Are you losing interest in Destiny?

Has anyone else lost interest in Destiny since the expansion? I can't be the only one who feels like this, especially after all the time we've all put in. I absolutely love playing Destiny. I truly do. I'm not into many games at all, but I'm incredibly competitive. Regardless of what game I play, I like to put in the effort to be the best. So when it came to Destiny, I just had to be level 30. I enjoyed leveling up three different characters to 30. I enjoyed playing all three classes to their full potential. Now with Destiny though, I've just lost all interest after the DLC has launched. With all these idiotic changes that they've made to the new gear, re-leveling exotics, radiant materials, commendations, etc, I've just lost all interest in what little enjoyment I still had left. Everyone is getting screwed left and right and I just don't see the point in the grind anymore. I actually deleted my 30 Hunter to make a second Warlock because I knew there was no way in hell that I was going to re level more gear for a different class after the ludicrous ideas that Destiny are calling "patches". Why would I anyway? All I have to do is wait for the House of Wolves and then I can make a new class right up to where I left off (Hint: I can already do that). I can't be the only one who sees the insanity that Destiny is consistently producing. I'm not here to complain. Again, I love playing Destiny, I just won't be playing as much as I have when my progress will consistently be undermined without warning. Please tell me more of you out there feel like I do. By the way, the new Raid shotgun is an EXACT replica of the new Vanguard shotgun. I can't remember the name at the moment, but it has the EXACT same stats, lol. Why is my reward for beating the new raid just a regular shotgun that I can buy from the Vanguard armory? [b]Edit 1. Thank you for all your responses. I love reading how everyone feels about this game, regardless of it being positive or negative. Seems like I'm not the only one! Edit 2. I honestly can't believe this took off as much as it did. I wrote this late at night and I completely forgot I wrote it until I stumbled upon it in the morning. I'm so glad so many of you agree. These are your dedicated fans, Bungie. They're speaking up. Please take note of what we're trying to achieve with this feedback.[/b]

    As someone who loves space based sci fi, I completely bought into the concept, the aesthetics of the game and the incredible potential in it. The first couple of weeks of playing were incredible, I had finally found a slice of video game escapism in an awesome setting with exciting team/co op game play. The game has given me some truly enjoyable and memorable moments. There were several places however, where it did feel like a game that had its wings clipped and the repetition level 20 onwards soon set in. Despite this though, as a new game and one that seemingly had a promise of long term development I was happy to run with it and to see the universe expand and develop over time. I didn't think twice about ordering the expansion. I was so stoked to load the game and see the new content, the new areas.. but nothing, everything was the same. I actually had to double check to see that it had updated properly. I was hoping the expansion would include at least a new planet to set the new missions in. It felt pretty cheap to discover that the 'expansion' was just re hashed missions/bounties tagged on to the same environments, making The Dark Below practically indistinguishable from the core game. To me , only the new raid felt visually tied to the Dark Below's trailer. A real anti climax. Sure there are new PVP maps which are cool but its pretty concerning that despite the volume of feedback since launch from players regarding the lack of content that the first expansion is so water thin. This combined with all the other numerous and legitimate concerns about the RPG mechanics such as grinding, levelling, loot and value of players gear etc is causing me to loose interest. From reading commentary across the net and talking to friends, it really feels like people have fallen in love with this game and are pulling their hair out in frustration at seeing it fall short of its true potential.
