This maintenance period was something that was told to us beta players from the beginning of this process. We were told something near a week in advance that there was a scheduled period of time the beta wouldn't be available because of network fixing and server-side things being done on Bungie's end. When did it become a secret update period that nobody knew about?
People all over this forum have, for the last several days, been talking about what they want or even expect to be seen after that maintenance was up. Now that it's over and, guess what, nothing was added to the beta, there are people with torches and pitchforks looking to lynch someone for something they were never told would happen.
Why do we as gamers make this so hard to enjoy? I'm seriously curious as to where this sense of entitlement has come from.

Edited by MaxSterling: 7/24/2014 3:10:32 PMThe irony is... when Xbox players griped that they didn't get equal time, we got accused of entitlement issues... and then PS players go and turn around and gripe when nothing was changed after the maintenance... Go figure.

It stems from a generation that cares little for the sake of other people and more on personal achievements to make them believe that they are a perfect being. Perfection does not exist, but everyone can try what they can to make it a reality.

Edited by ChaosTheoryCraft: 7/24/2014 8:00:50 PMThis is the entitlement generation. Narcissistic, self-centered, self-gratifying and childish. I have been playing games since the 70s when space invaders and the Atari 2600 came out. Up until the last decade, the gaming community (and the internet as a whole) was for the most part, helpful and civil. Sure there were "trolls" in the 90s and 00's, but it was not a systemic cancer like it is now. It seems that today, people can't even recognize that they are being heard unless it's with an over the top trash-talking and hateful ideology. As a father, I really fear for my kid. Though I loathe to pontificate, it sometimes seems that most under the age of 30 are simply not able to deal with conflicting ideas or opinions (i.e. "Life") without a tourette-induced tantrum of anger ("STOP LIKING WHAT I DON'T LIKE!"). And GOD FORBID that something should not go they way they "think" it should...

[quote]Why do we as gamers make this so hard to enjoy?[/quote] Answer - As gamers if we see a line we stand in it. We don't know what the line is for. We don't exactly know why we are in the line in the first place. But one thing we do know is... As a gamer logic is not a option. We are not classified as independent thinkers.. The best thing for the gaming community is to never give constructive criticism. Never voice your opinion. And just enjoy the mind numbing game play produced by hpyno toad.

Simply put most gamers just aren't aware of the infrastructure behind games, it's all about visible content. While they fail to see the necessity of allocating time to the back end technology they'll be the first to complain when the game stability suffers.

We find that we didn't hype up enough, and that we are satisfied with the Beta than with any other game.
