The game is becoming more difficult year after year and I think Bungie is losing players because of it. We don't hear from them, because they are gone, they just leave.
I think things have steered to much towards movement, making it so that players must zip around everywhere to survive. Which is a little harder to do on controller(console) than mouse and keyboard.

I just deleted my other thoughts on this because I don't feel like listening to elitist comments. I was merely expressing my opinion that this game is leaning towards being too sweaty for casual gaming. I think a lot of us don't really care about raids, dungeons, and exotic missions. They are not worth the time and effort.

I consider myself a casual veteran of the game. I'm not afraid to delve into the hardest content if there's a shiny enough prize for me to chase, but I tend to not do the high difficulty stuff most of the time. It's not because I don't feel confident in myself and hate losing or anything. I'm just simply a gamer that has learned that fun is more important to me than difficulty, and Destiny's difficulty is often just simply frustrating rather than challenging. Why would I ever want to willingly subject myself to unnecessary frustration when I could choose to do something enjoyable instead? For a gun that will be 2% more effective than the one I'm using now? For a piece of gear that has 2 more base stats? For more resources that I've probably hit the cap on?
