Bungie Isn't The Biggest Problem, WE are!

I'm proud to be part of the Destiny community. It's a vibrant family of artists, directors, lore freaks, PvP'ers, and PvE'ers. However since Destiny's release 14 months ago, Bungie has been heavily criticized and even harassed due to the disaster that was vanilla Destiny and the facade that was Year 1. Ever since, we've fought as a community; elitists against casuals, noobs vs vets and haters vs fanboys about what's wrong with the game and what needs to be fixed. Nerf this? Nerf that? Buff this? Buff that? We can't agree on anything and when Bungie tries to make amends for their mistakes, we just complain and hate on them even more. We can never be satisfied, we can never be thankful for anything Bungie does to improve the situation. All the majority of our community does is brutally chastise Bungie, spouting ad hominums out of our mouths, acting like irrational man-children when we should be calmly providing feedback. For example, recently, Bungie brought back Year 1 weapons after we begged for their return, but all we did after was point fingers, saying Bungie refuses to provide fresh content. We act like spoiled brats. We act like Bungie hasn't done anything good and they must fix everything immediately or we'll leave the community. There's a constant stream of self-entitled players who announce their "dramatic" departure from the game, thinking it'll make a difference when in actuality, they're only making themselves feel better. I'm a pessimist by nature but even I understand how to look on the bright side sometimes. Many of our fellow guardians don't. Bungie has screwed up yes. Yes there need to be some changes or the game will die out. Yes we have a right to be angry, but they're really not the biggest problem right now, we are; and it's for not being rational when providing feedback, acting like the self-entitled snowflakes that think we have the perfect answers and so on. We all agree Destiny could be better yes? So what we should be doing is expressing ourselves in a more mature and rational manner, in order to better clarify what we want and how it should be done. We should fight for content for casuals and hardcore players, we should unite as a community and together, help make Destiny the game that was originally promised to us.

    • Thx for the paragraphs! Yes the community can be heavy but: Ttk comes out and they forget that New players are to fast at level 40 and have no reason to play vog. This could be easily resolved giving year 2 weapon versions at an increased difficulty same with crota. We are missing a lot of content here Hardmode comes out ttk still no elemental weapons, why not? It gives more reason to do hm. Nerf this buff that. Except the shit people ask for. Snipers, sunbreaker.. No they nerf the shit out of shotguns. Refer a friend, well al year 1 players already did that, why cant we do those missions with Our friends? Destiny is all about playing together! this would be nice to keep people playing that are now thinking about quitting. At the end bungie says: we hear you, we are listening. Well its not just listening but also understanding. Gamedevelopers exist because we play their games.

          • My current take on destiny. I challenge you to kill the hive trio under steppes using nlb without missing in 10 seconds. Rewards include glimmer (with black wax) and a chance for an idol/codex. What's that? Why would I kill something I've killed numerous times in a new way for a chance at trash? Because... Because you may get good loot. Now go out there and get me those kills.

            • Thank you for this. I wish I had enough faith in the community to hope something would come of it. :-(

            • No. The community is toxic. Bungie are a bunch of sick fückers. Everything is problematic when it comes to Destiny.

            • It's funny to see people post things like this, like it's a revelation... Truth is, this is how the world works, ask any politician... It's nice to put these words to paper but in reality it just will never happen...you can't please everyone, you just can't..no matter what Bungie does there will be detractors... We aren't the problem...In fact there is no real problem...some will say we were lied to, other will say we were over charged, some will say we whine; no matter what, there will ALWAYS be people who agree and those of whom disagree Bungie just needs to make a game with which THEY are proud of and which THEY like to play... There WILL be those whom like what is given to them and those who don't, but they can't and shouldn't worry about every little thing... They need to focus, fix bugs for mechanics they want to work and stop trying to rewrite systems (such as weapons upgrading) every patch and let people get used to one system... Bungie seems to be all over the place trying to make concessions for everyone...

              • Everything could technically be "better." The problem is, most things aren't and the gimmie generation is fond of throwing a temper tantrum when they don't get their way. You can blame parents who spared the rod for that one.

              • What?!?! Someone in #Destiny who actually has a logical thought pattern and filter before they post something?! I'm sorry but I can't, I simply can't believe this has happened! It seems that someone from another sub-forum wandered in and decided to impart knowledge, or we are witnessing an extremely rare phenomenon! A paradox even!

                • I think Bungie's done a great job. Not amazing but still a great job. One if the issues is that a lot of us destiny players focussed only on playing Destiny playing for hundreds of hours and when you only play one game for that long without taking a break it's hard for it not to feel repetitive. On that note check out my YouTube channel for some destiny gameplay haha.

                  Are they dropping old gen consoles anytime soon? I feel like if they did that then they could really start to make Destiny what it can be.
