This is not a bash. It comes from someone who, like many of us, really likes Destiny but is reaching a point of burn-out. The things that popped out to me are the lack of carrots and poor communication from Bungie.
If you trawl the forums, you'll find many threads dedicated to each point made, but this is a handy summation of the frustration hardcore Destiny players are, and have been, facing of late.
I'm no hater, and like Kirk, the article's author, I know there's an unbelievable game inside Destiny. I'm looking forward to HoW, but until then, it'll just have to be a strike now and again.
Edit 1: You guys all rock. It's been a very clear-headed conversation in here so far, aside from some weak trolls. And thanks for the bumps! I think it's good to read what a lot of us have been thinking.
Edit 2: I'm pretty sure the forum ninjas have buried any Kotaku-related posts so they don't trend. That's their prerogative, and somewhat understandable despite the normal levels of vitriol you can generally find on these forums.
Feel free to bump if you think others should read it but, after over twenty-four hours of pretty constant replies from you crazy, magnificent bastards, it's fair to say that we don't need an article to spur healthy discussion about one of our favorite games.

One more thing, thinking you're going to kill a boss in another attempt or two, but taking six more hours, isn't new to raiding, happens in WoW all the time. But the difference is in WoW that's because fights are so tightly tuned that it takes that long before everyone doesn't make a mistake. In destiny it takes that long because the CE is shit designed and bugs ruin half of all attempts. Edit: Oh and I agree, I'm tired of Deej basically taking thinly veiled shots at us in every update, why is the only great post from Bungie on neogaf?
