This is THE idea thread for Destiny! This thread is for the community to share its big ideas for Bungie/Deej to see so that they know what we want. Here's how this works! Ideas are organized into 3 main categories: PvP, PvE, and New/Improved Features (A.K.A the Others category). Ideas from all three categories are separated into 1 of 3 status groups. Status 1: Ideas In Demand. These ideas are the most popular through the eyes of the community. These ideas should be seriously considered by Bungie. Status 2: Ideas In Purgatory. These are the bulk of ideas that the community asks for but are not the most popular or are new ideas that the community needs to decide whether the ideas are worthy of status 1, or are junk that should be moved to status 3. Status 3: Ideas In the Trash. These ideas have been shot down by the community and largely decided as bad ideas, unnecessary, or would be a waste of Bungie's time. NOTE: All ideas are subject to change status based on the popular decision of the community. NOTE: OC = Original Idea Contributor (OC) YOUR DUTY: Post your ideas and comment/like others' to see which ideas we agree are the most important to the community!
