An opinion on pre-HoW update from a disgruntled player.

Bungie, I know I have made well known my displeasure at your handling of Destiny since launch. I feel that my displeasure has been justified. Some Gamers have agreed with me, some have not cared, some have disagreed with me. That's fine, we all have opinions. But as I watch more and more as you update this Community on the changes to the game preceding the drop of House of Wolves, I feel that I should leave my Feedback on the Forums as well. 1) I understand your desire for having a special method to upgrade our older Legendary and Exotic weapons, but was yet [i][b]another[/i][/b] special crafting mat necessary? I think just the 2500+ Hadronic Essence or 2000+ Weapon Parts I have in my inventory would have been plenty, but that's just my opinion. This is probably my only major criticism of the next game update. If you can keep the issues to small, insignificant items like this, then you'll keep moving in the right direction. 2) I enjoy the fact that you seem to have recognized that taking weapons and items out of the game removes player choice and options for "uniqueness". Letting us upgrade our older weapons and armor increases player choice and individuality, and that is never a bad thing in any video game. Look at the success of the Elder Scrolls franchise in this area. More player options will always help a game succeed. 3) While I was looking forward to a new Raid, I understand your reasons for holding it back. The Prison of Elders seems fun from what I've seen. It resembles Firefight from ODST/Reach, and those were some of my most-enjoyed experiences in those two games. This could be a huge money-maker for Destiny if you've kept the Prison close to that experience. 4) The new social area in the Reef looks very nice. Again, more options equals much happier Gamers. As long as you don't remove social options from the base game, I don't see any part of this as a negative. 5) You finally gave me an actual reason to visit the Gunsmith again. I cannot praise this enough. 6) In my opinion, the Vault of Glass is the most fun experience in your entire game. You are making it relevant again with this upcoming patch/update. Again, this is another area that I cannot praise highly enough. Those are my impressions so far. There's more reveals and explanations coming along in the next week or so until the update comes out. While I still remain very skeptical, it does appear as if you are finally listening to the people who give you the money to cut paychecks (the Gamers), and this needs to continue. I for one; will be watching to make sure that you are truly on a good path to improving this game. So far, this future update looks good, but it could be derailed by instituting more arbitrary roadblocks to player progression. Please do not make that mistake again. In closing; I still remain skeptical, I still remain disgruntled. But you seem to be moving in the right direction for the future of Destiny. Please, stay on the path it appears you are moving on. Don't repeat what you did with "The Dark Below", your game probably won't survive a second screw up like that.
