Bungie, you listened to the wrong group
I kinda feel bad for Bungie. You could see the worry in their eyes as they read the comments during the stream.
I think that they're getting a whole lot of hate that is really unfair to them. Like CoD players who are pissed off at the RNG. They made a game that is a hybrid of things that don't really go fantastic together. Well, they work fine together, just the communities don't go well together. Yes Destiny is a good game, but it can't serve the market of all the FPS players who came expecting that RNG wasn't going to be a major factor. And all the MMO players are already hooked on other MMOs and those who actually came out and tried the game seem to really like it. But all the FPS players are giving Bungie a hard time because they don't have experience with the kind of game Bungie has made. It makes me kinda sad.
Another problem is what I call "The Zippers". They binge the content and zip through it at an unreasonable pace, and then bitch and moan about a lack of content. Destiny actually has loads of content. You've just gotta play casually. That's what the game is designed for. TTK could easily last 6 months without the Zippers. But the Zippers seem to all have come to play Destiny. And I'm sure that they are just a small minority of the player base and that most of us actually have fun with the game casually. But they're a really vocal minority. And Bungie noticed them. That's why we got TTK so big. That's also why we get events. But I'm sooo -blam!-ing tired of Zippers bitching and moaning all the mother-blam!-ing time!
So basically Bungie, you listened to the wrong group of players. You listened to the vocal minority. So now everyone's bitching. Thanks for reading, if you made it this far. Peace.
EDIT 1: So, a lot of you have been saying how you need to play for loot and stuff, but I speak from the actual main standpoint of the game, to have fun. Playing at a slower pace makes the game longer lasting and more fun.
EDIT 2: Will Bungie see this? No, probably not. But Donald Trump is a strong presidential candidate, Leo won an Oscar, and Kanye West is broke. Anything is possible in 2016. So Bungie may see this.
EDIT 3: I understand that Bungie has made a lot of blunders with Destiny but I also believe that it's the community's fault for misinterpreting what this game is.

1 ReplyI agree to an extent, but when you have events like "raids" and "pvp" that require a certain Light level to get in and or play effectively, these "zippers" are doing what they need to do in order to get into these events. They want to play the raids they want to compete in trials of osiris and iron banner but in order to do so they have to a certain light and the only way to get that is to grind the game. I understand your point, but bungie is partly at fault for this. For example The TTK dropped on a tuesday and their most anticipated even yet "kings fall raid" was released on the same week that friday. So with there being a requirement to have a certain light level in order to get into this event, many or destiny players grinded the game as much as they could within those 3 days so they could play it! I know i was one of the players i played day in day out those 3 days with minimal sleep in order to play the new raid. I was done with the whole story and most of the quest lines within those 3 days. If we really wanted to play that raid we didn't really have a choice. I might add i am not one of the players in the community that are complaining about lack of content. I am simply saying that bungie is mostly at fault for releasing the raid so early to the release of the TTk and putting a level requirement on it. We were forced to burn through all the content if we wanted to play the raid, so i think that is why many players are expecting more content. Which with a game like destiny i do believe to keep it fresh and alive something new should be released every 3 months or so to keep people entertained and interested. Even if it is something small and or if we even have to pay for it. My point is though i believe bungie made a mistake by releasing the Raid with a requirement of a certain light just 3 days after the TTK.If they would have taken their time with releasing the raid then people would have taken their time going through the story and quest lines, Rather than being forced to rush through it to participate in the event. If they were going to release it that early it may have been a smart idea to not put a requirement light on it. That way people would not have rushed the story and the quests and would have been able to participate in the raid and still have plenty of content to play. Since everyone felt like they were forced to rush it in order to play the raid i think the majority of people thought that this cant be it, bungie would be releasing more content "which makes perfect sense". In the long run i believe the way bungie structured it, it's their fault that people are upset. Me personally I am not.
