I was the #1 All-Time Ranked Player in Wisconsin for almost half of those hours too. This is my limit. I'm done, and I'm not ashamed to say so. I think I made a big enough splash in the water.
Peace.

Don't normally care for these posts but I'm in a similar boat with regards to my grimoire and interest level. I still love what this franchise *could* be, but I doubt it ever will truly blossom. Just looking at the number of hate posts in response tells me all I need to know, because they're exactly who Bungie pandered to and the game is suffering for it - filthy casuals who couldn't care less 1 way or the other. And that's why you don't pander to them. It's OK, smart even, to make your game more accessible for a wider audience but not if that means sacrificing core mechanics and content, like how they intentionally lowered the skill ceiling for PvP and simply hand out "eng game" drops just for being in a clan. When you dumb your game down like that, nobody wins. I really, really hate how gaming has gone mainstream. Back when I was kid and it was considered "nerdy" developers still actually cared about putting out quality, FINISHED products. Now it's all about scamming the masses into getting as many pre-orders as possible and teasing people with potential fixes via paid DLC.
