Those boomers man...sword bearers bane indeed.
And folks, why are we doing this again? I don't agree with the disrespectful plug or calling out specific folks over personal views/emotions, but this is getting ridiculous.
The OT=positive discussion only thing hasn't been the case since the 2nd week after the game launched. Don't see how not being loyal to a corporation/product was a necessary distinction from playing with folks. Makes it sound like an insinuation about this community that is insulting from many aspects.
Deej is just a community manager. The patsy of the game's development team. He has no impact whatsoever. With that said, some of the direction he takes in his updates that poke at the hornet's nest is the opposite of what he should be doing.
Bungie hasn't done well to improve the game. Their patches seem to further break the game. The reset every 3 months (and offering gear to circumvent that 3 month progress) punishes the active player base. The additional currency systems punish newer players or those looking to start alts. Every bit of content that is added seems to be in Beta for us to test so that they can cheaply maneuver around the players to push them down, or again implement patches that are more apt to break than fix. Cheeses that can take longer than the legitimate way are given focus over 'match' breaking glitches. Focus often has been to market DLC and manipulate opinions of the game (wait until level 20! the raid! 10 years of Destiny!!!) over the actual well-being of the community that are the only ones who will be buying the DLC. Among dozens upon dozens of other issues that I could fill in bullet points over an entire page to page and a half on here.
So it's easy to see why people keep playing and just roll through things due to just having fun with folks, enjoying the gunplay, and having good rolls. But I can see where a lot of people are getting disenchanted and frustrated. If it wasn't for a lot of the fine folks here and already engaged to the House of Wolves DLC due to the Digital Guardian Edition, I may have moved on myself.
But I think that even if Bungie isn't giving much of a damn about the community, it doesn't help matters to go beyond their low. It's like when ME3 came out out and people acted like that, and then were shockingly confused on why parts of the company and the media called out on that behavior. It just doesn't help anything, and gives people an excuse to write off complaints despite well meant criticism and issue highlights are out there, whether they be the common approach or buried under the heat.
I took a long while the post this though, and probably has already blown over to where people can just ignore this. But just wanted to say that people should be able to vent (whether we are tired of it or not; take a nap Math

), but I think the venting should be made best to be worth listening to no matter what ears or eyes are taking it in.
