For those who haven't read it yet, in an interview with FPS news, Project Lead Scott Taylor admitted to the juggler mechanic in Destiny 2.
What is "Juggler": The juggler mechanic basically has the goal, to make you use all of your weapons equally. So when you kill with a kinetic gun, you will most likely drop energy ammo, and vice versa.

Bungie basically had to talk about it now, to dispel the concerns about ammo scarcity with the upcoming weapon slot changes. Of course no details are given, it just wouldn't be Bungie without a scoop of useless secrecy on top - but my concern is not about the mechanic itself anyway.
What bothers me, and what also keeps me from spending money on your products again, is your complete lack of transparency and honesty, unless you want to sell us something.
What kept you guys from just explaining the mechanic shortly after launch, when players realized it's still a thing in Destiny 2? Not that this is or was the biggest issue with your game, but for 9 months people were discussing this, or even went to the lengths of testing it, writing down their results in spreadsheets.
You could have saved those people hours of wasted time, if you were just upfront and honest about your game for once. Yet, you weren't.
This detail clearly shows me what is wrong with your company, the complete lack of transparency on your end. Sure, you are disgruntled about your community, because they're so "ungrateful", or they're "jerks", but did you ever wonder why that is?
It's YOUR behavior that breeds this kind of community. If you don't respect your customers enough to be honest with them, it should be no surprise that they also won't respect you anymore at some point.

34 RepliesWow, the attitude of most of these replies. YES, a lot of us as players basically knew that juggler was an intrinsic mechanic to all gameplay in D2. NO, that is not the problem. The problem is the lack of transparency about this mechanic, which is arguably a big enough change from D1 that it should be something that is made explicitly clear to the player instead of being implicit through gameplay. The lack of transparency and thought for the player is what this post is getting at, and the admittance of the existence of juggler is simply the example being used of how Bungie isn’t transparent. OP could just as easily made the same point by talking about the XP throttling that happened months back, and just because players noticed it was talking a lot longer to fill their XP bar without Bungie telling them (i.e. in the same was as noticing juggler without being told) didn’t invalidate the fact that it shows a clear disregard for the customer and a lack of transparency from Bungie.
