I'm sorry, Bungie knew this was going to happen weeks before they announced it. 2GBs of this update was installed on our consoles weeks ago. They waited 5 days before launch to say "oh yeah, we're making significant changes to the rules". I have a very hard time believing they didn't know what they were doing. Who wouldn't understand why gamers would be upset? It's so obvious. Ultimately, they were not happy with how SUCCESSFUL YOU moved through the game. They can't say that because that sounds terrible, so they work around it which is what this is. These actions only adversely impact legacy players...not the new ones. If it impacted both I might concede their actions weren't targeted at legacy players. They don't like how many exotics you have and how quickly you got them. Making an announcement with only 5 days allows them to conveniently say "Oh we didn't realize you'd be that angry....it's a bit late....oh well, try it though to see if you like it". It's strategy. Their PR release yesterday only confirms their actions. If they really did care about what we would have thought, they would have asked you first when there was still time to balance their vision with your thoughts and feelings. If they're always listening, why are they not ASKING? To be clear...it's their game...their property and I'm just a guy playing on their server. They can do what they want. But you can't have your cake and eat it too. You can't say we listen and care what you have to say but then not ask questions when you're about to change a huge element within the game.
