Im right there with you. I have been playing this game most of my adult life! :|
However, even though I enjoy D2, there was something about OG Destiny that D2 just does not replicate. Perhaps its the more serious atmosphere, or just that it was so completely new and different for its time? Im not 100% but I think it might have been the first online multiplayer game on console. Seeing other players doing their own thing in the open world was ground breaking at the time. PC had it with Warcraft and such, but besides a PvP shooter, I cant think of any PvE game that did this. Either way I will always love Destiny, but the simpler times of D1 will be some of my best days of gaming.
