Speaking of VoG, the news of Destiny's impending demise actually awoke Luke Smith from hibernation, where he made a succinct point with VoG concept art attached:
i didn't say dying, i said being mogged.
I cannot imagine how nigger-cattle brained you have to be to even say this, but I actually seen this said on Twitter. It's always the players' fault for not liking shit, never the fault of the company for making shit in the first place. The perfect consoomer.
At it's peak Destiny was unlike any other game ever made, and it won't ever be topped. Most of the time however, it was mediocre to bad. People stayed due to sunk cost fallacy, and chasing the magic that was experienced very briefly.

The raids and dungeons were always the absolute peak of Destiny. Last Wish will be one of the pinnacle experiences of any FPS game, the combination of puzzles, lore, and gameplay was just incredible. If you didn't do Last Wish legit at least once you failed. Doing Riven during Pantheon was so fucking fun I can't believe they removed it.
Retarded for Luke Smith to say since he was the one who pushed "watchable content" and the seasonal content model the most. He is also responsible for vaulting content with Beyond Light; the entire Content Vault was his idea. Everything stemmed from the fact that he got Scarab Lord in WoW decades ago so everything has to be 'you had to be there'.
Yah that's like encouraging people to spend money on silver to "bring back D2" which I've seen people posting. Unironically, if you wanted to stick it to Bungie/Sony go play D1. They make no money, and it's embarrassing to have a 12 year old game have a better player count than either of their newer slop titles. I'll never go back to D2 after the slap in the face that was Lightfall.
They shouldn't have ever let Luke out of the raid content dungeon. Keeping him chained there, where he was decent at his job, also kept him from shitting up other parts of the game. Luke is a great raid and encounter designer. Unfortunately his opinions on literally everything else suck, which is why his ass got shipped off to the "destiny multimedia team" when promotion time came.
By the time I did Last Wish people had already figured out how cheese Riven, but my friends and I did it legit for the experience since it was my first time running it. Doing all of that AND having 1k Voices drop for me to the chorus of all my friends screaming since only one other guy had it at the time was so amazing. It's just such a tragedy that the game went the way that it did. I'm almost glad that Luke Smith decided I was playing his game wrong and that they were too fucking stupid to figure out how to nerf Recluse and MTT since it was the push I needed to finally just quit the fucking game.
