Lack of Discovery (Destiny)

Agreed. I never disagreed. No arguing on my end. I just take umbrage with the notion of "reasonable amount of time"

Rhetorical:
What do you consider a reasonable amount of time?
I wonder what the developer considers a reasonable amount of time? I wonder if it is even a quantified and significant consideration in the equation?

It's all good. I come off as argumentative a lot of the time when I don't mean to.

As for reasonable amount of time, I guess I can't answer that. It's different for everyone. I got all four within three days of completing the main campaign, within six or eight hours of play time. A lot of folks I've talked to have had similar experiences with it. That doesn't seem unreasonable to me. Sounds like you've had a much harder time than most the people I'm aware of.

I play Destiny very casually and am okay with being "behind" other players.

This surpises me. My perception was wrong and probably not based in reality.

I play three times a week at most. Currently sitting at Light Level 300. I don't have Touch of Malice, don't have an exotic sword, don't have any of the class specific exotics from the Gunsmith (I can't get any freaking scout rifles to drop for dismantling! And I forgot to order any for Armsday last week). I do have Sleeper Simulant. Still haven't even found the FWC Ghost for No Time to Explain.

I guess I am hardcore in that I know about all of these things and how to do them (because I hang out here), but I'm not hardcore in my play. While I do play a lot at times, I don't play like a lot of hardcore players do. I do what I feel like in order to have fun, not because I need to do it for a sword (screw you, Hadium Flakes!). I might never get the Chaperone because of it's Crucible questline (Exotic Swords are in the same boat), unless I can get a buddy to help me cheese through parts of it. I haven't even STARTED the Chaperone quest, because I'm not even Rank 3 in Crucible so I don't have it yet.

Anyway, that was longer than I intended, but I wanted you to know where I'm coming from.

TL;DR:

Bungie's new system is awful, especially for casual players. I've seen it said elsewhere before, but it's like Bungie designed a lot of the new content based around the opinions and experiences of twitch streamers that play the game everyday for eight or ten hours. Yeah, gating things make sense if everyone plays like that. For folks like me that are lucky to play eight hours a WEEK, it sucks, and it's holding me back arbitrarily when the little amount of time I get to play does that already. When I actually do get to log on, I don't get to work towards the things I want just because Bungie says so. And that sucks.
