It's for the greater good, Zoob. The point isn't to exterminate old Bungie fans, it's to delete alts that spam porn or gore or whatever stuff this website doesn't allow. Anybody who can't see that is ignorant.

People who own destiny can make unlimited alts

Sounds like a Metal Gear quote
-
Never played metal gear, but I've heard they're pretty good.

You should try Metal Gear Solid V, granted you should probably look up a "story so far" type of video before you begin...
-
I have no money or id already have it.
-
I see
-
Do you see my argument though?
-
Frankly, it's a bit too dramatic to be applied to this situation. Like Deej said, 99% of active users already had time spent in Destiny. Like two relevant people got canned. Not a big deal.
-
But, was it really worth canning those two?
-
Depends on how you look at it. Frankly, it doesn't affect me, so I don't care.
-
I think Bungie just gave spammers a reason to be worse than before.
-
Then you realize that people can still make alts as easily as before as long as they own Destiny.
-
Most of the spammers don't own destiny. And it adds an extra step to the process of making an alt, which deters the spammers from making so many alts.

[quote]Most of the spammers don't own destiny. [/quote] Do you have any proof of that? The majority of spammers I have seen have played Destiny at least briefly. [quote]And it adds an extra step to the process of making an alt, which deters the spammers from making so many alts.[/quote] And that "extra step" only takes about a minute to get through. If someone wants to spam, they are going to do it. This change will not stop anything. It only seems to show Bungie's arrogance in thinking that less than 1% of their forum user base is somehow worse than the 99% that play Destiny and post like 12 year olds on crack, lsd, and a mixture of Monster energy drinks, coffee, and 5-hour energy.

The "greater good" can kiss my ass. What greater good? The hordes of sniveling, crying people who can't [i]stand[/i] when someone points out the faults in their game? The ones who can't understand crude humor? The ones whose "feelings" matter more than other people? Yeah, no. This place is just a congregation for fools now, apart from the few individuals who make this place tolerable.
-
The greater good is the sensible people who don't wanna see porn or gore in offtopic.
-
K, so why not IP ban those who post that, instead of initiating a forum wide restriction of those not affiliated with Destiny?
-
Because Destiny is Bungie's main focus. If you're not a fan of Destiny, you're not a fan of Bungie anymore.
-
Oh, ok. So if, say, I'm not a fan of Windows 10, I'm automatically not a fan of Microsoft? Your logic is so, so -blam!-ed. I hope you know that.
-
Edited by Lethenza: 10/1/2015 4:24:55 PMIt's not. You just refuse to accept the truth. And an OS change is different. Your Microsoft comparison made no sense. It'd be more like if Microsoft sold Windows and started a new OS you didn't like. You wouldn't be a fan of Microsoft anymore.
-
Edited by GribbyMcGrub: 10/1/2015 4:48:18 PMThe truth? Your thinly wrapped veil of acquiescence with Bungie is the truth? Way to invalidate your argument. As for your other point, if Microsoft went and created another OS, and it was mediocre, would I still be a fan of them? Yes. Now if they purposefully advertise their new product, cut and replace most of their content, and continued to lie to their fanbase; would I still be a fan? No.
-
Your comment started off making no sense and ended up on a completely different topic. I'm sorry, but your nonsense is wasting my time.
-
It doesn't make sense to those who lacked the ability to critically think in the first place. Keep being a sheep.
