the issue with raiding for me is needing to find 5 other people, at the same time, who aren't toxic, who won't kick you, and needing to maintain the grind year-round to have the meta load out, some of which are items you can only get if you've already done the activity you're trying to do, and have an entire uninterrupted 6 hour session to do so.
There's only so much "you can't play this because..." before it turns into "I won't play this because..."
I guess I'm lucky. We had 2 raid groups. I have hundreds of hours of cherished time spent raiding with Tsunami Bomb Squad.
that's the other issue. I can't have a raid group - I don't have a set gaming time or day or even length of time to play, or even set location in my house, and Destiny is a very needy game in terms of you needing to clock in regularly or else you miss narrative-shaking story events you can never experience again.
All it takes is not being able to play for a couple of months and you're pretty much out for good.
