While I appreciate your right to an opinion, I think you're well off base about only fanboys claiming this to be fun.
I've ground quite a bit of this, though not nearly to the extremes that others have. I have 136 rare, 3 legendary and 5 keys. I'll be back to it after work.
The camaraderie with complete strangers is real and the world has never felt so inhabited.
Last night I spent 2 hours at skywatch with two complete strangers. Not a word was spoken but we slaughtered fallen in droves, stood shoulder to shoulder as the enemy moved against each other in force, defended warsats, pointed to the chest when we found it, sat in quiet contemplation on a roof waiting for wolves and had a spontaneous dance party. Our time together was cut short by the update kicking us (midway through a how event, frustratingly) but I have never had as much fun in the wastelands of patrol.
This has done more to hype me up than any of the reveals

As fun as raiding is, the unspoken moments you share with passing strangers are equally satisfying. I still hold that Bungies insistence on utilising party chat if you want to communicate was spot on. Most folk are silent anyway haha

Got 4. Rotate characters. It may help or it might not but it worked for me.

Glad you had a good time. Yes, this was definately a bonding event (and thankfully, as I tried but could not do the final Forgotten Shore boss solo)

This was my experience too. I found it quite fun, but I don't play specifically for the rewards.
-
The catch of course is that without the rewards you wouldn't have the company of the other guardians. The rewards are icing. If the grind weren't fun I wouldn't be there

Of course, but everyone seems to enjoy nuking Fallen
-
forget that salvage is dropping the weapons right now
-
Only salvage?
-
seems like it so far but I've gotten 3 weapons so far

The keyword being hype, average destiny twitch streamers was like 250+ for weeks,it went up over a 1000 consistently since the new content. HOW is going to blow everyone socks off with the volume of combined content now IMO
