Why is the Destiny community so toxic? A question from a new player.
I would like to preface this with the fact that I've been gaming for a long time and I've been heavily involved with various communities over the years. I have been a fan of Bungie for as long as I can remember. I ran a community called Arm The Flag during the Halo days and we got our Machinima work on the front page all the time. I was even interviewed by the community director, Urk at the time. I've seen issues left and right within games, their creators, and the communities around them and I know there is a mature/respectful way to handle them.
I am late to the Destiny game as I just recently finally purchased an Xbox One and I was eager to jump into the Destiny community because I remember all of the fun I had back in the Halo days....well that feeling was soon squashed for me. Upon checking out the Bungie Forums and jumping on r/DestinyTheGame on Reddit for the first time a few days ago I was met with all of of this hatred and resentment towards Bungie for just about every little aspect of the game. Where was this beloved community that I remembered from back in the day? It was nowhere to be seen.
Now I've seen the posts and arguments...I realize that veteran players feel shafted for the Y1 stuff taken away then brought back...that's some BS. I see the arguments against the RAF program...which I think is an excellent program and the people complaining about it come off as nitpicking self entitled children, but that's just my opinion. Regardless of your opinion instead of dumping toxic waste posts everywhere in the community about how Destiny is shit and you hate Bungie, and you think it should be this way....maybe you should look at a more constructive way.
Where is the mature community that enjoys the game? Where is the mature community that instead of whining like little girls they start a meaningful discussion and possibly come up with something to present Bungie that voices the thoughts of the community as a whole? Turning this sub and the Bungie forums into a cesspool of negativity, complaints, and a whine fest will not help your cause.
I love you guys...and I've loved my time playing Destiny so far, but I hate reading through all these crap threads day after day.

We have stuck by Bungie from Day One, yet the total disregard we are shown by people like Luke Smith and our supposed Community Manager DeeJ is beyond belief. You ask, "Where is the beloved community that I remembered from back in the day?" But the question you should be asking is, "Where is my beloved Bungie from back in the day?" Bungie has taken a serious turn for the worse and all of those people who remember them from the great HALO experience were more than happy to give them the benefit of the doubt for a rocky year one start, but unfortunately despite the claims that they've learned from those mistakes Bungie has kept TTK pretty much the same as what we saw in Year One. So reading your post all I see is another thread trying to blame the community for the toxicity which is in plain view for anyone to see on these forums, but not understanding where the real blame lies. We've supported this game for nearly 15 months now with both our time and money. It's time we should be seeing a return on our investment, but all we're getting are empty promises or vague statements about how things are going to improve in the future.
