They've shown growth over the course of a year, each "expansion" shows that in varying degrees of success. But I want to know how Bungie is learning; are they learning by example or are they taking notes from observations made from other games or both?

I agree. I just wish the community could be happy with what they get for once. They're like a little toddler "wah wahhh wah i want more wah wahhh wahh thats not good enough"

They are improving [spoiler]by 0.04%[/spoiler]

Garbage PvP PvP that destroys PvE Glitchy raids (old and new) Micro transaction after micro transaction They have nerfed more than half of the game into the dirt (and are gunna do more of it come the 12th) Stale content "We listen to the community"..... must be packing your ears full of shit first. I love this game, and have quite a few accomplishments...... but, seriously. I bought this game for what it was advertised as. Not this clogged garbage disposal it has become.

No. I think Bungie is twenty years out of step with the rest of the industry. They're management style and way of interacting with the community is more like that a of a company from the 1990s than one in 2016. They are slow, and stubborn compared to other more responsive and nimble video game developers. The new CEO seems to be allowing for better communication with the customer base (community). But beyond that Bungie keeps making the same mistakes in managing the game that they've always made. I HOPE its only because the new CEO hasn't had enough time to allow to a significant change in direction....and that it not that he agrees with the way this game is headed. In short, Bungie refuses to 1. Accept that Destiny is an MMO-RPG that also happesn to be a FPS. 2. Accept that you can't manage a MMO-RPG the same wy that you manage a typical FPS. 3. Accept that they have no experience in managing the kind of game they actually created...and either hirer people who do have it.....or reach out to companies (cough Blizzard cough) that have that experience and learn from them. Instead we watch Bungie slowly ruin the game by alienating its PVE players in pursuit of a PVP "balance" it will never attain because it trying to so in a way that is incompatible with the kind of weapon system they designed the game around. Yet they stubbornly press on doing the same thigns, even they they haven't worked in nearly 2 years of trying. So no, they aren't getting better. At least not in mission- critical ways.

I'm gonna say no until they realise all the dumb pvp updates are severely affecting pve.

No. They keep making a the mistakes over and over and flip flopping on their decisions. Year 2 events have been lame, half baked cosmetic only garbage. SRL was the best one but was boring after an hour on the same 2 tracks. They broke PVP With SBMM and lied to the community. The hard mode raid weapons were horribly executed. They reduced the end game to a single activity with triple RNG which made the grind way worse than year 1 (no year 1 content required grinding a single activity for over 6 months). Most year 2 weapons and exotics are generic crap compared to year 1. The story was improved (some is still weak) and the quest idea was a step in the right direction, but lacked any challenge and were mostly repetitive grinding.

Scans the data they get from PvP* There i fixed it for you, if they scanned data from the game, it would include PvE, but they don't do that.

They are accommodating the cry babies constantly calling for nerfs in pvp which directly impacts pve, so no they arnt improving they are just making this game more duller and duller with each shit update

"Improving" PvP while destroying PvE one update at a time.

How could they be improving when all they are doing is lying to you constantly, price gouging you with ridiculously priced microtransactions, and reskinning things and calling it new?

This winter was a close call. But things seem to be picking up again

Are you shitting me? Most of you kids probably hopped on Bungie with Destiny. Bungie went from 100 to 0 real quick. Stfu with your 'yes' little one year old account scrubs. Don't say Bungie, say Bungivision.

Said no one ever
