Destiny is an Experience Bungie is Selling - Why Don't People Get This?
Common complaints on the forum are:
1. Guns we earned have been nerfed!
2. People playing since Day One have paid more money!
3. Reissuing Y1 weapons at Y2 levels is just giving us something we already bought!
4. All playlists should be open to everyone!
5. Exotics shouldn't be time gated!
The common misunderstanding behind all of these complaints is that people don't realize that Bungie isn't selling you digital stuff (i.e. digital guns and armour and maps), they're selling you an experience. For example, I'm super jazzed about the MIDA coming back. People say "but they're just giving you back something you paid for that they took away". Yeah, that kinda true if you just focus on access to a digital gun. But that's not what you should focus on. What Bungie has given me by taking away the MIDA and giving it back is an experience. I was super bummed when MIDA didn't come into year 2 but it also made me go out and get a better scout - I'm pretty casual but I put in extra effort to get the Gemini prior to the first Iron Banner so that I had a good Y2 scout. I was super excited when I got it and it's been fun to use. Now the MIDA's coming back and I am legitimately, real world happy about that. See? The ebb and flow of weapon usefulness and availability is actually a fun thing to experience and that's what Bungie is selling.
Same for everything else above. If you focus on the made up digital stuff then you're going to be disappointed. But if you focus on the real world actual experience that Bungie is trying to provide then you'll be overjoyed.

LOL Best satire post I've read all day.

Ehhhhh

2 RepliesIt's fun using weapons whose usefulness ebbs and flow? You, sir, need to exit this game and keep your mouth shut. Nobody has fun using useless weapons
-
Very true...
-
I'm super psyched about the reskinned guns. Don't let other people try to take away your positivity just because they choose to live their life trying to find the worst in every situation:)
-
Well that's one way to look at it...

2 RepliesAnother desticle. Have fun trying to justify your purchase. It's impossible.

If you get excited about old weapons returning rather than something new, well good for you.

Nah, youre thinking of prostitutes. They sell "an experience". When i buy shit from bungie its physical and digital content. Tangible stuff. I get to keep that shit after i "experience it", i can keep replaying it. This existential "selling an experience" fanboy crap is no excuse for regurgitated content. Im boosted for mida and some new stuffs as well but its basically all been coded, written, planned out, drawn out and rolled out into the live game. Theres what, like 3 pieces of "new" armor? That we were promised would drop with ttk? So basically no new shit. Just a delayed release of what was supposed to come out in december.

So how much commission do you get per moron that believes this shit? You sound like a used car salesman, the only difference is at the end of the day, at least you can drive the car you get from them. Destiny is the equivalent of hitting your head against the wall, over and over again and being told that you are doing something productive *does some stupid as dance that I didn't pay for*.

The only experience people are getting is the one called a Video Lottery Machine. Fortunately Destiny gets away with it, because you know, Minors can't gamble

8 RepliesEdited by Thane: 11/28/2015 9:36:24 PM"Thats not what you should focus on" ...... Telling others what to focus on is ..... kind of arrogant. I mean you don't see me calling you a monkey for feeling "over hyped" when a company gives you shit that you already "experienced" as if thats an "event" or something. Taking/locking away content from the game and giving them back sure is an "experience" alright, a LAZY time/budget friendly experience. Here's another way to "focus" on this, what if the same people complaining are complaining about that exact same "experience" you're speaking off ?? Bizarre huh ??

This is why we can't have nice things
-
Lmao! A shitty experience
-
5 RepliesHahaa 1 character and no pvp. You may be a real nice person, but I can't take your opinion very seriously on this topic man. Sorry.
-
I agree. I like when they shake things up because then I can try out some new things. As great as fatebringer and voc were, I am soooo addicted to my hung jury now. I'm kind of looking forward to a new best in slot
-
It really doesn't matter, even if they brought all new weapons in, there would be mass amounts of people screaming that it isn't as good as a Y1 gun. No one will ever be happy
-
And this is why they still sell shit to us wrapped in a bow. Cuz you'll call it an experience... "Well you see the experience y1 was a shitty story so that when they launched a better one y2 we would have a better experience"- OP

Op is the perfect customer, willing to swallow anything if you stick a nice label on it. FTFY.

1 ReplyYou know, I'm still very much enjoying Destiny albeit it in smaller doses, but what you're describing is not in anyway a good thing. You kinda sound like a kidnap victim whose lost it and sees things being taken away and then given back as a treat. It sounds a little like you're grasping at straws trying to convince yourself you're still enjoying the game.

3 RepliesWhen I pay my hookers for an experience they don't take away the blow jobs and ask me to pay for em at the end.
