Man, having to farm mats like Spinmetal or Relic Iron - which I find super hard to spot amidst the samey looking environment - just to upgrade legendary gear is such a chore and stupid design. Yeah sure, you'll collect these right from the start of the game but instead of telling you right away what exactly this are really useful for, the game opts to wait for hours after hours of leveling, until you get your very first legendary - all the while offering you a completely different and relatively worthless usage of these precious mats.
I think I actually do like the game, or at least I want to because parts of it are excellent (e.g. gunplay, atmosphere, mixing fast paced CoD-style multiplayer madness with loot) but it's stuff like this that make me question whether I really want to keep on investing time in it.
And then, suddenly, while you're doing Patrol mission for lousy Rep gains, the sky darkens. A Puplic Event is just spawning and all the other players on the current map you saw lone wolfing around just moments before, wondering what they're up to, are now all going absolutely crazy, trying to rush as fast as possible to the Event where you then all have a nice little moment together, spamming bullets at a critical hit point, hoping to see yellow numbers pop and a health bar deplete - until that motherfucker of a boss is down and all those players stray off again, back to lone wolfing, doing whatever it is they were doing. But not before you spot that loot chest right next to that bosses' dead body with a rare spaceship engram inside of it - as it just happened to me.
In moments like this, Destiny is fucking awesome.
