I am one of the biggest haters CCP has - and even I admit Dust is a better game then Destiny.
The problem with grind isn't the grind itself, as literally every game can be called a grind - that's why immersion is so important. It distracts us away from remembering the only thing we're doing is grinding.
In Dust we have the best community and communication tools any console has to offer for any game. For this SOLE reason alone - the grind in Dust is negated. Why? Because you can make a channel, invite literally all your friends, and just talk to them without there being an 8 person limit. You could even use Dust just as a voice tool, switch TV input to PS4 - and talk using PS3 to more then 8 people as you all play together on PS4, or different things.
There's a lot of freedom in channels that offers Dust flexibility, where in Destiny there's no such communication tools - and match making is LOL, as you'll never know if the people with you will be good or diehards.
So you don't have others deflecting the grind from being immediately that - a grind. So what does Destiny offer those who want to be more then casual?
NOTHING.
Where in Dust - if you want to be hardcore - the rewards for the effort really come together. Take my main for example - I'm pretty sure the majority of you would kill to have a toon with that much SP and well placed points. But in Destiny there's no such reward, you just got a slightly cooler model for your gun or helmet, you know, that same helmet and gun everyone else has and took them a whole day to get.
If Dust had PvE there wouldn't be much to talk about except RIP Destiny. |

for consoles, mind you. I made sure to point that out in my post. :)
PC community would walk all over us - but then again, they have tools to actually BE a community. All we have is what Dust offers and forums - which is still x10 more then anyone else is offering console communities. |

Lol I remember that. I was 'forced' to buy it if I wanted to play Corp Battles with certain corps. Good times, back when people cared enough to force people to buy AUR, lol. |

what 'two years worth of content' has dust got?
Suits, a few weapons? I've seen more content update in a 20 year old MMO in a single patch.
That's half the problem with CCP - they don't know what to do next. |
