It's the social interaction, not the game (Destiny)

by Kahzgul, Sunday, November 08, 2015, 14:41 (3398 days ago) @ CruelLEGACEY

I will occasionally hop into chat with my Destiny playing friends while I do something else and I instantly stop missing Destiny. The game's focus on fireteams and raid activities has created social peer pressure to continually log on in order to keep from letting your friends down, paired with the fun of playing with your friends.

I remember when I quit WoW, it was like I lost 50 friends all at once. It was really rough.
