Wow. You’ve at least proven conclusively that you should quit trying to lecture people on how the language works. You’ve “taken tests?” What grade are you in, that you think that’s meaningful? You’re probably part of the generation that gets 5 or 6 hundred points or whatever for just signing the SAT. BTW, “I can’t be bothered,” is [i]the[/i] most abused excuse by people trying to hide their inability with the language. So you really should listen to the guy with the graduate degree in the subject. [i]Dictionaries aren’t prescriptive.[/i] And, like I said, only school kids quote dictionaries. Well, millennial college kids probably do, too, but that’s another discussion—no one with an actual clue about the language does.

  • Try looking up the term "feedback", it may blow your mind since you seem to not understand what it means.

    The fact that you think OP is simply providing feedback proves my point. [spoiler]Hint: simple feedback doesn’t involve calling something a “slap in the face.” Unless, of course, you’re spoiled and pissed off and can’t handle not getting things your way. And we call that attitude “entitled.”[/spoiler] Seriously: stay in school. Edit: pwned by UBB

  • The fact that you think that it's not proves my point. Simple. As. That. Here since you seem to forget the English language: Entitled: "believing oneself to be inherently deserving of privileges or special treatment."(Sorry your slang version of entitled holds no true bearing here.") Feedback: "information about reactions to a product, a person's performance of a task, etc. which is used as a basis for improvement." Which Exotic drops/duplication is in need of improvement. Which is OP made this post. It needs improvement, hence is why hey posted in here so that Bungie devs can see, "hey this is still a problem? Good to know, we'll be working on it".

  • Like I said: quoting a dictionary as if it means anything is a grade school move, slick. If that’s all you’ve got, it’s clear you’ve never learned to think (or how logic works), and should just be quiet. Bitching may technically be “feedback” in the loosest sense, but it’s not useful, and thus pointless to call feedback.

  • Also, read the OP's last paragraph? Feedback is exactly what this was. Like I said, have fun being ignorant.

  • Yet once again you display your poor reading comprehension. But even if the final paragraph were reasonable, it doesn’t negate the bitching, entitled tone of the rest. But the, “I paid money; I deserve the lootz!” is both Whitney [i]and[/i] entitled. Not feedback in any meaningful sense. It’s “feedback” the same way a toddler throwing a tantrum is “feedback.”

  • Definitions are there for a reason. Just because you use words incorrectly doesn't mean I'm wrong. I've tried helping by giving you the definition of the word you're using incorrectly, and giving you the WORD and DEFINITION of the word you're actually trying to describe yet you still choose to be ignorant. Stay ignorant, but when the Exotic drop rate is boosted, I'm coming back and rubbing in as to how wrong you are/were. Just because you for some reason seem to be ok with it doesn't mean it's in a good state.

  • Lol only ignoramuses throw aside definitions when the literal definition conflicts with what they're trying to prove. Sorry but "entitled" *In old Obi-Wan's voice* is not the word you're looking for. And as for the "I can't be bothered", I think you confused with I don't give a -blam!- if you want it in paragraphs, I'm typing to get something across to you not write you a book on why Exotic drops rates and duplicates are absolute shite or as I more elegantly put it "I'm not typing for your convenience I'm typing to get my point across".

  • Yeah. The entire point of communication is to convey meaning to others. Guess what inhibits that? Not properly formatting or obeying basic rules of grammar. Seriously, who thinks paragraphs are only for books? Do you also think sentences are only for tests? Verbs are optional?
