6 Reasons Why You Should Retire From Destiny
6 Reasons Why You Should Retire From Destiny
I know why I quit, here’s why you should too!

Grinding isn’t fun!
Let’s face it people, the grinding in Destiny has exhausted itself. Whether you’re running to the Bounty Master everyday or keeping up with your Raids and Weeklies, you have to notice that things are feeling like a chore these days. You feel obligated to do them or you’ll “fall behind” or miss out. You won’t. If you take a break from the game, you’ll actually feel a weight lifted off of you. You’re free!

There’s not much to do!
Besides grinding for experience and the hope for treasure, there’s not much else to do. Yes, there is the Crucible – the Halo-esque multiplayer experience which does have it’s moments, but even that can become tiring. I spent most of my time wandering in Explore mode which at first was breathtaking, now is boring and not challenging.
The Cryptarch be trolling.
The Cryptarch is whack!
Now lets say you do find some shiny new loot in the form of colorful balls of light (engrams), most likely you’re rewarded with low quality gear. This is courtesy of the game’s worst Secret Santa, the Cryptarch. His job is to dangle the carrot above your head and then when you finally get it; its fake. He is so good at being bad that the developers joke about his antics. Though not as cruel as his launch day counterpart, he’s got a long way to go.
Guardian Gang
Your friends want you back!
With the game limiting your party to three-man Fireteams or six-man Raid Groups, this leaves a lot of your friends behind. One of my most regretful moments in the game was having to drop one of my good friends from the group to allow a stronger random player to join. This is not Super Mario Bros, in the year 2015 you’d think we’d try to push the limits. I hope one day, maybe in the next Destiny, we can have a larger gang to run with.
A whole new world
There are other games to try out!
There are a lot of new games out and arriving this month (Dying Light, Evolve, The Order: 1886, Resident Evil: HD) that you should try. While each might not be for everyone, everyone should try these titles to see if they can be pried away from Destiny’s grip. Just trying something new and fresh should do the trick! Also: Both Playstation and Xbox have huge sales going on right now! Check out Microsoft’s Ultimate Game Sale and Sony’s Critics Choice Sale.
yikes…
You could probably use a jog!
If nothing else, you might have put on a little more weight and could probably use a little workout. I know when I was hooked on the game I didn’t go too far from the controller. This resulted in lazy weekends and my fitness took a little toll. Although I’ve been clean for a month or so now, my body hasn’t realized this. Don’t do Destiny, not even once.
