Discrimination Against "Poor" Internet Users... Code-Name: Damage Referee

This has got to be one of the most baleful lines ever spoken from you Bungie! [quote]Paul: If your connection is bad, we'll be giving you even more reasons to improve it.[/quote] Do you honestly think I can tell my router to go faster? Perhaps start my own internet service that's fiber inducing? Or go talk to the big companies and ask very nicely if they could help in my plight? Unfortunately there are many of us gamers who aren't as privileged compared to those with optimal connections and there is little to no chance we can really do anything about it and now you're threatening us?! As a person who has "lesser" internet I can honestly say that whenever I've had a red bar, or even green a green bar, I've never felt like I had the advantage; in fact, the clear opposite happens to me. I get shot through corners, witnessed teleporting sparrows during SRL, you get the picture - it's frustrating! I understand that something needs to be done to those who purposely tamper with their connections, but to punish those who are trying to play legit is wrong; you're literally pulling an Ebenezer and it's so baffling. If you're that inclined to only want people who have privileged internet then you should have only sold the game to those people because apparently my money isn't good enough for you. Believe me when I say I would LOVE to have the most up to date internet, but with the way service provider companies currently are, it will never happen because they're not going to go out of their way to help little me who wants to play games online or whatever. So, if you want your paying customers to be able to play your game without connection headaches then you need not to tell us about how bad our internet is, but to the companies who are holding your people back. EDIT: "Poor" internet means not that great internet service - not money!

        Considering I've been seeing multiple articles over the last few months about how US communications companies (and to an extent the UK) are against any other company providing fast affordable internet cause it will "affect their share price", are not interested in upgrading and maintaining the infrastructure and they want to dominate and expect people to pay a premium for what is becoming a required service, this is just arrogance from Bungie. Instead of telling people "get better internet" how about you implement better matchmaking focusing on regions over skill and have dedicated game servers. If a group of guys can make a multiplayer mod for Euro Truck Simulator that runs on dedicated servers and is free, how come Bungie can't with all the money that has to be forked over for the game.

        • Amen. I live in the middle of the English countryside and I have the best possible internet for my area. But because of where I am, the connection is still terrible. Are we just supposed to step aside and not play the game we love? No way, I'm gonna carry on playing despite my bad internet.

            • Every other big pvp game has a system that boots you back to the multiplayer menu when your connection becomes unstable, so with destiny you're lucky to get to play at all.

              Bump ! & So after this decision Bungie has made against bad connection, I hope Destiny crashes & burns & Bungie ends up getting sued & losing* all the money they sucked out from this games micro's & end up in square -1 like how they did before vanilla launch with the worse plot to a game ever .

                Well here's the thing if you have a shitty connection and you know it destiny probably isn't for you especially if you can't afford better!

              • If your connection is crap, then you should be at a disadvantage, not have an advantage. People choke their connection on purpose to leverage this flaw.

                  • Bungie don't seem to give a sheet outside of the US. I have the best connection money can buy here in the Uk but it doesn't count for anything when their matchmaking is consistently matching me with people in the UAE. They need to sort their matchmaking system out and stop blaming people's connectivity to the game

                  • It's not discrimination. You are playing a connection based game. Your connection is now a priority. Destiny doesn't even utilize a lot of bandwidth. 2d0.3u is enough.

                  • Its not even about being "poor". The best connection quality within my country, Australia, which does cost a significant monthly budget, still has to travel internationally through the potato quality Activision servers and still gives me a red bar connection and terrible lag behaviours. They have made it pretty clear that they are content with a US only audience. And that's just fine by me too.
