EDIT: Sorry but I am done with the topic. Together with similar topics I think we made a point and Bungie/Activision noticed. In the end it does not really matter if 404A is true or troll and we will probably never find out anyway.
Some are having a blast with Destiny and others (probably) see it's huge potential but currently are dissapointed by its repetitive gameplay and overall lack of content. As far as I am concerned both are right.
Since I am not the type of guy to delete a topic the original post remains in the spoiler below.
[spoiler]Since I get many positive reactions in such a short time in my reply to Deej in in[url=http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/70924634/0/0/1]
this post by Mohamed[/url] , it just might deserve a topic on its own.
[b]In short the topic concerns a number of claims, among others content purposely left out of the game, addressed by someone known as [i]404Architect[/i] who is/pretends to be a current/former Bungie/Activision employee (or at least very close to them). [/b]

You are being trolled, Internet. Don't let it happen.
Bungie employees are easy to spot in the wild[/quote]
[u]Sorry Deej nothing personal but educated C2B (Consumer to Business) for once[/u]
I've investigated the [url=http://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/2hqmkb/how_destinys_content_completely_changed_over_the/]entire story[/url] myself and being a (former) fraud auditor I am pretty well trained at both (data) analysis and 'reading through the lines.' Although you may choose not to believe my former occupancy and disregard my opinion:
- There is no proof of who he/she is, let alone a former or current employee of Bungie. [b]Also there is no proof just how easy Bungie employees are to spot in the wild[/b]. [i](if you ever been to Africa, I could tell you that even a 2+ ton Rhino can easily be overlooked between rocks or in the bush )[/i]
- There is no proof of what he/she is telling us is true.
There is however some [i]circumstantial evidence [/i] underlining his/her story including[url=http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/02/17/bungies-destiny-a-land-of-hope-and-dreams?page=1] a 2013 article by IGN (and videos attached)[/url] and [url=http://www.bungie.net]link[/url] which makes very clear intended content Bungie [i]promised[/i]- sufficient enough to show and 'brag' about to one of the worlds most read game sites- did not make it to the final game. Especially the fully rendered storyline cut scenes in the [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwOUi4JDC4o]reveal ViDoc[/url] make more sense than the story included in the game itself. The reddit story itself all started from this [url=http://postimg.org/image/80it9ix8x/full/]mysterious and now deleted post [/url] of a self-claimed bungies tester which is supported by [url=https://i.imgur.com/Xv02vmU.jpg]this photo taken from the ViDoc[/url] which together lean towards [i]collaborated evidence[/i]. Last but not least IGN picked up on the [url=http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/09/29/was-this-the-original-storyline-for-destiny]reddit story[/url] and their suspicion is clearly not in their best interest unless they believe to be onto something.
- What does concern me however is not what exactly he/she is saying but [b][i]HOW[/i][/b] it is been said and [b][i]WHEN[/i][/b]. To start with the latter; there is very little time between the questions being asked and his/her response. Secondly and more important he/she seems to be frustrated him/herself, yet he/she speaks of Bungie (and Activision) and its employees with dignity and respect, seems to know what he/she is talking about AND, most important, is very consistent in all of this. This even applies for negative answers, like I don't know / can't answer, which are most often followed by some sort of explanation AND then still are consistent with the rest his/her story. Counting against this is the lack of pressure like in a one/multiple to one interview but still all of this together (timing and consistency) is extremely difficult to do in a made up story.
Conclusive: Together with my (our) own observations that the final product -although being developed for years AND put in the market otherwise- is lacking in both story and content, my opinion is that the statements of [url=http://www.reddit.com/user/404Architect]404Architect[/url] [b][i][u]should be considered legit[/b][/i][/u]. Future content and DLC hold against claims made by Bungie itself in the [url=http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/02/17/bungies-destiny-a-land-of-hope-and-dreams?page=1] a 2013 IGN preview[/url] and claims [url=http://www.reddit.com/user/404Architect]404Architect[/url] made by will provide the required evidence to confirm or deny this statement.

Wat did bungie advertise that didn't come in the game? [/quote]
