Burnout & Content, My Thoughts and Feelings (Destiny)

I think you've nailed the burnout factor here. The game is fun, and you want to keep playing, but...

- You've done everything in the current game and are burned out on that content.
AND
- The way items level up and gear is rewarded, the small things you haven't done (like max out all of your weapons or get a Gjallerhorn to finally drop) take a huge amount of time that is spent doing precisely the things that have burned you out.

The lack of content, combined with the punishing RNG loot system, combined with the lengthy weapon exp leveling system result in the player feeling forced into repetitive content loops that the player burned out on long ago. The result is not fun, even though these things were fun the first few times the player did them.
