The game is now playable without a huge investment of time.
It is not at all clear this is the case until we see how the exotic drop system stacks up. D1 had a system where you could play over a thousand hours and still not have every exotic. They fixed it with 3oC, and then nerfed it because exotics dropped too much. Then un-nerfed some because the 3oC drop rate was too low (then nerfed again when people stopped complaining, and hoped nobody would notice).
Jury is out is all I am saying. The grind up to 300 light also looks very time consuming, but I only just finished the single player campaign. So far it resembles the grind from WotM era D1: exotic engrams, faction rep, raids. Slow going!
