How about "Thank a Vet" instead...
Refer a Friend is a slap in the face for Year 1 vets, hell even for TTK guardians! If you have played this for months or over a year, the chances of this being a doable quest are very low.
Hey Bungie... How about THANK A VET?
You could support at REAL cause like U.S. veterans.
You could show APPRECIATION for your customers who already bought your game. Twice.
You could do something fun and positive for your fanbase instead of EXPLOITING THEM.
Crazy concept.
EDIT: changed US to U.S. To alleviate confusion.
EDIT: This is not a post trying to stir the pot and create controversy about military or political views. It is just a suggestion for Bungie to use their power/popularity for a noble cause instead of straight money grabs.
People who want to hijack the thread just to spew anti military or anti American BS are missing the point. While it is entertaining to watch them dig their own little (a few huge) holes please leave that stuff at the door.
Thanks for the positive posts.
EDIT: Forget it. A lot of you have just used this as a place to spread your agenda of hate, disrespect and low intelligence. The idea is to use Destiny's popularity for a good cause instead of greed. Most of you can't see past the tiny details:
"Destiny is played in other countries"
"I don't like war, soldiers etc"
Fine come up with something else or just leave then. This was in no way a fully realized plan, it was an idea. People are so up in arms to shoot everything down and keep paying Bungie that they behave like jerks.
Forget I said anything. Enjoy referring a friend and filling Bungie's pockets as their unpaid marketers.
Bye.

4 RepliesEh, I usually try not to broadcast my status. I normally don't even take advantage of military discounts or Veteran's Day deals, mostly because I don't like that kind of attention. I also signed up to serve my country, and while I don't mind the occasional "Thank you", I'm certainly not entitled to anything for it. (I'm not saying that Y1/Day 1 Destiny players shouldn't get cool stuff, but make it about the game.) All-in-all, though, thank you for the considerate post. :)

99% of the player base is vets, everyone thinks its some accomplishment, barely anyome joined in ttk so something celebrating the vets would basically be the entire playerbase, its stupid, being just like the other 20 million people is nothing, especially for a game not even 2 years old

2 RepliesYou got the moments of triumph emblem shader and sparrow and emblem. Stop being greedy. [spoiler]/s[/spoiler]

5 RepliesWell....Destiny is a game for a global market, not just the U.S. And this might be hard to understand for some but most of the world doesnt do the whole flag waving, thank our troops pc patriot nonsense. Instead of waving flags our tax goes to making sure they're not homeless, get proper medical care & jobs. And we do all that without pounding our patriotic chest so everybody else can see that we thank our troops.

The US weren't the only ones fighting in the dust. I've been shot at a few times by some Aussies. Not sure if it was intentional or... The Brits were there. The Germans were there. "War Veteran" isn't a term reserved solely for those that bleed red, white, and blue.

3 RepliesI would say people who have over 100 days played should get an emblem

It's funny you say not to bring up anti-military stuff while using pro-military language as your premise for this entire thread. "Hey, I support our troops, I think destiny should too, but that isn't my point." You're entire argument utilizes pro-military dogma to prove your point. I'd go as far as saying you don't even care about this, you just knew it'd get some bumps. If you did care, maybe you wouldn't equate someone who played video games for a year with actual veterans. I'm sure bungie doesn't want to do that. But thanks for your two cents.

how about Thank deez nuts! send a nice gesture to my genitals and you'll be rewarded a nice emblem. possible shader.
-
Remove the American shit and it's a good post
-
"You could support at real cause" i see why you joined the military....
-
no gaming company cares about its players only how much money it can make and unless thank a vet can make money for them again they don't care , good idea though
-
You never know with Black Friday / Christmas rolling in
-
If you joined the military to be thanked and thought of as a hero all the time, you joined for the wrong reasons.

This quest will become available once you have had over 20 hours of play time with any other guardian. You will both get a [b](insert not reskinned mission here)[/b] to complete for new emotes and Tron sparrows. [quote]words bungie would never say.[/quote]

4 RepliesYou already got a crappy shader, stupid tiger emblem and a sparrow that is just black You should be grateful [spoiler]just in case you didn't pick up on it: Sarcasm[/spoiler]

They did that, at the start of TTK. And before you say the rewards were shit, these rewards aren't really any better.

1 ReplyYou should change it to [i]War Vets[/i] instead.

Stupid people use money everywhere. Bungie isn't selling to smart people. Bungie gets tons O money....I don't know...Bah!

Edited by Barach Jalaalma: 11/24/2015 3:49:02 PM"U.S vets only" Could use a better example.

AGREED! Do things to thank those who fought in service.

This actually makes sense

BUMP!!!

For what?

Edited by ItsJackAttack: 11/24/2015 2:17:05 PMI definitely agree. By February most of not all of my friends had Destiny, so there's literally no way to get the freakin' rewards. What are we supposed to do, use #Recruitment to find noobs that got the game because their real life friends told them to, and then quit playing the game a day later due to Xûr's inventory, leaving the poor guy all by himself to try and make new friends online, while everyone else is playing with their real friends, getting the rewards, and teabagging Year 1 players on the forums and in game?! And about the American Veterans, that's a great idea. We need to see more events hosted by Bungie to keep the community in high spirits.
