👍Well said.

[quote]I used to be "hardcore"... But now I'm more "semi-casual" [b]BECAUSE OF D2[/b]. I've seen quite a lot of people echoing the same sentiment... People complain non-stop about Crucible and matchmaking in general... Do you know why it's happening? Reduced player base. That's because it's mostly those "hardcores" left. Now imagine for a second that all those "casuals" stopped playing and don't buy into the franchise ever again. Sales tank. The player base continues to decline. The serial whingers only whinge more... But neglect to recognize that they are partially responsible for "casuals" leaving the game because when the "casuals" ask for something they don't agree with, it's stupid and Bungie shouldn't cater to "casuals". Enhancement cores are a Prime example of this in action right now. There's an old saying... And I believe it's as true now as it ever was... Bungie and the "hardcores" are cutting their own nose off to spite their face. There has to be a balance, otherwise you're alienating a sizeable portion of revenue and community.[/quote] Yes yes and YES. D1 did something right that helped ALL of the player types, then it got lost. Idk how but I do have faith a company like Bungie can figure something out. Thank you for this reasonable, and well thought out response.
