You've totally not understood me, or the OP... And I'm sure as shit not going to spell it out for you.

[quote]You've totally not understood me, or the OP... And I'm sure as shit not going to spell it out for you.[/quote] In other words you enjoy being a poor misunderstood snowflake? Part of communicating is explaining what’s going on in your head.

Ooh... You've resorted to name calling... Cool. Pretty much every reply to you is in the same vein as mine... But whatever. Let's see if I can explain it to you in a way that you might try to see it from a different perspective. I am a Beta/Day 1 D1 player who bought the $300 Ghost Edition as well as a digital copy. All DLC'S 2200+hrs in D1. Grinded for every exotic. Did every activity. All the same as above for D2 except... 850+hrs in D2 Grinded for months without a single exotic or cosmetic drop because of bad RNG. Done everything except for Spire of Stars (Cbf). I don't consider myself "hardcore" but I also don't consider myself "casual" either, but D2 has lost me... And many many others like me because of the direction they've taken, and their lack of willingness to listen to the people who I feel make up the majority of their target demographic. What gives you enjoyment from this game is, and can be vastly different from other people. For some people earning titles is important to them because they're completionist. Some people want to collect everything. Some people just like shooting stuff. Each person plays the way they want for their own reasons, and when some of those reasons are hindered by unforgiving RNG, it's a problem for [u][b]them[/b][/u]. Just because you don't see the value in something doesn't mean no-one else should... Right? There's only so much of doing something over and over and over again you can do before it becomes boring, so... You look to what else there is to do... Titles? Sure! So, you start working on that until you get to the point of frustration when week after week, month after month, you can't acquire what you're working towards without success because you're only given a chance... Rather than being rewarded for your time. I've supported this franchise since before Day 1. Supported it financially and by spending time in game and by "defending" it right here on these forums. And I've been supporting this Developer since Halo CE... So my passion for it brings me to where I am today. So... Am I still being a [quote]"poor misunderstood snowflake"?[/quote]

Hey thanks for explaining your thoughts. Nowhere was I name calling...let’s put on our big boy pants for minute huh? The “snowflake” comment had to do with the fact that you were making blanket statement and saying you didn’t need to explain your reasoning. You are perfectly within your rights to hate the game, quit, keep playing, whatever. I’ve never said differently. Not every game is for every person. My point is still that a specific gun or title doesn’t change the game to point that makes it or breaks it. That’s my opinion and I’ll stick by that. If you don’t enjoy the gameplay on its own enough for that to be the reason you continue playing...then maybe it is time for you to look elsewhere. But changing the RNG isn’t going to make you like the game any better. It’ll just get you things earlier and then you’ll start complaining about something else. Also who cares if “every comment is in the same vein” as yours? I don’t care if I have an unpopular opinion. It’s still my opinion and as valid as yours and the rest of the forum sheep. You yourself mentioned different people enjoy different things about the game.

[quote]Hey thanks for explaining your thoughts.[/quote] You're welcome. [quote]Nowhere was I name calling...let’s put on our big boy pants for minute huh?[/quote] Pretty sure I had them on... But keep those veiled (or not so much) insults coming. See, I usually explain my points on here, yet it never seems to do any good apart from waste my time. [quote]The “snowflake” comment had to do with the fact that you were making blanket statement and saying you didn’t need to explain your reasoning.[/quote] So calling me a "snowflake" isn't "name calling" huh? Put your "big boy pants" on and accept responsibility... Huh? [quote]You are perfectly within your rights to hate the game, quit, keep playing, whatever.[/quote] Thanks... I think? [quote]I’ve never said differently. Not every game is for every person.[/quote] But this game wasn't like this to begin with, which in essence, is what drew a number of people to it. It's changed, but let's just ignore that part. [quote]My point is still that a specific gun or title doesn’t change the game to point that makes it or breaks it.[/quote] Let's just agree to disagree. Like you said... [quote]That’s my opinion and I’ll stick by that.[/quote] [quote]If you don’t enjoy the gameplay on its own enough for that to be the reason you continue playing...then maybe it is time for you to look elsewhere.[/quote] So what you're saying is... If [b]EVERYTHING[/b] else apart from shooting aliens was removed, meaning no rewards and no "goals", you'd still happily and mindlessly play for the same amount of time you have already, and can see yourself doing into the future? Wow... You're easily pleased. [quote]But changing the RNG isn’t going to make you like the game any better. It’ll just get you things earlier and then you’ll start complaining about something else.[/quote] So you're telling me what I'm going to like and not like now? Interesting 🤔 No. Actually if the RNG was [i]better[/i] I would like the game [i]better[/i]. I fail to understand what's so hard to comprehend about that. Now what I'm [b]NOT[/b] suggesting is "free handouts" for doing "nothing". But when you play a game for fun, where the loot [i]is[/i] an important part of the experience, and the loot holds you back from reaching whatever personal goal you're trying to achieve, how is that not a problem? Just because you don't care about anything other than the most basic doesn't mean everyone else has to feel the same way as you. For them (and me) it becomes unrewarding... Because they're not getting the loot from a "looter shooter". The. Point. Of. The. Game. But it's ok... Because you know me so well I guess I'll just move on and complain about something else. Pffffffffffffffffffft

Lol somebody’s bitter. Look pal it’s ok to have different opinions about a game. But that’s something I guess you just don’t understand. Yes, if they removed all RNG and loot and it was just shooting aliens...I’d still play because it’s (gasp) fun. You want something different from the game. So leave. It’s not difficult. You want me to validate your opinion? Not gonna happen buddy. It’s your opinion and I’m entitled to my own. I call it as I see it. Deal with it.

Yet you seem to not want to accept how other people see the game, and why they're asking for change. I understand where you're coming from, I really do. Destiny has the best gunplay in any game. No other game currently comes close. It's extremely fun just shooting shit. But this game isn't just about shooting shit... Something you refuse to acknowledge. Your opinion is not wrong as it is your own, and you're right... You don't care what I think, and I don't care what you think... Which ironically was the pre-emptive reason for my initial reply where you got triggered. [quote]You've totally not understood me, or the OP... And I'm sure as shit not going to spell it out for you.[/quote] Deal with it. Also funnily enough, this too has been a waste of my time.

[quote] Which ironically was the pre-emptive reason for my initial reply where you got triggered.[/quote] Oh I’m far from triggered pal. You must be new to the internet if you think that’s triggered. Hang in there buddy, it’s a wild ride. Oh well, you don’t seem to want to see any other viewpoint than your own which is mirrored by the vast majority of forum goers here, so guess I’ll just let y’all wallow in your own self pity. Enjoy!
