Bungie. You assholes.
7 days to give your players something in return for MAKING YOU MONEY, DOING YOUR JOB FOR YOU.
7 damned days. When you KNOW people have been doing this shit for you since day 1.
7 F$&@ing days to give your newest players (because they are the only ones with friends who haven't played yet) new gear.
AND NOTHING FOR YOUR DAY 1, YEAR 1, OR EVEN NEW TTK players. Just the brand new ones.
You are money grubbing, heartless, unappreciative, greedy assholes.
EDIT: As of 24 November (8:15PM PST) 14 of the top 20 trending threads in feedback are refer a friend venom. 70%.
Nice work Bungie. Any questions? No?

All my friends are longtime Xbox players already. They already have Destiny and the Taken King. And what's more, I actually DID refer a friend; I even bought his Taken King expansion for him when TTK came out! (still owes me $40, bastard) How are the true fans of Destiny supposed to get this new loot when all of their friends already have the game? Its bogus to put something that everyone would like to have impossibly out of reach. Why not just sell the loot at Eververse? At least everyone would have an equal chance at getting this Refer a Friend loot (controversial micro-transactions aside). This doesn't seem realistic. Everyone who would have referred a friend, or gotten a friend to buy Destiny has already done it, or those friends already have the game and the Taken King! This is just dangling a carrot that's always just out of reach. It aggravates me when Bungie/Activision pulls stunts like these. This would have been far better when the Taken King came out. This would been a great idea when TTK came out. Now that its been out for some time now, statistically speaking, there are far less opportunities to even Refer a Friend through Bungie's process. Its unrealistic.
