When the rumours are true that Destiny/Tiger will be similar to an MMO in some way there are three things that could prevent me from buying the game. Here they are:
- stupid and pointless quests like "Collect 20 of this and 10 of this and bring everything to this person."
- charges that you have to pay to play the game (in addition to XBL)
- conversations in the form of text without synchronization
I hope some Bungie employee reads this and takes it to heart.

Most of the employees that actually come on this site don't work on the game development. Plus Bungie doesn't make their game based on fan request.

They're here to ease communication between gamers and developers. So maybe DeeJ or Urk read this and think "Well, that's your opinion. We make games WE want to play.". But later they read something similar and remember that they already read something like this and then they read another post that is similar and so on. Maybe then they will mention at the next team meeting that (for example) a lot of people in the community are not willing to pay charges to play. It isn't very likely that it will have an impact on the game, but there's still a chance. And by the way: That wasn't a "fan request" at all. I just expressed my fears regarding imo typical bad MMO features that could be implemented in Tiger. I didn't write "PUT THIS, THIS AND THIS IN THE GAME BUNGIIIIIE!!!".

False advertising.

Bungie could put any damn thing they they wanted in it...I would still buy.

Mysterious ring worlds. Religious alien collectives. Mysterious advanced alien races that mysteriously vanished. Powered armored space marines.

Community Management is part of game development too, regardless. The public is only exposed to a very small slice of their work. [Edited on 05.11.2012 12:16 PM PDT]

I would prefer that glitches and bugs be left out.

To use past examples, Halo stat tracking, player models, file share stuff, etc.. That stuff doesn't just magically appear. Bungie.net is much more connected to our games that you seem to give it credit for.

Can I ask you guys a question? Doesn't it not piss you off that you put so much work (all of you) into Halo and now it's been handed to some one else, dont that make you mad? [Edited on 05.11.2012 1:02 PM PDT]
