So I tried to play some Destiny last night

Bungie Suggestion

I'm still curious about the game and trying it out. I see my friend log in so I'm like, hey, I'll pop in and play with them. So I launch the game and but first I need to collect my daily/weekly bounties. So I'm in the tower and the postmaster has stuff for me. Oh look I'm holding onto 5 blue kinetic/energy weapons. So I have to decon that before I can even accept the postmaster's stuff. Oops, I accidentally deconned a weapon that was higher than the rest of my gear (and I'm past 900 so that matters). I forgot that not all blues are worthless. So I picked up my stuff from the post master but I still have another engram for the decoder. Oh look, more junk cluttering my inventory.

Then I go pick up my strike bounties and I'm off. I get the planet bounties there and spend a minute flying around to catch up to them. Oops, I forgot to pick up weapon bounties! I'll be right back. Wait, how do I drop group? Map won't let me travel and there's no option here. I look in roster and I don't see an option there either. After triple checking the screens I thought should have the option I'm really frustrated and hit return to character select.

So I spend another few minutes loading the tower, grab the weapon bounties, switch to steam overlay to rejoin my friend, then spend another few minutes loading IO and then another minute to travel to rejoin them. Finally, 20 minutes later, we can do a couple events together! Like holy crap, why does that have to be so hard?

I had a similar conversation while trying to teach my grandmother how to send a text on her new iPhone

It isn't at all. You can hit U to bring up the roster and join your friend. Also if you're not fire team leader and want to go somewhere else, you have to go to orbit, then fly to wherever you want

Easy solutions, skip bounties. Problem solved, enjoy shooting :)

Why not play another game if I'm going to ignore the progression aspect?

Why? Because you forgot to do stuff. You forgot to grab bounties, to delete those blues, and how to leave group.

My point is collecting bounties and sorting inventory is a chore and gets in the way of playing the game. The loading times are not negligible and anything that forces more loading screens on the player (like collecting bounties) adds to the frustration.

Dont play on console.

Or get an SSD to correct most of the console load issues.

I could totally understand the frustrations if you are playing on console. The load times are ridiculous there.
