I totally agree. The incentive structure works against fun. (Destiny)

I think you've really captured what bugs me about the game. I want to compete in ToO and I have fun doing so, but I know that my gear isn't as good as it could be, so I try to figure out what I need and.. oh crap, to get the reward of better gear I need to do the grind of loads of bounties and a bunch of hoping item X will drop from a Nightfall and maybe running endless strikes to get weapon parts and I've gotta do PoE at level 34+ difficulty for the Etheric Light and... burn out. So much stuff I don't want to do (or might want to do under different circumstances but don't feel like doing at the time) stands in the way of improving my gear for the thing that I do want to do.

A thought just occurred to me... new thread inc.
