This is what happens when people over-hype themselves.
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.

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...
