Disturbing note from the dev notes

Ok one bit from the notes is actually a bit disturbing to me. I understand that they nerfed the loot cave but it's what said after the loot cave nerf is mentioned. This isn't how we intended Destiny to be played. Ok, once again I get that, but saying that and then altering the game so it is no longer effective is Bungie basically saying "don't play the way you want to play, but the way we want you to play." Bungie should understand that the game they created was going to draw in those who will farm like Old McDonald in order to get end game gear but, "that isn't what they intended." It appears to me that Bungie was upset that people were in essence brute forcing the RNG system and put their foot down so people would play how they want them to play. What happened to being able to play how the player wants to play? If a player wants to farm, let him or her farm.

  • It wasn't farming, it was exploiting and bungie thought so too.

      • You guys are missing the important part. Its the 40 second delay to all caves that really sux try getting those patrol bountys if someone pasted that way before you. And the hard wipe engram delay whats the point in playing high level missions now. We all died so now have an unknown timer till enemys might drop something.

      • Oh Bungie, why won't you continue let me play the way I want to. All I want to so is break the game.

      • I think Bungie doesn't mind farming at all, they just don't want you doing it by standing in front of a cave. Farming from attempting strikes, raids, story missions, patrol missions, world events, and competing in PvP seems to be the way they want us to farm. I'm good with this tbh

      • it wasn't the way we intended meaning it wasn't intended for shooting at a cave for 4 hours to be more effective than completing the activities the game has to offer. They don't want to say you can't shoot into a cave, but they have discovered that their leveling process is flawed from their original intentions. There is a difference between saying you can't do something and realizing that you are encouraging the wrong activities.

      • True. A lot of people get annoyed by farming but those people have never player an MMO before they just see this as another halo type game. If people wanna sit by a cave for hours on end getting gear I don't see the big deal. I prefer to play crucible myself. I wouldn't deliberately come out if a crucible match to complain or try stop people getting loot lol. It's only gonna benefit other people anyway. They won't be as good as the guy playing loads of crucible and they will very useful in higher strikes and raids. So it's win win for the guy who doesn't farm so I don't know why they complain so much.

      • You can still farm how was that nerfed? Now you just cant afk watch tv and tap the fire button once in a while to rank up and get items. They are SO many more places to farm and rank up.
