[quote]. When I got to this stage I actually enjoyed and appreciated the game a lot more for its social and gameplay mechanics rather than enjoying it because of its Skinner Box (Google this theory if you aren't aware and see how it relates to Destiny).

Good advice! Once you understand some of the manipulation going on in games like Destiny, it helps....maybe not to cease playing entirely, but at least to recognize some of the unhealthy aspects of the game.

Aye, I've read that. Yeah I agree, around December I read an article from Bungie's research lead (I can try and find it if you haven't read it) on how to 'keep players playing' through patterns and reinforcement. Nearly everything discussed has been implemented in to Destiny. Simply reading the theory behind it seemed to knock me out of my trance-like state of incessant grinding. Obviously [i]all[/i] games' ultimately aim is for this, however, it just seems a lot more prominent in Destiny.
