I like grind since FF on NES.... so I'm not being exposed to grind in Destiny... I'm the guy that try to max levels already in the first places (even if I need to kill 1000x the same enemie to level up) and steal every single enemie in the games I play... I like to have all item/weapons/gears in my inventory in good quantity (I hardly sell anything... if I need I kill more enemies for money)... I love stats and like to max out all of them (like FFVII where I reach 255 for all attributes for the three main chars).
So I like grinding and farming.
But so far I did not grind at all in Destiny... sure the levels/missions can be the same but each time you have a different experience since the fact you play in another style or you team make you play in a different way... that is really fun... even playing the same Strike I already saw a lot of variaties that makes me want to play even more it with different persons.
I love how I start a Nightfall Strike and people on GAF or my friend list jump with me to try to beat it in the best way possible... it is awesome.
The reward system no botter me too because I think random is the best way for reward/drops... it is how you differenciate the guys with gears and weapons... not everybody can have the same... you are random rewarded so each played have differents gears/weapons... and I like even the random in the Crucile because everybody have chance to get better gears but I think they can increase the chances for top players but not removing it from bad players.
What amazes me is how the gameplay in Destiny is solid and bug free... it is something that you enjoy just killing enemies or players in the battlefield... the MMO elements are a plus and make the things more interesting but the gameplay is top notch is what make Destiny better than others games... for example I loved Warframe but the gameplay is subpar... it is really average.
The customizations and level up are really great... there is enough varieties for all types of players... the sub-class are balanced and well unique.
I love this game... I have fun with it that I never had in others games.
There are issues in the social aspects like lack of ingame chat, ingame clan support, etc but how you drop in/off a battle with a friend or random is amazing... brazilian or outsiders guys that I never talked come to talk and play together... I start playing alone and in less than 1 minute I already have guys playing with me.
The overall experience is brilhant.
I guessed the Raid will be hard to play without matchmacking or my lack of English skills... the mode will become a nich mode but I was wrong... everybody make fireteam for Raids and sent requests to me... I receive over 10 requests for Raid everyday and everytime I check my players list there are three, four, five or more guys playing Raid.
It is a game that make people play together in an amazing way.
And you know what is better? It is a constant evolutive world... Destiny will grow each week, month, year... it will fix flaws, add more amazing features, it will become better and better.
They created a game to holds the whole generation because the game is alive.
BTW most people I see here trying to downplay the game didn't play it at all... I don't understand if you don't like or play it why cares at all
