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.

  • Just a forewarning, I don't care whether they implement MM or not, but to play devil's advocate... [quote]Creating activities for every mood, or every type of gamer, means not everyone is going to like or be able to do every activity. [/quote] Not true at all. They should still have the [i]opportunity[/i] to do whichever activity they want through in-game mechanics, despite their real life situation. It's not an impossible task. [quote]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.[/quote] False equivalency, and not what people are arguing. They are arguing for the opportunity to use MM or do it with pre-mades. Adding MM does not need to alter the raid's play style or affect anyone else's play style. [quote]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.[/quote] Raiders can still do strikes just as easily as non-raiders. [quote]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. [/quote] Huge assumption so that argument cannot be made yet. [quote]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.[/quote] But it's their choice without in-game mechanics preventing them from doing PVP. [quote]And since powerful exotics can be obtained in every activity, you aren't going to be out gunned by someone that can raid.[/quote] Another huge assumption, and likely an incorrect one. The safe assumption would be the opposite, that raids provide the best gear in the game. [quote]Creating activities for every mood, or every type of gamer, means not everyone is going to like or be able to do every activity.[/quote] Being able to like is not the same as being able to do. Giving more people (busy people with less time to commit) the opportunity to do something does not need to prevent other people (raiders) from liking something. Honestly, if Bungie made it easier to communicate and create clans from WITHIN the game, most the complaints would be moot.
