I think the original comparison was time gates vs RNG or something. What you wrote sounds like you're playing slots (RNG). Wanting to rely on RNG all the time to get you to come back. That excitement of getting drops. That's not a game to me. I can't control it or create a valid strategy that doesn't rely on a pull of the handle ( slot mechanic). The game itself should be exciting. The part about being a completionist is a way to explain my addiction to the game. I am often questioned by my friends who moved on after the story line, "why do you enjoy running the same content over and over". It's the slot machine paradigm. I'm addicted. I've actually set a goal to fix this. Once I get all exotics and complete hm raid once I will consider myself done till next expansion. I did that with HOW. Didn't play for two months before TTK. Now just waiting for next arms day for my last exotic. I'll get hm done this weekend.
