Agree completely @SWAINEY84 A lot of my fondest memories are with the large assortment of FGers since the D1 days, and just having a good fucking time. It's those days that I miss. I know a lot of FGers, and Non-Fgers stopped playing far sooner due to the grindy nature of the game or just not having the time to continue supporting it.
Honestly, I stopped due to the seasonal model being utter dog shit, the drip-fed story each season, and forcing people to play certain game modes they may not want to play. Also, the seasonal play mode was literally the same thing with a different twist, but essentially the same. Calling old D1 weapons, armor, and locations "new" showed just how lazy they've become as a developer, and it's unfortunate. The last straw for me was the last season before nightfall using reskinned lost sectors and calling them "New." (Whatever the Rasputin season was called.)
I still say that Destiny, to me at least, has always been the best FPS gameplay-wise out there right now. Granted, I haven't played at all since the previously mentioned season, but It just controls so damn well. I'm forever grateful for the friends I've made thanks to this game, as well as this group of amazing people, and I owe it to Destiny.
