I guess the easiest way to explain my perspective is this: the grinding is not what I expected or wanted from this game. I love Halo and Mass Effect, I was expecting something more like them. Solid plot, lots of variety, and an open explorable world (as we were promised in old prerelease interviews). I have all 3 characters at 27, 28, 29 and have very little to do except find better equipment and run through the same few missions ad nauseum. Most of the fun I have in this game comes from playing with friends, which really is not something that Destiny provided on its own. Tack on that I have never been a fan of PvP even when for games that I *am* good at, and you can see how much of this game is shut off from me. So what I was promised was epic spaceventure with an incredible plot written by one of the most respected storytellers in the industry, and what I was given was a game with half the plot missing and propped up on a PvP system that I find inaccessible. So while I enjoyed this game, and will continue to play it (once connection issues from this last patch clear up), I have a disappointment equivalent to the flimsy ending of Halo 2 or ME3. In another perspective: I expected to have a Mass Effect campaign plot, and was given Counterstrike Multi and Battlefield instead. Neither are bad on their own merits, but I may not have bought this game had I known just how much the multi was emphasized.
