First of all please let me assure you this isn't a "-blam!- you Bungie I quit" or an "(insert game) I'm leaving for is going to kill Destiny" it just my attempt to put into words my feeling I hope it comes across salt free. [b] I love Destiny[/b]. I loved the idea of it before it was released and even though we didn't quite get the game we were originally promised I loved what arrived.  What Bungie released was an awesome, original and beautiful game.  I enjoyed playing the story (and didn't mind that I had to read most of it outside the actual game) I enjoyed the PvP although to be honest I was terrible at it. But what really grabbed me was the raid.  The first time I descended into the Vault of Glass with a bunch of friends I had met through LFG I was mesmerised the mechanics the atmosphere it was almost overwhelming. We didn't finish it that first time and I'm actually glad we didn't. We came back and tried again the next time we were all online. It was such an achievement beating it. Forever 29 lol, it wasn't bad, it wasn't a grind I knew eventually I would get that elusive piece. Then the Dark Below was released and Crotas End. I have to admit I was one of the people who enjoyed it right from the start. Again we didn't beat him the first time but we did and like the Vault we repeatedly ran it for the loot. Prison of Elders again I lapped it up, it was different and although I was initially disappointed there was no raid included Skolas was (if not at first with the burns lol) almost as challenging. I loved year 1. It never felt like a grind trying to get the loot. And here we come to the sad farewell. The much anticipated release of the huge DLC The Taken King. It was magnificent. At first. I liked the changes to light and levelling, the new way Bungie included the story into cut scenes. It was quite amazing. Until you were a month or so in and had beaten the raid and realised not only did you have to fight RNG for that elusive piece of armour you had to fight RNG for light that dropped anywhere between 300 and 320. It was painful. Not only that it suddenly dawned on you that the beloved content from year 1 was practically irrelevant apart from a nostalgic run. You could go on patrol and get green items that were higher light. Even new players had no reason with the introduction of an item that boosted you straight to 25. So we now come to the point where my exit nears. Events......  I'm retired, an old man by most Destiny players standards. Do I want to collect candy to buy masks? No not really. My kids grew out of trick or treating 10 years ago lol Was I remotely interested in racing a sparrow? No not really. Do I want a Valentines day experience? No Not really my wife would rather watch soap operas than play video games (she despairs at my video game obsession) These events might be fun for Bungies younger audience but for (lol) grown ups like myself, I just want to shoot things in the unique way Bungie hooked me in year 1. Now I probably could have ignored the events and just played the content I enjoy the raids and strikes and the odd match in the crucible and waited patiently for the next DLC but then a popular gaming website released some news that this new "Events" model was here to stay, no new DLC would be released in year 2. Well with Bungie shutting up shop for neatly two months over Christmas it's now almost 6 months and no announcements about new content for the guardians who prefer PvE. Oh PvP up to our eyeballs but nothing else. Well here is the goodbye. Thank you Bungie for the awesome journey my time here has been brilliant and I think the hours I have put in show that. But it's time for us to part ways. You have lost sight of what made Destiny special and unique. I don't have any bad feelings just a little sadness. So farewell Destiny and farewell my fellow Guardians the ones I've played with and the ones I might have. I hope you have fun. NIEMININ OUT. TL:DR I love Destiny but Bungie have lost sight of what they do best. So Goodbye and good luck. Edit 1: Thank you for the many varied comments. There is no right or wrong in this, it was just an attempt to put in words how I feel about a video game. Anyhow thanks. Edit 2: A common question seems to be "Why if you are quitting do you reply to people?" The simple and honest answer is out of courtesy. If someone takes the time to reply be it positive or negative the least I can do is offer them a response. Edit 3: I've just unsubscribed from the forum so will no longer receive updates. Thank you to all who posted and all who post after.
