Bungie asks Destiny players if they're still enjoying themselves
Did anyone really have any fun with Destiny?
It was nearly a week ago when Bungie president Harold Ryan stepped down from his position, and today, the company is sending a very frank email asking registered players if they’re still having fun playing Destiny.
The email asks its recipient, “How would you rate your most recent experience in Destiny?” Participants can then submit their rating within a range of 1-5, with 1 being Not Fun while 5 being Very Fun.
Even though there’s an obvious wall restricting any new content from being released in Destiny, Bungie is still trying to make the experience fun for its players through a number of in-game events. The most recent one will be held next week just in time for Valentine’s Day.
If you’re one of the lucky recipients of this survey, we ask that you answer honestly, although we can’t imagine anyone saying the game is “Very Fun” at this point.

I like some of the mini events - I even loved the SRL stuff, but I just don't get why the new content has to be limited :(
I loved SRL, it actually made me play the game a lot more than I usually would - but as soon as it ended I went back to not playing. Having devs work hard on new content then only displaying it for a short period seems dumb
I loved the game since release and really loved it when Taken King came out - but it's hard not to get tired of the content when you've been running it for so long-

But does removing it help the situation?
I think if people are bored, they could go and do some Iron Banner, or raiding etc. But the people who actually want to play it could.
There are a lot of other games out there - Destiny kept me hooked for a good while and I definitely got way more than my moneys worth from it, but I'm kinda done I think until there is some new content to play (or if my gf wants to play it)-
No removing it does not help the situation but I understand why they are doing it the way they are.
One problem with them not removing it is then they would have to leave all the stuff you can buy from the eververse in it and due to memory restrictions they probably can't have ALL the stuff in the screen at once for SRL, the 1st set of emotes, the new emotes and so on.
I've got over 1,500+ hours into the game so I've for sure got my monies worth and then some, but I would still like to have a reason to play it with friends but we've all pretty much moved on to other stuff since we've played though everything and then some.

There are many problems they face in regards to development
- supporting old consoles and having to cram things into very small amounts of memory. They had to find a way to free up 1mb of memory to double the vault space that we got w/ TTK.
- it's been report that to edit a map a developer has to open the map and let it go over night since it can take 8-10 hours make a 30 seconds change to something and then recompile it which takes another 4+ hours or so
- they missed various bonuses from activision based on not meeting certain milestones that were in the contract they signed such as I think metacritic scores and other things like that
- They fired / had key people leave late in development and had to redo the story into the chopped up mess it was at release about a year before they shipped

It's like a date: if you have to ask, the answer is no.http://www.shacknews.com/chatty?id=34540177

I haven't touched it for several months now. From a PvE perspective they need to adopt more from Diablo, specifically the itemization, customization, and character build. On the social side they need to do more within the game from guilds to grouping. It seems like they already have a solid structure in place, but outside of the game on the Bungie website.
As for the PvP side, I'm not big on PvP like I was back in the late 90's, but it seemed fairly solid.
