Unrealistic Expectations? (Destiny)

It's meant for you to waste your time playing it.

In the sense that you aren't curing cancer but are passing the time pleasurably. Gave you happy face.

The other guys are using the term in the sense that you realize that you have sunk the time into a bad enterprise. Gave you sad face.

I guess I just look at this differently. I know it's entertainment and not expecting anything life changing to come from it. It's all a waste of time in general. no matter if it's a good time, bad time, frustrating, etc.... I always know that it's a waste of time. That just sets my expectations and allows me to not take gaming too seriously. If I don't like a game I'll just move on.
