Deej, about last night...
Deej,
I'd like to take this moment to apologize to the Bungie Exec who was victimized in the SWATting incident. It was a cruel, selfish, stupid thing to do and whoever did it deserves much more punishment than they will likely receive. I absolutely hope you ban the perpetrator from your games for life.
It seems like Bungie has been the target of a great deal of flak and hate on the forums since Destiny dropped, and as community liaison you've definitely been at the center of a lot of it. That's unfortunate, and doubly unfair. We as a community of gamers tend to become so passionate about our experience that we allow ourselves to turn into entitled brats who abuse developers at every turn, forgetting how excited we were to play the game and how much fun we have doing so. It's a sad consequence of our instant gratification based culture. We forget that a game, much like movies or books, won't please everyone all the time. We also tend to discard the fact that we didn't do the years of work it took to make the game, and that we weren't there for the struggle of creating something new from nothing at all.
Once again, I apologize, Bungie. I'm sorry we've been so rough on you. I'm sorry we keep giving Deej a hard time. To the Exec this happened to, I apologize both to you and to your family for the distress this obviously must have caused.
And to whoever did it, f*** you, a**hole.
Edit: removed "on behalf of the community". Didn't realize that phrase would be a hot button issue for some people. I was just trying to do something nice on the forums, and I don't have much experience on here so I'm not sure what's taboo and what isn't. My bad.

This is why they nerfed weapon parts.

1 ReplyWait what happened? I can tell someone attacked some bungie employees for what, bad raid drops? That was a small joke representing how obsurd this community is. P S I am 13, jeez people some kids are mature(like me), blame the 8 year Olds or the adults who take the game waaaay too seriously.

I was expecting a 'get yourself checked' post. Disappointed now

To the Exec this happened to, I apologize both to you and to your family for the distress this obviously must have caused.[/quote] 1. Unless you are the perpetrator of the crime, you have NOTHING to apologize for. 2. You are not in a personal relationship with Bungie, you are a customer, they are a vendor. You give them money for a game that you then play. That's it... that's the extent of your relationship with them so there is, again, nothing to apologize or feel bad about if you aren't the one who committed the crime. Bungie is a company... the employees don't read these forums and go 'ohhh how sweet, this guy apologized to us all on behalf of everyone'. The employees, do their work, get their checks and go home... they don't give 2 sh*ts what anyone on here thinks or says. 3. This one is probably the most important point.... you do NOT speak for the community, only yourself and posts like this make you look like a giant brown-nosing fool. If that's the impression you are shooting for then mission accomplished.

1 ReplyIt's sad that some asshat pulls such a dangerous stunt and idiots on the forums see them as some kind of hero. There is nothing funny about this at all. I'm with the OP on this one.

Agreed 100%. And signing it on behalf of the community is entirely appropriate. -Signed: Every Member of the Destiny User Community (who aren't utter trash)

1 ReplyHoly shit the sheer amount of people who can't read astounds me. THE OP ISN'T SAYING HE'S A COMMUNITY LIAISON, HE'S ADDRESSING DEEJ.

Well said OP. I dunno if it was a disgruntled employee or not, but im sick of entitled children ruining games. I actually LIKE destiny, and it does have flaws like any other game, but its the rabid, unreasonable , tantrum throwing fanbase that is eating this game inside out. I just want to come home from work and shoot aliens in the face, and not worry that my favorite gun got a huge nerf because whiny bitches dont like it.

Thank you OP for bringing this incident to the community's attention and totally agreed with your sentiment. If I knew the jackass who pulled this prank I would surely strike him/her with something heavy and blunt! While there surely may be some justified angst for the product bungie delivered, taking this type of action and against individual employees is beyond inappropriate. This was the em equivalent of bringing a nuke to deal with the middle school bully on the playground after school! Unbe-freakin-leivable.

12 RepliesLike you said. Lots of hate since destiny dropped. Whoever did it obviously doesn't agree with what destiny has become. Can't blame them. All the disconnect issues and broken promises. Someone was gonna snap.

Edited by Strand the Man: 11/10/2014 2:14:29 PMDear OP, I understand that what you are doing and saying has good intentions. However, I must remind you and others here that there is actually a small chance that the swatting that occurred was from a customer/gamer. Although swatting is something that has been tied to gamers playing pranks on others over online play, this targeted prank was probably more likely caused by a disgruntled employee or someone personally close to the Bungie employee. Of course, anything is possible, but to jump into an apology on behalf of a community that has no need to apologize is rather silly...unless of course the perpetrator is caught and he/she says they did the act on behalf of Destiny players.
