What a terrible game it must be without PSN+ (Destiny)

I just realized. The best way to get marks, Vanguard or Crucible, is exclusive to PSN+ subscribers. If you don't subscribe, then your only way to get marks is to trade in resources. Buying Legendaries with marks is the easiest and best way to get gear. Trading in resources for marks gives you pittance. It must be excruciating earning any sort of legendary gear without paying the yearly fee.

Why on Earth Bungie would allow someone to even have such a bad experience I don't know. Either the game should have required PSN+ for everybody, or for nobody.

I'm pretty sure the people that don't have PSN+ would take a reduced experience over no experience at all.

Maybe they're just between subscription periods, or maybe they're trying to decide if Destiny is worth getting PSN+ for the full experience.

I was going to make a dumb post about having Xbox Live, but this. It doesn't make sense to arbitrarily require PSN+/Live for things that don't require matchmaking--people might intentionally let it lapse for a time. I've done that plenty, and losing access to the entire game would be pretty lame.
