I just don't get it. We all know the problems that Destiny has had since launch. We all have seen Bungie mishandle and bungle way too many game decisions.
-Criticism is not bad.
-Holding Bungie to higher standards than other game companies because of their history is not unreasonable.
But at some point there's a line when it stops being about trying to better the game and complaining just to complain.
I was reading Google News and a GI article popped up saying Sparrow Racing announced as a special limited-time December event and I hopped over to the forums expecting to find celebratory posts...
And instead there are people crapping all over it.

First of all, Sparrow Racing was probably the first requested add-on when the beta dropped. Beyond that, how many thousands of posts ask for other special events besides IB to participate in?
Last month we had the Festival of the Lost. This month Sparrow Racing. Are they fixing all that still ails the game? No, but they're not making it worse either.
For all the pissing and moaning about lack of content, the fact that people just want to crap on it when they get it just makes you wonder if there's anything that would make them happy.
If you hate the game that much, I'm sorry. But it doesn't mean you have to take your hatred into every post that shows excitement about new content.
Edit: For all the complaints about it being a limited time event, couple things.
1) it is most likely a test run to work out all the kinks.
If it's successful and smooth it could very well become a regular mode.
2) it could be great as a monthly week long event like IB going forward.
I've felt for a long time there should be a weekly event every week alternating PvP/PvE. This could be one such.

No more giving Bungie credit for putting back into the game that which was supposed to be part of the original product. Should I applaud them for allowing certain exotics from year one to be viable again, too? Maybe they should get a gold star for essentially adding a feature that was obviously part of the games original design, as evidence by the speed and handling perks of sparrows since day one, which were absolutely redundant until this 'announcement'. How about instead of becoming one of the endless posters telling people your opinion on their opinion, you just accept the fact that this is the death throes of Destiny. Sparrow racing is a poor distraction from the real issues with this game and instead of chastising those that point that out, admit your afraid that this game's nearly done and as a consequence, so are you. I'm just a filthy casual but even I can see the writing on the wall. Sparrow racing ain't bringing anyone back to the game and it certainly isn't an incentive for anyone new to try it. So what's the point? The point seems to be that they're out of ideas and this (and emotes for sale and Halloween masks) are just a pathetic attempt to distract the current players that are left, from the fact that this place is becoming a ghost town. Soon only the hard cores and fan boys, unable to face the reality of the fact that all good thing must come to an end, will be on these forums and playing the game. Trying unsuccessfully to convince themselves and anyone else who'slistening (reading) that Destiny is just fine and that they didn't actually -blam!- it up since day one. I read that somewhere once...
