Back when Destiny first launched, it launched as a game for everyone. Anyone could hop on and take part in missions all over Sol and experience everything that the game had to offer. Wether you were Solo or with a friend there was something for all levels of gamer. Some like myself even met new friends theough the Crucible or Strikes that then lead to Raid teams.
Today, Destiny is a far cry from this great history. Want to take part in a Raid? Too bad -blam!- wad you dont have *Insert specific weapon here* or “You dont know what to do get the -blam!- out”. Want higher tier loot? Sorry only players who can no life Mythic and Fabled tier missions can get this armor or weapon tier. Want to play PvP? You better bring a full squad and pray you dont encounter hackers or youre gona be -blam!-. Bungie has taken a game that originally everyone could play and enjoy and turned it into a Streamer exclusive that only those whose JOB it is to sit at a computer or console for 20+ hours and make content can play it.
I am a casual. I play games for fun and to unwind after a long week of 12-16 hour shifts. And I, am no longer welcome here. EoF will be my last expansion. Though I will be seeing what the seasons at least have to offer. I do indeed regret my purchase as I thought things might be a touch better. I was wrong. So. To my brothers and sisters in the field of the Casual Gamer, I will see you in another game in a more enjoyable environment than this Elitist hellscape of a game we once called Destiny.

I have not bought the DLC but have dabbled a bit and the last two days I';m trying to find something I actually like about all these changes. So barely anything. They have resurrected a few older activities and they are slightly funner. I hate I can't just pop in and run strikes or better yet NF's!!! I do like I can choose one or two strikes and finally run them solo. I like that I hear the story line is decent and that I can, haven;t yet, watch streamers run it so I get the story without wasting money on this garbage. I like that II used the money I would have for the DLC on something else which now saves me over $2,500 a year and with that savings I'm now going on another Alaska cruise, week in Denali and trip up[ to Gate of the Arctic NP next year. Notice how most of my likes have everything to do with not playing this crap anymore! But I'll be honest I may run a couple solo ops tonight - kinda like back in the D1 Phogoth and original Crota sword bearer days when I'd come home from work totally upset with stupid undergrad 3yo tantrums and needed to go punch that ogre in the face or slam Crota to death and live to tell the tale! So miss the D1 days! Heck I miss my original pre-clan clan (many of which were some of my previous undergrad students but with healthy adult-like attitudes!) Damn I miss those days so much!!!
