: Destiny is nothing but a grindfest

The loot system and the need for grinding/farming for gear and/or materials to level up is a definite flaw. Instead of being an open-ended quasi-MMO, it should have been a more standard single-player FPS experience with strong-but-optional co-op elements and the "campaign" having a definite beginning, middle, and end.
