[quote]Well, as far as the contract, they were required to push out a full title. Again, this doesnt mean this meant that D2 should have discarded of the good work in D1. If it had to be a completely different game or complete overhaul then why some of the elements were kept?[/quote] > The "Elements" were kept because it's STILL "Destiny." The elements kept are part of what MADE the game what it is. And yes, the contract from Activision wanted players to have to grind from 0 all over again, because it encouraged them to buy more microtransactions, rather than just being "happy with what they already had." [quote] I am neither arrogant or stupid as you presume to be. All I did was to point out that you did not show an evidence but your word. If you presented the evidence and said here it is, I'd gladly accept that I was wrong. And I'd consider the new information you provided into my perception of the game and Bungie. However, you chose to insult me rather than having a mature conversation.[/quote] > A Horse is a Horse. [quote]Honestly, I love it when this logic is used :). it is extremely shortsighted and I still cannot warp my head around how anyone could end up at this conclusion. [/quote] > Sure, lemme clear this up for you: In the beginning, they took away certain things because it was their intention and direction to move away from them and branch out into newer, different things. (Going from 6v6 Crucible to 4v4 Crucible. Going from 'pleding clan loyalty' to 'Faction Rallies'.) However, people made it known that they were unhappy with these changes, and they made it known in large, significant numbers that they wanted things to go back to the way they were, because they preferred them the way they were. So, to appease the Fanbase (because believe it or not, pleasing your fans IS how games like this succeed and become better) they made the changes people were asking for, and began to reimplement some of the older aspects of the game. (6v6 Crucible. Bringing back some favorite Crucible-Maps. Adding in events like 'The Blind Well,' which was similar to the Court of Oryx and the Archon's Forge, which were fan-favorite activities in Destiny 1.) That's not just, "Hey, this will make money." That's also: "If we don't listen to our fanbase and make them happy, we will fail." Which is not a negative thing. It's actually a GOOD thing. We're the fanbase. We WANT to be Happy. It's GOOD for us to be Happy. If we're happy, Bungie makes MORE money! If we're NOT happy, Bungie makes LESS money! BUT, here's the kicker: Some fans (your ears might be burning here) sat there complaining that Destiny 2 wasn't as good as Destiny 1, because it was missing elements from Destiny 1. But then, the darndest thing happened, Bungie brought BACK a lot of those elements from Destiny 1, and STILL some fans are complaining about those elements not being in Destiny 2 from the very beginning... Well, what do you want, Cupcake? There's only so much they can do here. Ask yourself this: Short of Bungie building a time machine, going BACK IN TIME to the launch of Destiny 2, and incorporating all of those missing elements from Day 1... What can they REALISTICALLY do about it, to make "some fans" happy? Here's your choices: 1.) They listen to your complaints, and give you what you want (better late than never??). 2.) They don't listen to your complaints, and DON'T give you what you want, and you keep complaining. Now I know that for you, option 3.) "Get what I want, but keep complaining anyways" probably seems like the best one, but at that point you're not really complaining because you want things improved. You're just complaining for the sake of complaining, because it's what you enjoy doing. So, what's it gonna be, Sunshine? How do they make it all better for you? You want them to fix what's wrong? Or you just wanna complain?
