Why are players quitting Destiny?

What do you guys think of this!? I've been noticing a HUGE decline in my friends who play Destiny still! Most of my REAL LIFE friends all stopped playing except me and others whom I met online have quit as well! Two of my old clans have vanished! My friends list slashed in half! EDIT: out of my old clan and 182 friends on PSN, all of which used to play destiny, there are 72 online and 2 of them are playing Destiny! So if this trend continues its going to be slim pickens! I feel like its getting worse by the day! **[b]PLEASE BUMP THIS UP[/b] so Bungie will see this!*** Why do you think players are quitting? Do you know of anyone else who has quit? Chime in let us know why you will quit playing or not?

  • Because we're f***ing bored. The loot system suffers from being designed to artificially prolong gameplay but fails to deliver any worthwhile results in most cases. Grinding for rewards is tedious and a lot of times the weapon drops aren't worthwhile. Vendors never refresh with different gun rolls, either, so the chance to buy something awesome seldom comes around and only adds to the feeling of stagnation. There's no aesthetic customization options outside of shaders (some of which require insane grinding of factions with no guarantee of a drop) so any sense of character individuality is gone at endgame levels. My level 32 hunter looks like every other 32 hunter, with the exception of "what Iron Banner gear am I using instead of Crota gear?" to change my looks up. This is compounded by having to wear faction items instead of any of the collection of legendary cloaks I like to buy. I look and feel like a clone. Meddling developers shit on player progress with asinine weapon balancing going on constantly. The auto rifle nerf basically made the weapon class garbage-tier, so anyone who sank time and materials into maxing them out are basically sporting paperweights rotting in a Vault while being railroaded into using whatever Bungie's pet weapon class at the time is. The development team's incessant meddling alienates the playerbase further by posting updates with an air of playful, condescending bullshit with each new installment. It becomes clear that they do not listen to their community whatsoever, and fallback heavily on their mantra of [b]"That's not how we meant for you to play."[/b] Raid cheeses and exploits are hunted down and patched with stalwart, uncompromising efficiency but game breaking problems like Raid boss fights acting crazy are never addressed. All of these problems take place across an underwhelming amount of content for a AAA title, also. This is even moreso the case if you're an Xbox player, where you'll also be without several Strikes, and numerous weapons and other equipment. The game just isn't very fun, and the grind isn't worth the effort. And the unpredictability and lack of foresight of the dev team always has the potential to f*** over whichever weapon class I'm most fond of, based upon arbitrary numbers over genuine player feedback. House of Wolves will either save this game, or it will be its coffin nail.
