How about "Thank a Vet" instead...

Refer a Friend is a slap in the face for Year 1 vets, hell even for TTK guardians! If you have played this for months or over a year, the chances of this being a doable quest are very low. Hey Bungie... How about THANK A VET? You could support at REAL cause like U.S. veterans. You could show APPRECIATION for your customers who already bought your game. Twice. You could do something fun and positive for your fanbase instead of EXPLOITING THEM. Crazy concept. EDIT: changed US to U.S. To alleviate confusion. EDIT: This is not a post trying to stir the pot and create controversy about military or political views. It is just a suggestion for Bungie to use their power/popularity for a noble cause instead of straight money grabs. People who want to hijack the thread just to spew anti military or anti American BS are missing the point. While it is entertaining to watch them dig their own little (a few huge) holes please leave that stuff at the door. Thanks for the positive posts. EDIT: Forget it. A lot of you have just used this as a place to spread your agenda of hate, disrespect and low intelligence. The idea is to use Destiny's popularity for a good cause instead of greed. Most of you can't see past the tiny details: "Destiny is played in other countries" "I don't like war, soldiers etc" Fine come up with something else or just leave then. This was in no way a fully realized plan, it was an idea. People are so up in arms to shoot everything down and keep paying Bungie that they behave like jerks. Forget I said anything. Enjoy referring a friend and filling Bungie's pockets as their unpaid marketers. Bye.

  • Thank the U.S. army for killing a million + in Iraq? Or thank them for destroying Lybia? Or thank them for destablizing the middle east via israel? Geee , thx a million . You do realize this game is sold world wide right? How abt your troops just defend your own country and leave the rest of the world alone? I would even thank them for that. Deal?

    • SO many wannabe tough guys in here bashing you. Stolen valor is an actual thing. Half these fuc kers claiming to be military veterans are lying. Those that arent were probably real badass manning the S4, lol! Your mistake was trying to do something positive through Bungle, that doesnt push a liberal agenda.

        wait a second... didn't they give us (yr 1 vets) a sparrow? and a shader? and an emblem? and a free exotic? but now you're getting upset that they're giving new players similar things [spoiler]logic does not compute[/spoiler] now I will say I am kinda upset that they dropped last gen but it makes sense to try and get people to move towards next gen in prep for destiny 2

        • How about "stop wanting to be patted in the ass just because youve played a game longer than someone else". I think that event would be more beneficial to you.

          • So the problem here is, a certain percentage of the player base is getting rewards and the rest aren't. And you solution to the problem is by giving a percentage of players rewards and exclude the other percentage. You sir should go into politics, I don't know why but considering how politicians are, you would do a smashing good job.

          • Personally I think it's a good idea. Same premise they used for the earthquake victims. For that matter.. they could do things for feeding the hungry in the US etc.

                • This idea that the only vets are people who served in the military are idiotic. You people need to open up the dictionary and read what veteran says. Its for people that do things for extended periods of time. I Agree that playing a video game for a year doesn't make you a vet but the military is not the only way to become one , like every other post would have you think.

                  I'm a vet. NO. We live a life of service. This pandering nonsense you advocate is the exact OPPOSITE of service. The rest of your post is entitlement bullshit. -blam!- off

                  What the *** did you just *** say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the *** out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my *** words.

                    I HATE when people use the term VET to describe themselves after they played a video game for a year.... I started in beta and I'm not a vet, I played every mario since 1983 and I'm not a VET. I'm just a guy who plays video games,in his spare time, and I don't deserve any more respect than anyone else because of it As for supporting a real VET, no it's a computer games company it should stick to what it's good at and leave politics to politicians... If it starts supporting military it's gonna get a shit ton of abuse and who's gonna defend them, the military? Nope

                    • As a veteran (military), I don't need this. But thanks for the thought I guess.

                    • As a veteran myself..... We get plenty of respect, stop expecting everyone to suck your dick because you served your country.
