I think your story is the norm! Good to see others enjoying the game as much as me. Most of us thoroughly enjoy Destiny, but there is always that 5% minority that will find a way to spotlight the negative in everything! I am having a blast, and I just joined the PSN with the Destiny PS4, therefore had no online contacts at all (all on XBLive). Slowly but surely, thanks to the forums, I am building a regular group of Destiny friends to spend some time with online...point is, this game is what you make it. It can suck if you feel entitled to having the best of everything (gear, wpns, cloak, band, etc...) handed to you, or with just a little effort, it can be a blast to play solo or with a group and earn those exotic/legendary rewards!
