"COD esque"? Just because they don't love farming, eh? Hmmm, strange opinion you have there. I've had 3 level 30s since last week, and I farmed because it was necessary, but definitely not always fun. I love the fact that we can buy mats now and I would never consider myself "COD esque". And living for the grind? Most of us live for real life, you know, job, gf/wife, family, etc. People can now farm much less so they can enjoy a bit more real life. Who the hell cares about determining who is a "real mmo / grinder type player" anyways? Play the game however you want to. It's odd the people that judge other people by how somebody plays the game. All Bungie did was do us all a favor by adding this option. If that takes away your ability to determine if somebody is a "true grinder", my question is why the hell do you care in the first place? LOL
