Murdered their playerbase? Destroyed "our" will to play?? Me and my clan mates for example are still playing every day, stop generalizing everything.

At least there is no FEAR OF MISSING OUT this season. There is nothing to do.

So you're not enjoying Season of the Hardlight while grinding for millions of Warmind bits 2 at a time? You don't enjoy throwing glowing balls at things in an event for the hundredth time? But we have given you more ugly ass sparrows and ships that serve no purpose, more ugly re-skins and old Iron Banner armor. You don't like the IB Bow, that is utterly worthless next to already existing bows? You don't enjoy Trials of the Hardlight? Our new, old game mode where you compete to see who will be the first to walk down hallways full of ricochet round laser beams while being assaulted by sweat lords and twitch streamers in our super excellent match making system? What about all the amazing content we provide in Eververse? (for you to buy at inflated costs to line our grubby little pockets with while ignoring all the glaringly obvious community complains with the game). What do you mean you don't enjoy running the same bounties and bunker missions every day, day after day, after day, after day to grind your "artifact" which server no purpose other than to make you feel powerful in increasingly difficult rehashes of existing events. What do you mean you don't enjoy having weapons and armor taken away from you when we break them by releasing questionably QA'd code into our software? But look at all the time we spent on stuff you can buy in Eververse, for real money, since we took away most of your ability to farm bright dust in an effort to push you into micro-transactions and restricted the content available for dust. Honestly I wish Bungie would just admit they are sick of this game and want to move on. I would appreciate the honesty more than anything else. Sometimes it seems like they left Activision because they wanted them to produce quality content that they could actually sell to the existing fan base and draw new customers in with and Bungo just wanted to move on to new projects.

Didn’t play all week till I heard about the double loot nightfall, honestly some of the best destiny grinding I’ve had in a year or two. No bounties, not worrying about a score. Just effort for reward.

You know it's funny back in D1 people always use to say other game releases were going kill destiny but the trolls were like no way, only bungie can kill destiny (as in it'll never happen). Now look at where we are now lol

What a time for the only game I really play to be at it’s shittest ever.

The game has broken my heart. Sell it back to blizzard because since Bungie has gone independent every week has been worse and worse and has seemed lazier and lazier. It’s like Bungie married destiny and the player base and once the vows were said stopped putting in effort. Bungie to me now looks like an abusive fat alcoholic 40 year old husband that you remember good times with so you don’t leave but you get -blam!-ed and beaten by everyday... not to mention they cheat and you know but it looks like nothing is going to change except our excuses for them and them asking us to continue making those excuse.

The issue is that it has [i]always[/i] been Bungie.... it has just taken the removal of all the other scapegoats for people to finally see it. My wife and I have always laid the blame for Destiny's faults squarely at Bungie's feet. Nice to see others finally catching up lol

And where is Bungie when a post like this gains traction? Nowhere to be seen. They don't even issue an apology since they know what they are doing is wrong and they just don't care. They already took our money and gave the content out for free after we paid hundreds. Why would they spend more money to make a better game when people are just fine doing nothing but grinding bounties over and over until they die, do an occasional raid once a week, maybe grind nightfalls, etc. People are too blind to step back and look at everything there is now and then everything there was to do Pre Shadowkeep. Or they are new players that are happy with all the content there is to do for free since they haven't been playing since day 1. All of it is new to them so they won't mind much of anything or see anything wrong.

I just hope they've been working with a skeleton crew for D2 and are putting work into a D3 game. If not, I might not continue with this.

Community missed the point - Destiny is a psych experiment.

Quit at D2 the dawning.. every time I come and read I am super happy I didn't continue. Loved D1 Hate D2

[quote]There is nowhere else to place the blame, not Activision, not on the streamers, and not on the so called toxic player base. This is all Bungie. They have lied over and over again while reaching deeper in our pockets. They have said they were listening but failed to act. They have said they have a vision for a longstanding evolving game but have failed to produce the most basic building blocks for this to happen. They have consistently proven that they cannot deliver on their promises. They have taken something special and amazing and step by step, error after error, destroyed it. Bungie has taken a die hard player base and killed our will to play this game. Trials- Bungie took a year and a half off to fix this great end game pvp activity. It is now in a worse state than it ever was. There is a lack of reward incentive for both novice and expert level players along with rampant cheating that is quickly killing this activity. HOW DARE Bungie put the responsibility for catching cheaters back onto the player base, it is THEIR RESPONSIBILITY to catch and ban cheaters as quickly as possible. Free to play, great idea from the Bungie brain trust PVE- what content? Complete your bounties again and again and again.... The player base will keep dwindling. BUNGIE has killed this game, nobody else. They are fully responsible and have not only been inept at moving the game forward but also at doing the most basic work to keep the game functioning properly. Bungie should be ashamed, not only for failing to deliver on quality content and mistreating players through their cash grab philosophy, but for ruining one of the best games ever made. YOU Bungie, have killed this game and the player base and have murdered Something wonderful.[/quote] GiT GuD

The game is still pulling over a million pve players per day, and 1.22 million players overall. Its just that you have burned out veteran players who want to rage at Bungie rather than simply take a break....and you have people who just don't like the direction the game is evolving in, and want to believe that their personal discontent speaks for a general discontent. That the player numbers just don't support.

okay how about you go to their HQ and fix all the bugs, balances, and firewalls. You know how to code?
