Reading takes effort instead they listen And do absolutely nothing about MCs iron banner LL advantages edge transit and more

I think they skim it. Every 3rd week or so. More on Twitter and Reddit though. There should be a reply in each forum section 2 or 3 times every active workday. They have what, 2x or 3x current community managers? Surely when they're flying to PAX, Guardiancon, PAX West ect....they'd have time to just chat with the community on THEIR OWN APP. Whether it works well or not. Even just 1x reply on the main D2 forum at the beginning of each day. Instead we see a sporadic bloom of their responses every few weeks. We heard that, we'll start tracking that Stay tuned We'll speak more in the future 'Insert cryptic tweet here' There WILL BE another way to get seeds Hey there's an issue we fixed, that we didnt tell you about before at all in OUR OWN APP, but it's on a subreddit somewhere. 96% of our 8 vendors have 98% of their bounties for crucible. Yay! All our bounties have vague % guidelines, rather than concrete numbers. To let player discover exactly how to do a quest I know there's what, 3x major studios as well as Activision doing amazing work on the game with tons of separate teams. Couldn't at least one community manager go visit each team like once a month. Ask, "Hey! What are you working on? What can you tell me that I can share with the community?", then move on to the next. Then have HR or their overwatch folk go through their notes and say what they could or couldn't share. Then, you know, share.... - Sorry. Thanks, I dont think they read and reply as much as they could. Or they're being restrained by an overwatch department. See you starside!

They have to listen the fear of losing fans and money is a powerful enemy

They do read, they just choose what gets ignored.

Bungie has many things that need patched or reworked as normal with any large content drop. They are collecting feedback and have rolled out 4 patches in just 2 weeks. Fixing exotic drop rates or removing Masterworks aren't as important as you think they are. Perhaps you should stop playing

They do. I’ve actually seen alot of my very specific suggestions go into the game. BUT, they take their sweet time implementing certain things until after they’ve had their way. For example, something like masterwork cores. It’s so obvious that it’s really just their way of forcing you to 1) try the new weapons and gear, 2) grind the higher level activities’ bosses. Then Once they feel like the content has sat long enough, they will swoop in and say, “we’ve heard you that the infusion economy is a little too demanding, we are going to change the masterwork core requirements for infusion by ________.”

I disagree. If they weren't listening, forsaken would've bombed. Not to mention the amount of fixes that were pushed out over the course of past two weeks.

Which issue is it you're currently hoping they address? Curious.

"We're listening" "We're going to start being more active in the forums" "We promise!" ...Oops, I misspelled "bump"

Bungie read SOME of it. But for the most part of anything is done, there's always elitist assholes who crawl out of their caves to bitch about something they don't like as if nobody else is allowed to have an opinion... Granted there are times that but guess respond by making something too easy or difficult in response to some complaints, for instance the hand canon invader kills. Anyone who earned ace of spades thinks they have the right to bitch about people who complained about the difficulty while completely disregarding that the bulk of the difficulty and frustration came from the overuse of sleeper simulant. Rather than direct frustrations about the simplicity of the quest to bungie or simply get the -blam!- over it, they'd rather point the finger at everyone else. For the record, I earned my ace of spades for myself and helped my dad out too. So what? I had a hard time dealing with sleeper and other meta weapons and got through on my own sure. But ya know what? This change doesn't affect me. I was pissed at first about it being easier for people and knowing I've been through so much pain to get it but that's the thing. I've been through some hard times to get this thing. That made it so much more satisfying when I got it. It makes it that much more satisfying to say that I EARNED mine. Sure everyone else can get one, but who cares? We get to say we did it, we beat that challenge and we got better with hand canons along the way. You know who may come out of the quest with less skill than us? Anyone who gets the easy AI kills. I understand why some are angry, I won't discount how much effort most of us have expended, and I understand that most feel like exotics should be earned, but there's legendary weapons that are better and are harder to get. In the end, an exotic quest is just something to do to get that guaranteed drop. At least you're not fighting RNG just to get another year 1 exotic right?

If i were the employee that has to dig through this forum full of hate posts and whining, I would just quit. Most of these posts are less cohesive feedback, more children whining about something being to hard. Bungie does reply to posts, but they only reply to that particular topic once.

I think they read and take the criticism as they see fit. Sometimes they will fix something that it is actually broken, most of the times they fix something because they think it is the best approach. Like the famous nerf of truth in D1... among many other things. In D2 a clear example is why they havent bother yet fixing queues with solo players in PvP, I am still paired up against 6 men ft have been since y1 d1 and will be until the end of destiny.

Nope, they don’t

I can guarantee Bungie actively reads these forums.
