In case you don’t know about it, many of the forum knights and fanboys are actually fake employee accounts at Bungie trying to shape the only two places Bungie can advertise on: - their forums - reddit. It’s the same for both, the PR agents come out with a post, and then they probably spend their time logging into fake accounts to BS support it. I understand it’s hard for millennials to move away from the propaganda they are exposed to online. But it is pure brainwashing supported by zero facts. You can find thousands of people who support racism and sex segregation, humiliation and the like, it doesn’t make them right. But, it is proven in psychology that enough exposition to the same set of thoughts or positions will make anyone believe that crap. Bungie can’t deliver content, so they work their way around shaping the forums. Fact remains, fewer and fewer people actually play this game despite it being free and available on many more platforms.

That's called The Bungie Defense force. They defend Bungie over every decision, even when it contradicts themselves/Bungie. The worst ones are the forum ninja.s They perform some major high level mental gymnastics.

Don't care about the rest of the post, just going to get that out of the way. "Bungie nerfs. You defend it" Please provide 5 examples of games that never nerf anything and instead only buff. Nerfing is the quickest, easiest way to balance things and avoid power creep. People get mad at nerfing because they think that buffing everything else up to the level of something that's broken will make everything better but they don't think "hm, actually it'll feel the same as it would if they nerfed it." Let's say average damage for weapons are 100 damage per shot in a game and a broken weapon deals 170 damage per shot. Our two options are to: Buff every other weapon to deal 170 damage per shot and raise TTK across the board and have to completely rebalance PvE enemy health. Or nerf the one broken weapon down to 100 damage per shot and not have to change anything else. If you buff everything else up to 170 damage per shot, now the broken weapon is the same as every other weapon in the game, nerf the one weapon and now it's the same as every other weapon in the game. Of course there are other ways to balance things that aren't just tuning damage but I don't feel like typing a novel. People cry at the word, not the actual balancing.

If you don’t like it then leave. Freak trying to gaslight a community because YOU don’t like something. Looking for problems? Go look in the mirror.

All I see on these forums is people complaining regardless of what Bungie does. They could do exactly what you want and you’ll still find something to cry about.

Take this to REDDIT where this is actually a thing.

Bungie: artefact enabled for trials Fanboys: great idea. Don’t listen to the crybabies on this forum. Bungie: removing the artefact level in trials. Fanboys: great idea. Example of bungie Listening to the community.

Says the person forum lurking on a game they hate and don't play. Stones and glass houses eh?

It’s almost like some people can understand some of the changes Bungie has to make. Because some people who argue about nerfs not being needed can look just as stupid as the moron saying that the Bright Dust economy is fine.

Some people just are okay with accepting anything and everything. These are the same people at 45 years old working at McDonald's. Want more work harder, bungies motto is get the most for the Least

Luke smith is great

It's pretty hilarious and sad and pathetic when you go into your collections/equipment and look at the loot for the different seasons and how you get it. Season 1 is kind of small but it's all stuff you earned from playing the game. Season 2-6 all have tons of stuff to get and again like 95% of it was all earned just by playing the game and getting it as random world drops or rewards from activities or leveling up. Then you get to season 7 which I think that was season of opulence ( this is where the game started going to utter shit) which was when Bungie decided to mess with everything. They did away with almost all loot, got super lazy and made it so we could only get old loot. Season 8 almost nothing new to earn just more old stuff again. Then season 9, all eververse. And I bet a big chunk of players still think activision was the problem. Lol.
