On the fence about The Taken King (Destiny)

The very small number of things in Destiny that are fun for me are *very* fun, but they also require hours upon hours of grindy, repetitive, not at all fun tasks that I've done tens of times in order for me to be at all competitive.

I think I got a week of solid, totally fun play out of HoW. That's... about 10 hours of playtime for me.

But now I'm in a rut where the only fun thing for me is ToO, which requires 2 friends willing to put in the time and effort, as well as LOTS of leveling up my gear, grinding for Etheric Light, etc... none of which is fun for me at all anymore.

Frankly, it's not worth it to me anymore. There are many games I have which I have not finished that are fun for me all of the time, as opposed to Destiny which is fun *if my friends are online, *if the right number of my friends are online, *if it's a specific day of the week, and *if I put in lots of not fun time in order to keep my character competitive. That's a hell of a lot of caveats on my free time.
