I paid $60 I deserve to have access to the entire game

Getting a lot of whiners (I know, what's new) about the MM. And one thing I keep hearing is "Why should I be restricted from part of the game, I have a job, wife, family, school whatever, so it should be changed to ensure I can play. After all I paid just as much as you. Yet none of those people stop to think about the players these raids are designed for. And Bungie has been pretty vocal about wanting to have something for every type of gamer. Creating activities for every mood, or every type of gamer, means not everyone is going to like or be able to do every activity. If you're not the type of person that can schedule a time with 5 other people to tackle the hardest co-op experience in the game, then raids weren't designed for you. And it's extremely selfish and entitled of you to say that the raid Bungie designed for those players should cater to your play style. Want MM co-op dungeion, there will be probably 20 times as many strikes designed just for you than there will be raids designed for raiders. Want PVP, well Bungie has you covered as well. Want story, either lone wolf or co-op, covered. Want to explore every nook and cranny of the different worlds, covered. Between strikes, PVP, nighfall events and other limited time activities that Bungie will be providing, the 1 raid is probably like 5% of the available endgame activities. Someone only interested in PVE and skipping out on PVP is going to be missing much more of the game that someone that isn't able to raid. And since powerful exotics can be obtained in every activity, you aren't going to be out gunned by someone that can raid. TL:DR Creating activities for every mood, or every type of gamer, means not everyone is going to like or be able to do every activity. There's still an abundance of activities designed for you.

  • Very good post. I've thought long and hard on this topic. I've thought about my favorite raid gaming experiences and the most frustrating. The best gaming experience I've had hands-down was when I was gaming with a cool bunch of people that knew their role and skill level. We had great communication and we genuinely wanted each other to succeed. The worst experiences was playing with people who didn't know the raid's mission objectives or left the raid early leaving everyone else holding the bag. Disrespectful players insulting other players or no communication at all will also sink a raid. These are only a few things, but the list can go on forever. Bungie is trying to tell us something, but many of us still won't listen. They are telling us we need step our game up (no pun). They are telling us that they are going to challenge us and hold us accountable as gamers and a gaming community. If the raids are as challenging as speculated, I don't want to be in there with just some random dude. I want to be there with my brother/sister -in-arms. I want to be in there with the dream-team-awesome-squad that was collectively put together for a common goal. If you can take the time to login to forums and complain that there isn't MM for the raids, then you can login to the forums and do a group/clan shout to put together a raid squad. At the end of the day, I trust the guys at Bungie. These dudes are not only creators and developers, there are also innovators. I'm not saying it will work 100% as intended and if it doesn't, I'm sure they will make the necessary adjustments. We have to give it a chance people.
