20 hours??? I'm at 700 on Vanilla + TDB + HOW
no one can tell you what you will or will not find fun
TBH I find it fun
I didn't play it for nearly a whole year and now im bummed about that as I picked it up again and its still really fun
Is there a reason you left for nearly a whole year? I did the exact same thing with Warframe so that just kind of like creepy because these two games are constantly being compare with one another. I just don't want to play another game that I already played.
its a "MMO"
grinding does indeed = content
this isn't new, been the case since forever. EQ,WOW,FF,AION,.....
Is Destiny really that fun? I know many people compare Warframe to Destiny but while I do see the similarity, it not really the same game. Warframe is not in first person so it going to be a different experience.
A lot of people say Warframe is better so I'm not sure if I want to dive into Destiny. I got bore and tire of Warframe repetitiveness and I have had over 500 hours in that game so I don't know if It be the same for Destiny?
WoW expansion came out like the week before Crotas end came out, I think the first time I logged back in since then is when Ghorn was for sale on Xur a cpl weeks ago
I have no idea what you just said mate? I think this was meant for someone else? I never mention WoW and I don't know waht Crotas and Ghorn or Xur is?
You asked him why he left Destiny for a year.
He responded that he left Destiny because world of warcraft ("WoW") came out with a new expansion a week before Crota's End (Destiny's the Dark Below expansion raid) came out, thus he quit Destiny to go play WoW.
Ghorn = Gjallahorn (exotic weapon in Destiny)
Xur = (special NPC in Destiny)
Hope that helps.

I did the same thing as Anubis in Destiny. I quit playing On April 7 according to my Bungie profile page. He left before I did, but both of us were playing daily before Crota's End released. I left because I was sick of the game cheating me with rewards. The weekly heroic strike would reward you with 9 strange coins on hard by default. I was consistently getting 6 strange coins from the weekly nightfall strike which is actually harder to complete. After 4 weeks in a row of getting coins, ascendent shards, or a weapon I would dismantle anyway I quit playing the game. The loot system was broken. Might still be I dunno. When playing a game like Diablo 3 I am tossed tons of loot from a major boss in a rift for example. I don't have to hope that the one reward you get for completing a 30minute mission will be something decent. There's not enough chances to get the weapons and armor I actually needed. They made you do raids to get armor and upgrade materials to progress in levels and often the one piece you need would never drop. Worse is you can only do the raid once a week per character. I was running it twice on the same class hoping for the drops I need and the game seemed to know what you want and give you something worthless to you.
The game was fun when I was playing, but I really got annoyed at the loot system and all that. The game got to the point where people would only take those who had a Gjallarhorn and some fights consisted of everyone burning the boss with that weapon and if you fail, you wait for ammo synthesis to recharge and you try again. I didn't have that weapon so it was harder for me to find groups at times.
What I hear though is that some things are changing. I haven't read up on the changes though. My problem wasn't the guns, the FPS, or any of the game play. It was the way they distributed rewards. There was no desire for me to keep trying over and over because you weren't allowed. In Diablo I can keep going into Rifts hoping to see something I want drop for a set I want to have. There are so many chances for it to drop that I keep trying and trying. Destiny didn't offer me that. I could log in on tuesday when the reset occurred and do the weekly, nightfall, raid be disappointed in what I got from them and that was it. Then I would log out until the next tuesday. If I did happen to get some gear I would use, I had to do daily bounties over and over every day to get the XP to level it up. The bounties were basically the same every time except the world you need to go to was different. The bounties were things like kill a specific number of majors or ultras of a specific race, complete a certain mission on heroic difficulty, get 100 head shots on a certain enemy type etc. That got pretty lame to me. I was one of the people defending the game and all that too. After almost 400 hours or whatever it was, I decided it just wasn't worth my time getting pissed at the garbage rewards the game was giving me every time.
Ding ding ding!!! That's exactly why I quit playing Destiny too. The so-called RNG-driven loot system didn't do it for me, and I wasn't in to Crucible. IMHO, Bungie only truly rewards those that grind it out in the Crucible, and that's another nail in the coffin for them to me.

they fixed the loot BTW, at least that's what I was told, they drop like candy now according to the people I know still play
this happened to me last night
ran a strike (lvl 28 one) - legendary scout rifle - all 3 people in the strike got a legendary
ran 1 crucible match - legendary auto rifle - like 8 people go legendarys
ran the nightfall on 2 toons, 1 exotic chest, 2nd one exotic shotgun
Good news is that ghorn isn't being updated for 2.0 so not having it isn't an issue in 2 weeks
When I played daily last year I never saw that issue. I assume it became an issue after crotas end came out?
Hezen vengeance did nearly the same amount of damage
Yeah it was an issue for crota because of the strategies for the fight. You could get away with using a Hunger but some people still requested GHorn only. You had limited time to burn him down once you grab the sword so GHorn was very useful.
Also have you read up on the leveling changes? Like I'm only 32 so if I do decide to hop back in do I have to farm gear or what? Also I heard that all our old weapons are going to be junk? Have to get all new stuff?
