Like many of you, I spent countless hours this weekend grinding the "wolves" events in search of treasure keys. It was fun for about the first hour or two... but after that it was irritating beyond belief.
I found 2 keys and 2 legendary engrams.... and a shit ton of blue engrams.
I can't believe they actually thought this would be a good idea or fun for us players. HoW isn't even out yet and I'm already feeling completely let down. The mindless idiocy of running back and forth between 2 spots on a map... fighting the same fight over and over and opening chest after disappointing chest.... is this a sign of what the rest of the DLC is going to be like?
I'm sure many of you will disagree with me and that's likely because these forums are filled with a lot of people who will be fans of the game no matter how much it goes to shit.
Anyway... If I'm doing a patrol bounty and stumble across a wolf event, I'll stop and do it... but beyond that... I'm DONE with that tedious grind!

Funny enough, I came back after a month off (burned out after a thousand hours) and I thought that for the 8 or so hours I farmed, that it was refreshing to have a challenge in patrol... By challenge I'm referring to challenging yourself to see how many times you could grab the chest in 1:30...my best was 3 (missed 4 a couple of times by a second or two...). This unintended game mechanic provided me with a casual enough way to come back to the game without the burnout factor and something a little different than the typical grind that Destiny had become...here's hoping we don't need to wait 6 months before Comet drops. I have a feeling the HOW content isn't quite going to be enough to hold me over until then...
