I'm with you; earn = time invested. How is that not clear to everyone yet?

Because that's bogus. ... when the loot is purely RANDOM, time invested still means nothing. Random is still random, and in random loot systems, you will have people who will always fall to the extreme ends, either not get anything, or getting too much. Time invested doesn't apply, unless there are modifiers (I doubt it) that increase your chances over time, then again, random is still random. Time means you will get more attempts, but it doesn't mean that your chances will be any better. That's a problem when the idea is supposed to be "earn" your loot.

Because that's not how the real world works. In real life earn=accomplishing the goal set forth. I earn nothing if I walk into my business and stand there all day. I earn when I do the deeds necessary to be successful. Right now I stand In crucible while real life me poops and watches YouTube and this "earns" me rewards. I understand some people have short term employment like that but they never advance in their life. Because in the real world I have to go work to earn.

Because there's no skill involved, no more skill then there is in winning at a slot machine. You don't earn it, you get lucky.

Keeping people playing is how Bungie et al will make money on this game. They don't want you to beat everything in a week and stop playing. Not that I'm a huge fan of that, just saying that it makes business sense. That's what I was referring to before when I said that I don't know why people don't get it - seems obvious (albeit a pain in the ass - I'm with you all on that).

[quote] it keeps people coming back day after day. [/quote] And yet look at the forums, ablaze with people angry with the loot system contradicting what they said loot was even about. With this reception--and this is just Bungie.net, to say nothing about the rest of the internet--Destiny isn't going to live a healthy life.
