    ~*Seeing as this is the most highly viewed comment I suggest a mod sweep / check of these centipede posts; they block the flow of conversation. Thank you*` Hey, Hey, pro-tip guys: [b][i][u]Bungie Isn't Obligated to Give You A THING![/b][/i][/u] [b]YOU[/b] paid ($$$) for a [url=http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--CCCVRRK9--/c_fit,fl_progressive,q_80,w_636/eidq0kvui3wpbqmy4gsp.jpg]LIMITED Game License[/url] to play the game! Bungie has [b]EVERY and ANY[/b] right to revoke your access! With that being said; It hasn't been 15 minutes and the demands are ABSURD! Now, let's establish some ground rules: - Xur isn't selling Gjallarhorn anymore. Bungie intended Gjallarhorn to be a 'trump card' against bosses; raid bosses in particular. Wolfpack rounds confirm this by raw damage output alone. Xur re-selling Gjallarhorn at this point, where Strange Coins are very easy to obtain, would dismiss the point of the weapon's creation in the first place. - Bungie is busy working on and rolling out fixes, the same fixes a majority of you are [u]crying[/u] for! - [b]If you actually read the update, you would realize the extent of the previous statement.[/b] - You should [b][i]THANK[/b][/i] Bungie for delivering a Triple-A, original IP that may have surpassed Halo! - It isn't easy developing, and continuing to develop, content, and most importantly, fixes, for an online shooter. One that is very heavily RPG oriented. - Stop complaining about grinds / RNG. This isn't a full fledged MMO, but it does have MMO aspects. - Since I'm gonna get raged for the MMO bit, let's break the term down, letter by letter. - MMO - Massively Multiplayer Online - Destiny is massive, in content atleast. CHECK - It is multiplayer. CHECK - It is online. Online ONLY, infact. CHECK - RPG - Roleplaying Game - Welp, I'd say Destiny fits the [b]technical[/b] term. MMOFPS would be more fitting honestly. - MMO's don't have to be subscription based. You already paid $60+ for the game / expansions. - Get over the denial; this game has heavy-rpg / mmo aspects; Raids, currencies, factions, reputation, experience, classes, armor types, elemental damage, mounts (Sparrow), zones, instances (strikes), item quality / rarity. You should be THANKING Bungie for delivering such an ambitious title. It has barely been 6 months since the game initially released, look how far it's gotten. Edit: To those saying Destiny is not an MMO; World of Warcraft, right now, is 35 GB in size, all expansions included. Bungie recommends atleast 40 GB of free storage for Destiny. It may not be a [b]traditional[/b] MMO, but the game's aspects revolve heavily around the foundation. They decided not to call it such, for the controversy that has ensued below. But it's more of an MMO than Runescape is. Edit 2: This game has more content than any other FPS out there. A large map =/= lots of content. And a short raid =/= no content either. Bungie's decisions were deliberate, and like every online game, will only expand. Edit 3: Yes, you paid for a temporary license. Create a new profile, log into Destiny with it, and the first message that pops up will ask for your confirmation or denial of a EULA Temporary Game License. Edit 4: It's funny that everyone who rejects the terminology 'massive' , has been using it to point the obvious; 6v6 is not massive; but the scope of the game is. Edit 5: To those that say Destiny hasn't surpassed Halo; Destiny is the best-selling Original IP of all time. Oh, and before the 'lore' card is pulled out; at first, Halo was nothing more than 'green space marine and purple robot-chick fight aliens on ring-world'. [i]You're looking at 6 months of progression vs 14 years.[/i] Edit 6: Wow, 500+ replies! That's more than half this thread's total comment count! I'd say a good 300 of them are overly-aggressive. But hey, I'm glad people are using their voice- err.. fingers! Edit 7: The replies are exponentially increasing. I've honestly read a good 200 of them that merely involved fellatio or being on my knees. Where has the maturity gone? Probably down the Hellmouth. :L Edit 8: This comment has [b]a staggering 96 percent[/b] of the total thread replies. I'm surprised. (yes I did the maths) Thank you Bungie. Keep it up. And remember, anonymity is the greatest temptation for negativity. Sincerely, a decade-long fan :)
