Genuine post but I am sorry I do not lay the blame on the playerbase, yes they are dumb, they are selfish, greedy, arrogant and unfair towards what they get, total hypocrites sometimes. However criticise the player base all you want, Bungie are the ones with the control who overhyped the hell out of a contentless product and lied through their teeth to get more money out of us. Yes we complain a lot but we have the right to, even more so as were the ones paying them, giving them all our money to play a game they promised us which I can tell you by the way, they are still yet to deliver on, they cut up $/£40 worth of content up into over $/£120 worth in 15 months. They false advertised us a product and continuously lied to us throughout the year, stating they are listening, well they clearly are not, its been bad decision after bad decision because they simply are not listening. Sorry but no I lay the problem firmly in Bungie's hands. They are constantly fed the answers and told how to make the game better, we, us the community telling a games developer how to do their own job, yet we are the ones told were the problem? Do not agree. Edit: I understand the post, its a good post because it is actually correct, but its also incorrect... its difficult to put your finger on it, look at it from both sides of the story and I guess both the community and Bungie are too blame, but Bungie were the ones who initiated it all, they broke something that was brilliant, advertised the brilliance and sold us the broken. So from that point of view, I blame Bungie, but the community doesn't help the situation, ultimately though its a situation Bungie put themselves in.

The fact that this thread hasn't been downvoted to oblivion explains why Bungie will never be held accountable for anything. People with the OP's mindset are legitimately embarrassing; a bunch of half-retarded gamer cuckolds. The jaws of life couldn't even pry Bungie's balls from your throats.

Destiny will die, and Bungie will wonder why. Simply put, Year One Exotics were left behind. Big mistake. Year Two Exotics are crap in comparison. The Taken King is not for the Casual Gamer, why, because the taken are so ridiculously over powered, it takes longer to get through the content now, time spent getting from A to B is not worth the rewards. The time spent doing this is not completely the problem, but the way the -blam!-ers teleport all over the place, the way they hold each others hands protecting each other and that splitting thing they do. Can an enemy be any more annoying. Did I mention over powered... A lot has been asked for and a lot has been ignored, the gunsmith is still useless, although he is a little better than before. Legendary Marks you have to work harder for, because of how you earn them, no more Tiger Strikes. I prefer the 100 Marks per week limit, and how you earn them is your choice, at the moment the choice to earn them is given, and for some one like me, it takes too long, or I just simply give up on the whole thing. My Guardians are not levelling up, because I just simply do not have the time to waste on the bullshit Strike list.

Community: nerf thorn and last word Bungie: LETS NERF ALL AND CANNONS TO SHIT Community:.... Bungie: FESTIVAL OF THE LOST A NEW WAY FOR YOU TO GIVE US MONEY Community: we want year one strikes Bungie: HAVE SPARROW RACING FOR THREE WEEKS WITH USELESS ARMOR YOU CAN BUY FOR MORE MONEY Community: *runs around trying to find NTTE and SS* Bungie: YEA GUESS WHAT MOTHER FU[b]CKERS[/b] WE TIME GATED THAT SHIT ALONG WITH HALF THE EXOTIC ARMOR PIECES AAANND MADE YEAR ONE EXOTICS USELESS SO WE COULD SLOW DRIP CONTENT TO EXTEND TTKS LIFE WOO Community: ban hackers Bungie: NO WE WILL BAN YOU FOR POSTING THEIR NAMES THOUGH Community: the weapon parts nerf was uneeded Bungie: STOP BITCHING WE STILL HAVE 1656 PARTS LEFT CAUSE WE DONT PLAY THE GAME this works both ways.

The trick to enjoying destiny is to stop looking at it as a 60 dollar, halo 5/black ops competitor; and look at it as an MMO like DC universe. Understand that there will always be micro transactions from now on, and there will always be free content as well. You also need to be comfortable with the fact that people who buy content will look more unique Than those who only use free content.

ROFLMAO Do you think Bungie created a Haloween event because 0.000000001% of their customers asked for it?

No, the game is a pile of overpriced half assed garbage. It is that simple.

Yes, it's the player base's fault that bungie decided to make all year 1 content completely irrelevant. Seriously, I love this game, but that is the one thing I can't get over.

The community is a bit at fault for sure, however it's 99% Bungie's fault. Since TTK we've spent $40-$80 for an incomplete mess of an 'expansion', and Bungie is still timegating content and year one exotics that they should've brought forwards from the start rather than tease us with them for months. I paid for this bullcrap mess and I'd like to at least access the content when I want to, not it be locked behind a switch when Bungie feels like flipping it on. Now the Halloween event: Sure it was fun, but overall just a PR scheme to get us to spend our money on emotes and the blue skull mask. Sure we could pray to RNGesus and maybe get the skull mask in a package from Eva Lavante for farming enemies, but we all know RNG in this game sucks donkey balls. So why not spend some cash for the Michael Jackson dance, why not spend here for the scare emote, why not spend for crap emotes and the skull mask ey? That was mini Ponzi scheme +1. Now over to this sparrow event: It looks cool, but yet again the majority of the good stuff looks like it'll be locked behind a paywall. Want those emotes? Spend a few bucks here. Want a bike other than the standard quest bike? Spend a few bucks there. Perhaps these shaders to look different? Spend some more bucks here. Plus knowing that there are only two race tracks available to race on means people will get bored pretty fast. And the notion that the gear has an RNG chance to be from 280-320 light is also stupid. Sparrow racing is something that the community has wanted since Alpha testing, and the fact that Bungie only now comes up with it along with the new microtransaction only shows they're desperate to make some $$$ because their player base is dwindling, and we aren't spending enough on their crap projects. What is also concerning about this event is that Bungie is focusing on this rather than working on issues that really shoulda been fixed that have been going on since beta days. And the fact that Deej wasted his time going to PSX to announce sparrow racing is also concerning, he coulda sat on the couch and wrote it in a weekly fluffdate and saved some time and money. Anyway to the thread poster, you may think the community is the main problem, but your dead wrong. Bungie turned this community into what it is because of their reactive inaction and incompetency to care for their game and player base. Do you see Deej actually managing the community? No. Do you see other Bungie forum lurkers actively posting in the forums? No again. Do you see Cozmo going beyond copy 'n paste response to forums posts? Not much no. Also have glaring issues from beta days been seen to or at least acknowledged that they're there and that they are working on resolving them? No yet again, they instead pull all their focus into temporary racing, and no doubt more issues will be created because of this, and Bungie will no doubt just let them stay and blame us for their problems.

People are taking this video game way too damn seriously. Good God.
