Are the Bungie/Destiny2 staff even allowed to be on or even look at posts from Bungie.net?
I speak of people like the PvP Design Lead, Lars Bakken, and the other PvP devs, Leif Johanson, Jeremiah Pieschl, Andrew Weldon and Kevin Joel Yanes.
What about the Sandbox Developers, Josh Hamrick, Bill Gross, Danny Bulla, Claude Jerome, Grant Mackay, Gregory Peng and good ole Jon Weisnewski?
Say for instance(hypothetically), if one or two of them actually saw a post from...well, pretty much anywhere on B.net at this time, but let’s say #Feedback being a prime example, if they saw one of those posts that offered a widely shared criticism amongst players regarding certain topics regarding the game they worked on, would it come as an actual shock to them?
I ask this in regards to how distanced certain design choices are to what a good portion of Destiny 2 players find enjoyable and/or wanted.
Is it too far fetched to come to an equally hypothetical conclusion that maybe, just maybe, what players are saying and what messages and feedback that are being passed to the devs are not quite the same and that miscommunication between the two might stem from something being lost in the middle?

I want to reply to this before it gets moved to #feedback I would say that they probably do see these posts - I reckon there will be clauses in their contracts that prevent them from replying on the forums. I honestly don't think it would come as a shock (At least I hope it would do as that shows there is some hope left) They probably just cant say anything. I imagine that the atmosphere at Bungie at an individual dev level is just as toxic as it is amongst the players. In terms of the common criticism / feedback / requested features that would be seen they would see them knowing that they could not do anything about them as the higher ups just came downstairs and dictated that they start working on a non requested stats emblem set. I would really love to be a fly on the wall at Bungie to see how they are actually reacting to this dumpster fire of a game they spent the last three years working on......
