At launch I played Destiny pretty casually. I sped through the campaign, did some standard grinding (up to around level 25), and even participated in a Strike or two with whoever happened to be online. And then… I stopped. I moved on to other games.
I’ve never been much for MMOs, and my history with shooters is well documented. Once I’d finished the story, I felt like I’d seen enough. I sent my Hunter off into the great beyond without a second thought.
In hindsight, I think I might have missed the point. I was playing the game in the same way I would have played Bioshock, or Deus Ex. Running straight from mission to mission, occasionally jumping into PvP matches, and all together avoiding the bells and whistles that would carry Destiny through year one and beyond. I didn’t realize at the time that Destiny is more about the long game, and ultimately about the love of the grind.
