Bungie, please stop trying to manipulate players. And for the love of Randal, stop using lame excuses for it. Meaningful? As in, worth the time and effort expended? This is a video game. A looter-shooter. But the loot is mostly meh, and the guns usually run out of ammo. When you force people to play a certain way, slowed to a snail's pace by throttling drop rates and inflating the hell out of upgrade costs, it's bad enough. When you use the (extremely lame) excuse of "meaningful choice" you seem to be trying to teach people some moral lesson in "delayed gratification" or something equally silly. This is a video game. A space fantasy video game. Emphasis on GAME and FANTASY. Stop trying to manipulate your players. We just want to play the game and have fun. We don't enjoy being slowed to a crawl, just so you can keep us playing longer. If you make the game fun, we will want to play it. If you take the fun out of the game, we don't want to play. If you want people to have high login statistics, make the game fun again. And please stop with the lame excuses for the slow progression and the insane economics. Your players are not fooled.
