Why is the Destiny community so toxic? A question from a new player.

I would like to preface this with the fact that I've been gaming for a long time and I've been heavily involved with various communities over the years. I have been a fan of Bungie for as long as I can remember. I ran a community called Arm The Flag during the Halo days and we got our Machinima work on the front page all the time. I was even interviewed by the community director, Urk at the time. I've seen issues left and right within games, their creators, and the communities around them and I know there is a mature/respectful way to handle them. I am late to the Destiny game as I just recently finally purchased an Xbox One and I was eager to jump into the Destiny community because I remember all of the fun I had back in the Halo days....well that feeling was soon squashed for me. Upon checking out the Bungie Forums and jumping on r/DestinyTheGame on Reddit for the first time a few days ago I was met with all of of this hatred and resentment towards Bungie for just about every little aspect of the game. Where was this beloved community that I remembered from back in the day? It was nowhere to be seen. Now I've seen the posts and arguments...I realize that veteran players feel shafted for the Y1 stuff taken away then brought back...that's some BS. I see the arguments against the RAF program...which I think is an excellent program and the people complaining about it come off as nitpicking self entitled children, but that's just my opinion. Regardless of your opinion instead of dumping toxic waste posts everywhere in the community about how Destiny is shit and you hate Bungie, and you think it should be this way....maybe you should look at a more constructive way. Where is the mature community that enjoys the game? Where is the mature community that instead of whining like little girls they start a meaningful discussion and possibly come up with something to present Bungie that voices the thoughts of the community as a whole? Turning this sub and the Bungie forums into a cesspool of negativity, complaints, and a whine fest will not help your cause. I love you guys...and I've loved my time playing Destiny so far, but I hate reading through all these crap threads day after day.

    "Constructive" ........ Alright i'l try to say this as calmly as possible since some people don't understand the dynamic of relationships/interactions between companies and their customers, especially one that INSISTS on -blam!-ing up left and right. First of all, the anti-consumer practices + shady behavior they displayed over the past year isn't even a matter of opinion/discussion. You either acknowledge them, ignore them or are oblivious. It also isn't something you can respond too with "constructive" criticism nor should you. Second, they started with a bizarre system to say the least, kept replacing it with more bizarre ones that canceled previous progression and expected their player-base to "pay" along ...... I don't know about you, but i'm definitely in this to contribute/fund Bungie's learning project of how to make a scam .... I mean a game. And finally, just remember that Bungie is nothing, but a company (being a fan and blindly treating them as FRIENDS are two different things). One great franchise from the past of a different genre means absolutely nothing/does NOT justify any of their recent shady practices/amateurish game design (no free passes). Not gonna go into details/reasons/how they treated their employees and how all that played a part in this cluster-blam!-. As you said, you are new and you're witnessing the results of how a company maintained a special caliber of stupid for an entire year. For that i applaud them ..... Its a gift. Btw you don't "have" to read anything that upsets you, you simply wanna get back to pretend like nothing is happening in a bubble of positivity. A cluster-blam!- is a cluster-blam!-, there's no way to make it "positive" again nor should you. "Cause" he said ...... At this point, people either don't care or wanna watch it burn, how's that for a cause ???
