My friend, I'm being as forthcoming as I can when I say that nothing, [b]NOTHING[/b], will improve the morale in this place. Honestly, when I come to this forum I feel like I'm doomscrolling and I genuinely believe that the blame can't all be placed on the game. This is a sentiment that I've held for some time. More than a few people here seem incapable of feeling anything beyond disdain for Destiny, Bungie, or anyone else. It's troubling, but it also appears to be a societal issue that's spreading. Do I think dedicated servers for the game are a great idea? Absolutely, without question. Do I think it would improve the miasma this place has become? Not hardly.

J I absolutely cant stand what Bungie has become. i used to have so much hope but in the end its was all smoke and mirrors to make as much as they could investing as little as possible not giving a damn how frustrated the players have become They could have hired a team to rewrite the code for entire game 10x's over to give their extremely loyal players base the experience they have paid for and deserve. But the ones making the Big choices at bungie will never care about anything other than making a quick but with a hollow apology down the road.

You're placing the blame for everything on Bungie, whether it's only at the top or anywhere on down the chain. To an extent, this is completely justified; Bungie can carry much of the responsibility. However, what also needs to happen is the players [i]must[/i] accept their role in what Destiny has become. If the developers were left to [b]develop[/b] the game while the players [b]played[/b] it (right there in the titles, after all), perhaps things wouldn't be in the state they're in now. But no, content had to be released faster, but it also had to bigger and better than anything that came before it. That's not realistic. I won't get into the constant changes with nerfs/buffs, difficulty, and everything else. One of the things that people love to say is, "Bungie doesn't even play their own game!!!" But it's not really theirs anymore, is it? Maybe the best thing to do would be for them to churn out some sort of game-building sim or give players access to their developer kits (I think there's a proper name for that but I have no idea what it is) and tell players, "You think you can do better? Here's your chance, go nuts." How do you think that would turn out for everyone in the community? Personally, I think it would be a monumental failure and sh*t-show, given the fact that we can't agree on anything other than it's not what we want as it is now.

While I respect you and often see things in a similar way as you, I have to disagree on one point. The state of the game, good, bad or neutral is all on the company who makes and runs it. The players will always disagree on what the game should be or needs, along with giving opinions on it. At the end of the day, it’s still on the company to make the game. The company shouldn’t be listening to any players, they should be making the game they want. If it’s good, players will fallow. It’s their time, money, and resources, so they get to decide how they run their business, and therefore their game.

You can't give up trying... 😇👍💠 Still, you're probably correct. The players deserve dedicated servers, imo, now that it is possible.
