[b]Solo play[/b] ''Venture out alone or join up with friends. The choice is yours.'' This is a statement made in an official Destiny video created by Bungie. Right now, Bungie is trying to make it impossible for solo players to play what Bungie calls "endgame content", specifically weekly heroic and nightfall strikes. The reaction of Deej, official Destiny community manager, in these forums is as follows: [quote][i]We don't do this to be mean. I'm sorry you feel that way... Sincerely. I see a lot of these threads, and I'm never quite certain of what to say. Bungie didn't create Destiny to punish solo gamers. We set out to create an experience that would bring gamers together. Many of the challenges you'll find in the Director are invitations to parties. Like many activities you encounter in your real life, there are engagements in Destiny that are designed for teams. I'm a highly social gamer. It's why I play games. I'd love to tell you that finding the right group of people and working with them to take down the fiercest enemies in the game is a total rush. We slope the floor to those experiences because we think they're amazing. What can I do to help you enjoy more of Destiny? You seem like a reasonable guy. I'd bring you on a Raid myself, but I can't see your linked profile to determine if you're ready. I think the best I can tell you is that I am aware of your pain as a person who does not want to play with other people. I will keep making suggestions on your behalf.[/i][/quote] Basically Deej tells us here that Bungie will not change their policy of trying to force players into playing in teams and making endgame challenges impossible to complete for solo players. Bungie is forcing their will regarding playing Destiny on all players here. In my opinion, that is an incredible border violation of the personal sovereignty of the Destiny players (particularly the adult ones). Add to this that every player has paid the full price for Destiny. Now, Bungie is actively trying to deny solo players access to parts of the game content they have paid for and until recently could make use of. Unlike with raids, this exclusion is not forced by basic game mechanics that would require a team of people to work together; It is an artificial limitation put into the game as an afterthought. In my opinion, this at least borders fraud.
