So I was unable to play destiny yesterday since the internet at my hotel wasn't working.
While I couldn't play, I felt sad and upset that I couldn't do my bounties or the daily. I felt like I missed out.
After I got back home today and played destiny for a few hours, I felt really happy and satisfied.
Something bugs the shit out of me though, that I missed out on one day. The one day I haven't logged in to play since launch. Its really frustrating.
The world hasn't ended, nor has my life. I just feel like this game has taken the top position as my favorite pastime. Its usually some sort of video game anyway(or book, movie, TV, board game, music), its just interesting that a game designed to be so monotonous can leave me wanting to come back again and again.
I think they found out a way to inject crack into my eyeballs, just from looking at my TV screen.
Thoughts are welcome and thanks for reading my first post.
I appologize if this ends up in the wrong category.
Edit: You guys are awesome. Thanks for all the comments so far :)
Edit 2: Holy shit guys we're trending the top 10. Way to go addicts lol
Edit 3: When I created this post, it was mainly for my own need to address my connection to this game. I felt I needed a way to see how far down the rabbit hole I had gone, so to speak.
I welcome all comments regarding others personal attachments (or detachments) from all types, not just gaming. We are all capable of indulging too much in something we enjoy. The key is to not let it consume you and find help if you feel it might.
That's the hardest part for me. Identifying and admitting when I start to indulge too much.
The comments posted here since this began have allowed me to see that WE are not alone. WE are united.
I want to thank everyone for their support, their information, their stories and personal experiences. Its you guys that I'm addicted to. You guys make this game fun.
Now get the F out of here before I roll you all up and smoke you.

This article in Polygon explains how the loot-questing is getting even worse with the DLC and updates. It's no wonder people start to find that playing the game interferes in their life, considering the staggering amount of time you have to play just to keep up with friends. Right now, I'm working up the guts to do a full wipe of all my save data and then delete the game (as well as the two DLC's that purchased in advance, but haven't played). I've never done anything like that before, and 200 hours is a lot of time to flush down the can. But at some point, I have to recognize that Destiny wasn't something I played for fun like I do many other games. I was feeding an obsession for this "loot grind" the way a gambler chases that perfect hand. And ironically, I don't even get any financial reward the way a compulsive gambler would. I have to say, it's been almost comforting to read the other comments here, finding out that it's not just me.
