Is it bad I'm enjoying the shitposting more then the game itself?
I mean I want D2 to get better but this is just getting hilarious. I've never seen it like this before.
That's coz people kept misusing it. It's true. I'm not gonna defend Bungie, but man, people really don't know how data should be interpreted. It was a single chart displaying a single set of data.
Daily active players is a useless statistic in a game where most players bought the game in the first 2 weeks and hit the soft cap right away. Now that players are mostly after the weekly milestones, there's no need to play every single day. You can do it all in just one. A more believable statistic would be to count the number of unique logins PER WEEK and compare with a game that's structured similarly to Destiny.
Edit:
Geez, kids, please read a 2nd time before commenting. I'm not defending D2. Just trying to be your friendly neighborhood scientist who wants to teach about the proper use of data.
Edit 2:
I also think that aside from the incentive to play just once or twice a week, daily logins are decreasing due to lack of interest. Should I have started my comment with that? Just trying to be that guy who wants to encourage healthy and civil discussions and teach y'all a science thing or two, that's all. ✌
Final edit:
I'm done with this thead. If anyone has more to say, please do take the time to read the entire thread first in case someone has already brought up a similar argument or in case I have already said something that might answer your query. If you did not find what you were looking for among the flood of insults, you may message me directly. As long as we're civil, I'm down for a meaningful chat. If anyone's wondering how other data can paint a different picture from daily logins, check out this link (at the end) where someone compared weekly peak populations. While the downward trend is still there (as it always will be), it's not as bad as people can make it out to be. So yeah, different data, different perspectives. Gotta use them responsibly. Good night.

Lol it's been so long since I've truly spent more than 2 minutes on here and of course I find this idiot. Dudes been bitching about Destiny since the first one was in development.
Mate, you're an absolute mongo. You used to make posts slating Destiny 1 for 2+ years, then you started with the 'Destiny 1 is much better than Destiny 2' post and now it's anything that is a hot topic. Make your f*cking mind up you desperate, sad f*cking loser! Did you actually like Destiny 1? Did you even buy Destiny 2? I'm literally sick of seeing your negative bullsh*t these days and I'm glad your spasticated trolling has somewhat backfired on you.
We get it, you hate Bungie. Stop trying so hard to hate on them so much if you can't let them go. You claimed to stop playing Destiny two years ago yet here you are STILL posting on these forums with your negative bullsh*t. Just f*ck off already and play something else you sad, desperate attention seeking wanker!
