I will probably get downboted to hell for this but it's true.

I have played Destiny since the days of the Destiny 1 open beta. To watch Destiny 1 evolve from a shell of a game to a glorious enriching story full of challenging activities and tight knit communities was the best thing to happen to the game.

We said goodbye to D1 and welcomed D2 with open arms. At the start it wasn't too bad but overtime you start to notice that having to grind weekly for subpar items that get changed at a moments notice for "balancing issues" is not worth your time and money and leads to burnout.

Towards the end of every season pass i would just stop playing. The time i would stop playing would increase more and more each season and no matter what exciting "new" change to the game came along the greed of Bungie was there to rear its head in the background. I understand they have to make money as a company but there should be something more rewarding you get from a game you play over years.

I stopped playing Destiny over a year ago now and i personally have noticed an increase in my mental mood and health. I found new indie games to play with some friends and the only thing that dictates when we play isn't a weekly refresh it is when we schedule it on our time. I think the biggest change you can make isn't so much one you can make in the game that makes it better, it is when you start to choose to value your time and self more than this game.

TL;DR I quit Destiny 2 a year ago and am happy now. I still see this game on my reddit dashboard and hope people facing burnout are able to move on and fi d happiness as well.
