Destiny: 9 Reasons Even Hardcore Players Are Giving Up

5. Getting An Exotic Is No Longer Exciting

How young we were; running around the Tower, dancing with random guardians, sitting down on top of THAT tree, kicking footballs around - all whilst having our first ever exotic in our back-holster. 

It's kind of similar to Christmas - when you're young, you're hyper as hell the whole day and bragging about what Santa brought you, but when you're older your excitement is contained, yet the appreciation is still there. That's how hardcore Destiny players feel when they land exotics nowadays. 

If the player isn't saying "Oh for f*ck's sake it's another No Land Beyond", they're mumbling "already had this seven times" under their breath, followed by a pop up in the bottom left stating that they've found Ascendant Energy. 

We only have one exotic weapon and one exotic armour piece to choose, so our play style is generally focused on what exotic we have, such as the Bad Juju and Obsidian Mind combination, refilling our supercharge meter instantly. More exciting exotics, offering different ways to mix up our game are a necessity.
