Bungie has made it clear they will consistently capitulate to the loud crowd of people, however large or small they may actually be, who can't stomach the challenges and idiosyncrasies of a loot based game. To the 1% who worked their asses off before the youtube videos and pushing glitches, I applaud your efforts even if Bungie no longer will. Up to this point Destiny has been an amazing game. Clearly we as players have elected towards an egalitarian system where those who work to excel will get penalized, and those who can't will reap the benefits of crying as loud and constantly as possible. In the end its just a game, but I think this speaks loudly about the future of gaming and more generally the attitudes of players (which I have no doubt carries over into their everyday lives). I can only hope that this change in trajectory will curtail the endless parades of complaints and rants. Take your victory humbly 99%, and I wish you all the best for your future attitude towards the hard truths and challenges of an unfair world. (Percents are not to scale guys. As most people have pointed out its more likely a loud minority) [u]In retrospect[/u] I was pretty salty when I wrote this. Must have been wiping my tears away with the dictionary. Yes, I should have expected this. I guess i'm a purist and a dreamer who preferred the game unadulterated. Hoped it would stay unique; i'm sure it might in some ways. Oh well. That's not the point. I'd encourage people to bring issues to forum in a different light. Let's change our tone so that when these issues arise in the future we might get a proportional response. If Bungie's listening to us, let's start giving them something worth listening to. [u]Addendums[/u] As to the 1%: there is [b]nothing[/b] elitist about determination to overcome a challenge. It's simply a [b]choice[/b] you make. I firmly believe everyone could have persevered if they chose to. I'm just applauding the people who made that choice and questioning whether we as a community feel our standard reaction should be penalizing them due to an overwhelmingly negative responses and unwillingness to keep trying or adapting to adversity. [u]For the people who had trouble[/u] understanding my post and choose to insult me and my writing instead of thinking about it. All you had to do was talk to me or ask nicely. My points were about broad issues; the writing was not meant to be explicit. My word choices were perfectly suited to convey my meaning. I didn't realize that good diction would be frowned upon. Here's some bullet points for your convenience! Bungie will give in to a loud minority. I applaud the efforts of guardians who were willing to step up the challenges of Destiny instead of exploiting or avoiding them. The negative attitudes of people unwilling to adapt to the game will carry over into their lives. These same attitudes will continue to influence Destiny and the future of gaming. If we are going to choose to have developers change the entire game instead of adapting, Its worth thinking about and discussing so the next response can be proportional. Hope that helps, let me know if you'd actually like to discuss any of these points instead of throwing easy insults around.
