Hello dear Destiny community, I know nobody really knows me or cares about my opinion, but I still want to get this out there. Like the title suggests I want to put the final nail into the coffin of my Destiny "carreer". I've put a ton of hours into this game. But now after the release of the Taken King the deal is sealed: I'm out! The reasons for this are plentiful. For example the lackluster story(TTK included), high dlc prices and frustatring, very often occuring, connection and balancing issues in the crucible just to name a few. But what tipped me over the edge was Bungies disrespect towards parts of our community. The old guard to be precise. Year One buyers were given the shaft in many different aspects and especially the people who still don't own TTK. From release date to now, Bungie showed me that they care much more about money than making a good and satisfying experience from beginning to end. The more interesting part is what kept me playing. It was a mixture of good will, hope and addiction. With the addiction part I'm referencing the randomized loot. If we are serious with each other, Destiny's RNG System is nothing more than a hidden slot machine. Just ask yourself how many hours you spent fishing for good loot by doing nightfalls, farming engrams and compleating raids over and over again without having fun and ending in a fruitless crusade? Too many hours to count in my case. But this hope of "Oh, they're going to fix this soon" and "They couldn't allow this to go on for a long while" kept me coming back just to see if Bungie finally got back to their senses and worked out all the issues we've been complaining about. I was greeted with a lot of dissapointment. Were you? Did you ever think that those people actually cared about your feelings as a gamer? Am I the only one who's hopes were crushed? Who's opinion was ignored, just for the sake of profit? I firmly belief that that is not true. The guys at Bungie and Activision don't think our opinions really matter. Sure, they tell us that they do - but there actions suggest strongly that this statement is false. That's the sad truth. My hope died. But why am I posting this here? Simple: I want to warn you. Bungie doesn't care about you, not really. They just care about what's in your pockets. And I know I will probably get a lot of hate from fellow community members because they feel personally offended which is caused by me critiquing a game they like and identify with. To those people - I am NOT your enemy. I'm a brother in arms who fell because of Bungies abuse of trust. I'm trying to look out for you - shield you from bull presented by the devs. And don't blame Activision for everything, Bungie has lost their innocence long ago and you shouldn't try to pretend that there still the same ol' guys from the Halo days. They've changed and won't hesitate to take advantage of you by selling you stuff that you don't need.[i]cough[/i] microtransactions [i]cough[/i] Save your money and your time for better games that deserve it. Don't make the mistakes I made - this is a business between you and Bungie/Activision. Treat it as such. You are not at their mercy - they're at yours. Farewell fellow community members. I wish you luck and hope that you can draw your own conclusions off of this. Keep your standards high, either Activision addepts to them or they'll fall.
