Yet another week after the "ban hammer " is used and the lag and DDOS is back. For a developer that wants a game to last "10 years" they failed to understand that with a competitive play comes a responsibility to monitor and maintain it at a level that doesn't chase away their few remaining players. With the hopes of many of their player based dashed with the piss-poor expansion of Rise of Iron players are turning to the last vestige of positive gameplay (outside the raid). Many of these players can't even compete due to the Game Masters and support failing to maintain a positive atmosphere. Changes to weaponry will always be a thing that any game dealing with online play will have to deal with. So I can live with poor weapon balancing. However I cannot deal with matches where I melee the same person 4 times and they still get the kill before they die. Bungie has already removed many posts specifically "calling players out" with video evidence linked to the event in which the thread was created. Something about "against policy". Well it should be against your policy to allow cheating. If you support for the game did their job more then once a year (ban hammer) and maintained a solid influx of punishment you would. It see such steep declines in player populace. It also goes to show that if you did your job properly that players would be less inclined to posts the callouts on the forums because they would see the changes take effect. Seeing a "weekly report" that basically was the devs whining that the players were using their forums for these so called callouts is inexcusable for a company running such a "10 year game". Some other things that might alleviate these so called "bothersome" forum abuses that your community is doing is to have an actual forum presence beyond some recognition in the weekly posts once a month. (The following is about rise of iron) I am getting tired of all the "crap" going on in the game. An I personally am entirely upset at the little amount of little gameplay we are getting. Rise of Iron was a 30$ expac that had half the story of the house of wolves and less to do. They did finally create a proper raid. I will give them that one prop in this entire posts. It's also upsetting at how so much of the event has gone to pay to participate. I get that if you want to have a few items that players pay for. Emotes and the like are great but the random masks of one a character a year makes it to you either delete a toon and level again for another chance at even that basics of the event.... MASKS. It makes the candy bags 100% useless especially given the decent amount of work you put into each one. TL;DR Bungie owes their community a lot more then piss-poor effort they are giving since the release of the game.
