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.

  • I'm sorry to break it to you, but mature and constructive criticism doesn't work with Bungie anymore.. They only seem to notice after months of incessant whining which I'm not an advocate of. Either way, squeaky wheel gets the grease. Whatever shred of humanity I thought Bungie still possessed has long since been eradicated. All they've done, are continually doing, and will continue to do is devalue our time and effort while simultaneously reaching deeper in your pocket so you can pay for more timegated content that was supposed to be playable at an earlier date. All this is done in hopes of giving the game longevity so Bungievision can squeeze as much money out you as possible. (Which is an honest and fair intention I guess, but the execution is horrible) Honestly this game impacted me greatly, good and bad.. But if could go back, I wouldn't have bought the game in the first place. -a once loyal fan with 2500+ hours played My advice? Put down the controller, find a more constructive way to spend your time.
