My post about this on Reddit got deleted, hopefully you all here can help me out.

My name's Riley and I'm a college student that also loves Destiny, and I'm also studying to go into game design. I'm currently working on a research paper related to gaming and I want to case study the online Destiny community. My research involves analyzing the tone and rhetoric of communication between players and developers in online settings, like Reddit and forums. Yes, this is research for a composition course. It's not very flashy, but I'm passionate about the research. I've attached my full project proposal document if you'd like more information on the study itself. I originally posted this on the r/DTG but the post got deleted, so now I'm here. I'll be uploading a survey for the community at large at a later date, but right now I really need all of you awesome people's help with reaching out to Bungie themselves. I really would like to be able to conduct an interview with someone on our great community team. This will really help me out with my research because I personally only have the perspective of a player, and I really want to be able to include the perspective of what developers/community managers feel when sifting through all of our posts here on the forums, subreddit, or on Twitter or wherever else. I have some other work that I would have to complete before actually conducting the interview (getting the questions approved by my professor, getting an informed consent form signed, etc.), but I wanted to get this post up sooner rather than later since I don't know how long it would take to get a response. Quick little note here that I'm not allowed to share the questions prior to approval by my professor, otherwise I would. My end goal for this research is to help gamers and developers have a more healthy discourse online. Sometimes we get frustrated with them, and I'd imagine that they definitely get frustrated with us at times. I want my research to help bridge this gap and create a healthier environment online for all of us. This research is meant to help the gaming community as a whole, so I would really appreciate it if you guys could help me out with this. If this does somehow reach any of the community managers at Bungie, please reach out to me either on this post or in DMs on Twitter (@BasedOnImpulse). Thank you for reading, and hopefully, I'll have some good research to share with you all soon :) Here's the proposal document for more information: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CeCOCLsRQm_vgeFXUBixbu3HOa_yFZu3PWnxFC3Cln0/edit?usp=sharing

  • Unless you’re looking for a ninja, or get lucky and dmg makes his semesterly stop down here (you literally missed him by like 2 or 3 days...he locked like 4 posts while he was at it and even told us he ate the Pringle’s can) then you might wanna post this somewhere in #destiny2. Just be careful of the salt mines. Best of luck m8. [spoiler]but before you go have a fish fact! Coccolithophore blooms can be seen from space![/spoiler]
