grind free.

By definition you are meant to invest your time in them.

Anyone who doesn't do that has managed to avoid the hooks built into the game and its economy. Well done them but they are not playing the game as it was designed.

Yes, Bungie said that it catered to all types so, therefore, you could say that it was designed for casual play. But that would be stretching things too far because the claim that the game was designed solely for casual play is just not true. Spending a few minutes per day in the game is certainly possible but it is not what the game was designed for. Practically any game can be played for a few minutes at a time.

Bungie hired IS experts because they wanted players to spend a lot of time playing.
