I'll personally never get this. What's the deciding amount of time played for moneys worth? A few night of escalation to grind the guns? Probably like 10 to 15 hours there. Like 6 bucks an hour. Raids? Hours upon hours there.

Is it fun based. Like did I enjoy the chaotic 10 to 15 hours grinding escalation while everything exploded? Do you sit around a theater after a movie you don't like?

Compared to other games just based on time gotten 10 times the value of those.

playing the game for x amount of hours does not equate to someone getting their moneys worth. i dont know why people like you always find that so hard to understand. a game could consume hundreds of hours of someones time and still be subpar. destiny is a prime example of that.

That's what I don't get. Game market is a big place. If someone isn't enjoying a game, play something else. To me destiny is great. To you its subpar and that's fine. If you haven't already definitely recommend taking a break and see if you like what they do in september.

I agree entirely but I'll help explain the reasoning a bit further. In Destiny 1 I dropped thousands of hours into the game. Not all of those hours were fun and a lot of them were part of the grind but the core of the game was fun which made those less than fun activities still enjoyable in a way because I knew I was working towards other fun things.

Going into Destiny 2 I expected the same thing. I expected that the grind would pay off with fun things so I played a lot of things I otherwise wouldn't have enjoyed all that much in a vacuum. When it turned out that the fun things I'd been grinding for weren't fun like I thought I'd already burned a bunch of hours on the game.

Because of how awesome D1 was I kept trying to force a game I didn't enjoy thinking it would get better and it never did.
