not going out of my way to level gear. It just happens naturally. I'm patient, I upgrade when I can and if I'm not having fun I quit for the night, regardless of some statistic or the progress of a little green bar.

If you can play that way, then that's fantastic. But some of us, who like the challenge of the high end content, have to keep up with everybody else playing it since you can't do it solo, and doing it unspoiled the first time is the most fun you can have with this game.
