Just a PSA to everyone who uses this forum:
You can provide helpful and constructive feedback without throwing a temper tantrum and acting like a 3-year-old child. For Christ's sake, this game hasn't even been out for two months and people are losing their shit when something goes wrong. Give it time. You act as if Destiny is the only option you have to keep yourself entertained. Go out there and learn something. You go from sitting in front of the TV and yelling, to sitting at the computer and yelling. There are bigger issues out there. Such as the health risks of [b]sitting around all day.[/b] Shit, if it's that big a deal, and you really are so lazy and uninspired that all you want to do is play video games, how about you take a break from Destiny and play something else? This seems like common sense. It blows my mind how many people think that the imperfections in Destiny are the most important issues facing society today. Have you ever considered how lucky you are to have a game console in the first place? To have the time in your life to play video games? To even have electrical hookups that make your console work? To live in a society where it's accepted to sit around doing nothing for a few hours every day? To live such a life that you have the time to relax and forget about everything else, rather than having to work 24/7 to make a living and still wonder if you're going to have enough for dinner tomorrow night? Jesus Christ, this community needs to grow up. The entire gaming community needs to [b]grow the -blam!- up.[/b]
[b]TL;DR[/b] If people were as passionate about real issues as they are about the trivial things I see here, the world would be a better place.

Spoken like a true liberal. Yes, we should all be thankful that we have televisions, because there are people in third world countries that are forced to get by without them. Let's all join hands and sing together about peace on earth and treating our fellow man with respect. Oh wait, this is not a forum for socialism and true liberal "my way or else" values. It is a forum for people to voice their concerns to a company that made promises, some perhaps a bit grandiose, but promises nonetheless. It is a forum for people who believed in those promises and paid their hard earned money to acquire a product that in some ways, is lacking when compared to those promises. If a car salesman (ok, in your world perhaps "salesperson") were to sell a customer a car that breaks down the minute he/she drives it off the lot even though it was supposed to be the "best car on the lot", then that customer would have every right to be upset and voice his/her displeasure. If that same salesmen (salesperson) were to tell the customer that its ok, we can fix that in a couple of months, would that be acceptable? Right now, there are a LOT of customers out there who are experiencing buyer's remorse and in some cases, rightly so. I too spent a lot of money to receive a product that even though I find enjoyment in, I am very disappointed about many aspects. Don't disparage those who wish to express their displeasure. It does a disservice to yourself.

I honestly thought for a moment there you were going to all political on us. However I do like how your post ended. Yes, speaking our minds for the good or the bad is important. However, doing so with a level head like you did here, mostly, is the better way to give feedback. It is the line between constructive criticism and destructive criticism. Constructive criticism is offering suggestions on what would make the community happy destructive criticism is only complaining about what's wrong and not preferring something that would fix the problem. I think he is mostly referring to the destructive criticism that has been pouring in as of late. I'm not saying I disagree with you, but there is a difference and people should take note of that.

providing useful and constructive feedback gets the same response as a temper tantrum. dead silence from bungie.
-
Then why throw the temper tantrum in front of all of these other people? I'm just curious how that makes more sense.
-
I didn't say it was a better option, just that all options have the same end result
-
A post to a little further down had a great point . That expecting deej to respond everything is ridiculous.

[quote]A post to a little further down had a great point . That expecting deej to respond everything is ridiculous.[/quote] Responding to everything would be ridiculous, but I'd like to see him respond to more than 3 posts per day. And even when he does reply, there's never any substance, just the same vague fluff bs.

I understand what you are saying and agree, but at the same time, we the consumers feel the need to express our feelings on the products we buy. Now of course there should be some amount of discretion involved in what we say if we want to stand out and get our opinions heard. But any real feedback that doesn't just say, "this sucks" is most likely appreciated and hopefully heard to some extent.
-
Wasn't that the point of Deej's post here?
-
Yeah, I guess it is kinda overlapping what was already said. I was just talking to the person who had commented on what was said.
-
And it's not necessarily silence that we get, he does give us weekly updates that talk about the changes being made he also gives us notes on the hotfixes
-
I wouldnt call responding to a fourum passionate..... i GUARANTEE you if people had to trudge through a african safari dodging rebels and various dieseases to lodge a complaint to bungie. There would be like 1 percent of complaints. Helping random starving people is hard. Pressing forumns destiny then typeing is not.
-
This could be implied to everything you realize? Like the Jews and Palestinians, if they just stopped arguing over the holy land and started new things would be great. So your high horse needs to get a drink of water.
-
I do agree with you. However this game is my escape from those issues and personal issues.
-
Well stated
-
That's the products of capitalism and media. People criticize things they buy
-
I agree with you at some point, but damn, this games REQUIRES to keep you in front of the TV for endless hours...it's an MMO-kind-of after all.
