That's because you play as it was designed. (Destiny)

by Cody Miller , Music of the Spheres - Never Forgot, Monday, December 15, 2014, 13:43 (3633 days ago) @ Leviathan

I also can't understand playing 250 hours and saying the game is broken again and again on the forum... Something. Does. Not. Compute!

1. Lots of stuff in Destiny is very fun.
2. A lot of that fun stuff requires doing a bunch of not so fun stuff that takes a long time before you can start it.
3. The fun stuff covered under 1 is generally fun enough to justify not having fun with 2.

I hope that makes it clear.
