You know what, I think you're right . . . (Destiny)

I can see how a person would feel left out and behind because they didn't stay in the loop.

That's really the main thing for me, I think. I don't NEED No Time to Explain, Black Spindle, or Sleeper Simulant (and whatever is still coming!), but I certainly WANT them, and taking a few week break from Destiny can leave players (me, for sure) feeling like they're missing out on great content. I'm just hoping the events keep coming around often enough to make them easy to obtain. It seems like they have been.

I don't believe it will be detrimental to the Destiny player base in the long run though. The same things that may run someone away, may also bring others in or cause some to play more. This weeks Festival of the Lost is a great example. Its really just for fun while being time limited. Folks who were going to abandon Destiny for Halo were probably brought back in at least for a bit to check out the cool experience. I personally have enjoyed this as much as anything in Destiny so far. The ambiance in the Tower is amazing right now. The candles, the howling and screaming. The silly masks and candy. How better to relax a player base who's getting stressed about Hard Mode Raids and upcoming Trials than with some goofy masks and silly quests.

I seriously cannot get over how cool this event is. I may have to put some time into this weekend despite enjoying Halo 5 immensely. As a side not on the event, the cheesy Halloween music that plays in the Tower is so, so, so great. It reminds me of using Luna in Peggle 2!

For some reason, the way you put this swayed my opinion. I have previously decided to take things easy and slow in Destiny (I always had for the most part), but missing out on No Time to Explain was kinda bumming me out, but you really just put it back into perspective for me.
