Its not an MMO

/sigh...I've seen so many topics of a "[i]related nature[/i]" in the #Feedback forum that I feel I have to start one of my own just to answer all of the complaints I've seen in one place rather than typing the same thing on dozens of forum users rants. [b]Destiny is a Social-FPS, not an MMO.[/b] I see so many people complaining about features in Destiny and asking Bungie to change them and turn Destiny into a fully-featured MMO rather than the Social-FPS that it actually is. People need to wake up and realise that this is [b][u]NOT [/u][/b]an MMO. Wanting to be able to name your character because your gamertag breaks your immersion? From CoD to Counterstrike your character, regardless of which class or loadout is always going to have your user name, gamertag or account name above it...and if we all could name our characters, how many players are going to call their own something RP friendly to save your fragile sensibilities from harsh things like Gamertags and immersion breaking? And how can your own gamertag/name break your immersion? If you're in the world playing the game you can't see your own name ffs! Someone complained in the #feedback forums about: "...zomfg the "Gear Grind" at "End Game" is just another way to keep us playing for longer like zomfg...". And I say that [b]YOU[/b], and you know who you are, are a moron. Think of Destiny as an FPS. Think of the Open-World maps as "The Campaign" and Fireteams as "Online Co-op" and Crucible as "Online Multiplayer". It's a traditional FPS, the open-world nature of the campaign setting is a bonus! You're playing an FPS with Bonus Features! When you bought Halo 1-to-Reach did you complain that playing the last mission of the game over and over again was a grind? Of course not! You played the campaign and then spent 3 years in Hardcore Team Deathmatch pwning noobs! It's NOT an MMO. It's a Social-FPS. Enjoy the game and be glad that Bungie have spent the time, the effort and the money turning what could have been a normal, ordinary FPS into the masterpiece of First-Person Shooting that it is. And send them cookies. Apparently they like that.
