[u][b]EXERPT FROM TOP RATED REPLY :[/b] [/u] O.P. Here Well, you gone done it. Your sub-post has more likes than my Original Post. Not by much, but I will acknowledge you. You make some really good points. A few of them I really agree with, on the contrary. You talked about me being "adversarial" ; that is quite true. But I have little choice. There are some things that happen in this game, that are "negative" that are all Bungie's fault. There is no denying it. And they get away with it. Other things, I can admit; are far more personal. On the level, of the player, specifically. Such as Three of Coins. And Black Spindle. The Year 1 Lockout is not one such thing. I feel hypocritical to go "all-guns-blazing" on only select topics. Three of Coins has already been nerfed. I assume Black Spindle is next week. My out-cry has gotten me, and my supporters no where. But at least we screamed at our loudest. No regrets there. While I could represent myself more clear, as I am now, in original posts, not everyone understand that way. Many are ignorant of these forums. Some on the forums have no voice. Being passionate, blunt, and directly confrontational brings those ignorant and voiceless together. They are probably the ones most affected. It's not the best way to handle things, but at least we are heard. We are not ignored. That is what is counted. I just wish the end result was more favorable. Lost Sols and Company are heavily regarded people from FEEDBACK. They chat openly with Cosmo and other Bungie Employees from the support base they garner. More than once they have been temp-banned for this, as they are very persuasive, and like me, do NOT give up. As for being spoiled, or elitist; I must fully disagree. While my grimoire score is almost 4600, and I already have Touch of Malice ... I am not an elitist. However, I love the game. Every part of it. EXCEPT for times I feel I've been 'had' or 'cheated.' I have felt as such lately, and my only recourse aside from 'just taking it' ; is lifting my voice. I am not the best player, but I try very hard to earn everything I have in this game. I am passionate, I don't give up, and I keep going. It isn't superiority or gains that drive me. I just want Bungie to know, that they can't please everyone. What they change to affect one side, will always leave the other in the same position. When they cater to those who will be negatively affected by things such as Three of Coins and Spindle... They equally disappoint the others, such as myself, who are already on the level they are taking away. However, I agree with a lot of your points. I can only hope my response to you is just as supported. I did, after all, take a lot of time to reply back to you. I felt it only appropriate, as you indulged so much of your own time to me. ~Mouse [u][b]FINAL RESPONSE TO THREAD IN GENERAL :[/b] [/u] I feel this post has served its purpose. Silvermoon has responded to me quite well, and even has a little more support than my original post. Go figure lol. Bad day for me. However, I spent a lot of time replying back to him, also. I'd like to at least be given a chance to defend my words. So I'd ask that you all click his "replies" and read the one that I gave to him. It best sums up the finality of this post. For those who are new : I, and a great many others, feel dissatisfied with the overall choices Bungie has been making. Specifically the Year 1 Lockout, Three of Coins, and Black Spindle. But I feel the argument is concluded. Silvermoon's reply, and my subsequent reply to him, end this discussion. I appreciate everyone's time, and the thousands of votes and hundreds of replies given to this thread. Cheers, comrades. After all, even if I'm a hot-headed renegade, I'm only here because of you guys. ~Mouse
