I seriously don't get some of this (Destiny)

The "they don't value your time" argument has a leg to stand on for games with ongoing fees, but it loses a lot of credibility when talking about Destiny.

This is not true. It can apply to anything.

Bungie is making a game that is supposed to be entertaining. I am choosing to spend my time playing Destiny, as opposed to other games, or other activities.

A good developer will recognize this, and try to make their game as entertaining as possible; they will try to make the time spent with the game fun, and worthwhile, and worthy of my choice to give it my time.

When developers do not value my time, they stretch things out, pad the game, or create investment systems where time, not skill, is the primary way to advance. These things are NOT fun, and instead should be shunned and discarded. There is no reason why you have to farm resources to upgrade your armor to advance your level. It is not fun, and the only reason it is included is to make the game take longer.

But if Bungie had any sense, they would stop and realize that it's just wasting people's time. They don't care. If they did, they would try to make every part of the game fun, and engaging. They literally don't care if you waste your time on boring shit, because they leave that in the game, and worse, built the game around it.
