Anyone else notice that Bungie isn't responding to any of our posts that are related to Sunsetting?

More specifically, the ones that point out that sunsetting is a ripoff, a betrayal to the community, a slap in our faces, etc. Tell us your reasoning for Sunsetting Bungie. To quote Mara Sov: "[b][i]SPEAK![/i][/b]"

    This company is stubborn. They will do it and they will do it anyways no matter what you say. They've already planned it. I don't know what you guys know about the world but this is how a business works. They will not tell you everything. Sometimes they give out minor details and info but that's only for PR BS. You'll never know what's the truth. Never. That's how the real world works. Sunsetting is not about powercreep. There is no powercreep problem. You know why?. . . Because there will always be a powercreep in the game! Powercreep is built into the system of the game. It always is present. It's called a Metagame. When you introduce a Meta in a game, that itself promotes powercreep. These 2 things go hand in hand together. When you discover a gun is powerful, you will use that gun all the time. Why?. . . Because it is efficient. When you see a much better roll, you will do everything to get it, promote it, and then use it all the time. That's what you call having a Meta and powercreep together at the same time. Sunsetting doesn't change that. If you really know Destiny and you've been playing this game really well. This is still going to happen. The only difference is that they control what the Meta is. They can do that because it only lasts for 1 year. Gears that becomes Meta and has a tendency for powercreep only lasts for 1 year now. They control that, so they control their artificial creativity. Which is giving you the same powerful guns that you feel are new creations but really aren't. That's their solution for their creative gun problem. They cannot give you exceedingly powerful guns over and over. It will break the game. So they decided to control it and give it a life cycle. Just to reintroduce a variety of different guns that are just as equal as the ones you've had before. They may look different and have different archetypes. But they will just have the same effect as the ones you've had before. Different carrot, but they all tastes the same. Now they control that, so they also control you. You are going to be in this perpetual hamster wheel. But now they are dangling different looking carrots in front of you, but when you eat it, they all tastes the same. 2 cents. Cheers!
