The rewards systems are absolutely designed to keep you playing, or to make you continue to feel rewarded for continuing to play.

I think though if the guy really wants to make an argument against games with random rewards and fulfillment loops then he should make a really long list of them instead of focusing on Destiny and using WoW for backstory.

A really long list doesn't make for riveting viewing. ;)
 
I'm also fairly convinced that TDB and HoW were taken out of the game and resold as dlc. As far as TTK goes, I'm waiting till it launches and I get impressions from the masses (gaf, reddit, youtube, game journalists). If it sounds like it's worth it, I'll buy in. If not, I'll wait for Destiny 2 impressions. There are a lot better games out there to play.

That IB bounty actually includes assists, so you don't even have to get a 10 kill streak to complete it. Also carries over matches.

I have no idea what Xur is selling, otherwise I'd tell you if it's worth buying or not.

Wow, thanks. I did not know that.

I'm 32, feel like I am burned out on bounty hunting (got a weird urge earlier to hunt Wolves, been doing it for hours). How difficult is 32 PoE compared to 28?
 
Just had the best Trials of Osiris experience ever.

I was playing with two friends who are both very good. Myself and one friend were 8-0 on our Trials cards, other guy was 7-0 (and I didn't have a mercy boon). We'd gone undefeated in a few of our prior matches and no team ever got up to 4 wins.

So we're up against this one last team my friend and I need to beat to get to Mercury.

The first 3 rounds, we win. The team was good, but we won all three.

The next 3 rounds, they won. At the end of the third round, one of the guys started tea-bagging me. So it's 3-3.

The next round, they won. 4-3 for them. We won the one after that. 4-4.

The last round was tense. Supers, revives, shotguns.

We won. It was close, but we won. I wanted to teabag one of their bodies, but I didn't. Just threw grenades against the wall instead.

We exit out, get ready to go to Mercury, then the Reef.

That's when I get a message from one of their players. I go to Messages, open it. It's a voice message. 5 seconds long. I never get voice messages, but I open it.

It's someone who sounds like an older teenager, and he's slow rapping. Here's what his rap said:

"Mike Works, I spit that. Your mom, I hit that."
So I'm laughing because I almost never get messaged after crucible, let alone a personalized voice rap.

I go back to the game, go to the Reef (got an arc Messenger on Mercury, then a normal Messenger on the Reef, so that was a little dumb). And I grab a slice of homemade pizza and enjoy it. Put away some dishes in the kitchen.

Then I come back and reply to his message with a voice message of my own. Mine was only 5 seconds too. This is what I said.

"That was a really good rap, man! In fact you could even say it was... flawless."
He sent me text messages after that about my mom and I blocked him. But I'm never going to delete that voice message. It's too much fun.
