Turns out the ability to have multiple characters, but not feel obligated to keep those multiple characters on the cutting edge, is not a universally-held one.

Also this:

I think the problem that I'm having is that so much of the House of Wolves requires a party, and I'm not sure when I'll be playing so organizing stuff hasn't been happening. Creating a new character gives me something to do that I can do alone.

Guess it wasn't worded clearly, so I'll try again:

The content I want to play, I haven't been able to play because it can't be played solo and I've been a mess with scheduling things lately.

Sure, I can go and create these other characters again just to have something I could actually do by myself, but I really don't enjoy them. If I did, I wouldn't have deleted them in the first place (that, and yes, they felt like an obligation to me. I'm getting better at that, but I'm not the only one who has posted here lately about Destiny play ending up a tiny bit unhealthy at times).
