Interesting read.

Everyone should give this a read. A lot of hot topics in the Destiny community as of late. I'm interested to hear everyone's thoughts.

  • I find it interesting that in all that commentary no one seemed to appropriately point the finger at activision/blizzard as being the real issue not Bungie. Everyone seems to forget that; as much as it is hated; blizzard has a successful game farming framework in play : WoW. Yes it's infuriating that we won't see the original creator's brainchild as intended for destiny but BLIZZARD is involved, and it comes down to number of players & income. Grinding to them = good because wow is literally rooted in this concept and has a successful enough track record/revenue stream that it won't be forfeited for a 'possibly successful' other play style / business strategy. It's FPS gamers who are not used to this play style. Joe Staten left as things moved forward, I believe that the initial conceptual idea was progressively to merge the FPS/MMORPG player base and reap the rewards of a much larger group of players touching your game! However, by doing what this xpac did and flopping a basic known value by MMO players of 'grind grind grind' onto an FPS crowd which is typically not used to that was bound to create problems! in WoW gear is CONSTANTLY and I mean CONSTANTLY burned... and you dont even get a Portion of the proceeds back for that investment! I think a real hard look needs to be taken at this new game strategy or before you know it Destiny will turn into the FPS equivalent of WoW... and I for one say F*&^ that.
