I understand that people are frustrated that there's a grind and a seasonal cap involved with the armor synthesis process, I think that's reasonable frustration that could/should result in some tuning of the process on Bungie's end. But honestly, I can't grasp the reasoning behind the fury and vitriol I'm reading about the armor synthesis process. What did people really expect was going to happen? People are losing sight of the fact that Bungie, like all game developers, is a business designed to make a profit. They're not a philanthropic organization working towards gaming nirvana for all, they're a profit-motivated corporation. That's an inescapable fact about the gaming industry in general. A basic understanding of economic principles like supply and demand should have made it obvious how this system was going to be designed. We were told at the beginning that armor synthesis was going to have a paid option as well as ways to earn synthesis in game. The very moment I read that, it was clear that this was the type of system that we'd see. It incentives consumers who are willing to pay instead of dealing with the grind. It's not unfair, it's not a scam, it's basic economics. If you want to be frustrated, fine. If you want to come to these forums and whine about it to your heart's content, also fine, that's your right. But stop acting like a crime was committed or you've somehow been cheated, because that's not what happened here.
