[quote]I know, these things never work. I know, this probably sounds entitled. Perhaps it is, but I ask that you at least read all of this before you make those judgments and dismiss this post.
If you haven't read the top post by now, Luke Smith has taken it upon himself to slap every last player in the face and show us that we're nothing more than cattle to Bungie. If that sounds reactive or like hyperbole, please read the article and you'll realize that it's a pretty accurate assessment. This doesn't just insult you and I as regular players, but it spits on all of the hard work of everyone who made awesome community tools to fill in the gaps of Bungie's otherwise 6.5/10 game. Things like LFG sites that were made to compensate for the lack of matchmaking; like DestinyPublicEvents or Destiny Item Manager; like Destiny Ghost Hunter or sites that give you a better look at the Grimoire so that you have even the slightest clue as to what story actually exists in this game. The list can go on. We as a community put a lot of time and effort into making this game more than we were given. And don't get me wrong, there are some fantastic people at Bungie working their hardest to constantly improve the game, to listen to us and implement as much feedback as they can, to give use the tools needed to build everything I just mentioned. I get that. I'm hugely grateful for them, too.
However, we can't let an attitude like Luke Smith's dictate the future of this game without being contested. We shouldn't, anyways. We didn't just play this game; we invested in their community. We invested our time and talents to enrich the experience for each other in ways the game itself couldn't. Yet now we're being treated like we're nothing more than a pile of wallets? I get that they're a business, but you don't build a strong base for a game that's supposed to last 10 years by ostracizing and insulting your existing player-base.
For that reason, I implore anyone reading this to consider taking a day off. Just one day of either watching Netflix or playing a different game (new Batman, yes?) or anything else, really. That Tuesday, when they expect all of us to rush back into the weekly events and start knocking out our chores (likely even offering us some trinket to celebrate their favorite day of the year), let's actually show them what happens if we take our business elsewhere. Let's try to drive their server numbers to record lows. Let's organize ourselves as the community that wants this game to be as great as we know it can be and tell them in a way that even Activision can understand that we don't agree with their direction and we're not afraid to go elsewhere (especially after that E3 we were given this year). They need to stay competitive to retain us, so please, I only ask that you consider grabbing your friends and playing something else on Bungie Day this year. Show them that we matter just as much as any new players they mean to attract.
It's your choice as to how the future of this game shapes up, so do you want to try to make a statement or do you want to pay $40 for exclusive dance moves?[/quote]
Edit: I really do loathe people who don't even read the post and just go down to the comments to insult/rage against me. If you read the post and still don't see any point in not logging on, fine. But read the damn post!

Then they'll just release some special item for logging in on that day and everyone will flip their shit because they missed it.

-
I'm down Bungie just isn't bringing enough content to the table Then having such arrogance against the community that supports their livelihood Going to spend more time on eso
-
Joining. Bump. Advise all of you to join too. It's only one day T-T If you really can't do this then you're just addicted.
-
I like this. So when i play on july 7 the servers won't be as bad
-
Let's just not log in anyways because the HoW content is already worthless.
-
I have an advice for Bungie: git gud
-
I'm down, as long as it's not reset day.. Hehe
-
I'm down for this, hopefully many others are too. Lets empty the bungie servers!
-
I'm down I know they "take our opinions under consideration" but when the majority still plays they'll listen to the numbers Let's show 'em that the Vets are the majority
-
-
Bump. I've barely played since ESO and The Witcher 3 came out anyway. HoW was a total waste of money, IMO.
-
People are idiots man I feel your pain the worst of it is that I can't not log on on a Tuesday and no matter how mad I am about content I will buy TTK at full price on release. And I will be happy with it, even tho I do feel salty. Hi I'm raven and I'm a destiny addict
-
I'm in. There will be no XBOX PLAYED PERIOD in my house 7/7/15
-
I'll probably be playing Master Chief Collection on the 7th.
-
ESO came out.....what is this destiny you speak of?
-
Bump. I think I'll test out the bf4 spring update
-
I stopped playing whatsoever
-
Bump Im in, well out as i wont be logging on. £40 for some [i][/i]DLC which wont be upto scratch (based on previous two) OR £55 for the legendary edition which is the DLC and 3 things I already own. Id rather spend £40 on Arkham Knight , Fallout 4, Starwars Battlefront, basically brand new full content I dont own or have played before.
-
Already doing that. Better idea...let's not give them anymore of our money...they WILL notice that!
-
Agreed and bump
-
I'm logging in 100 times just to make you mad.
-
Bump. Batman is pretty damn sweet.
-
Amen.
-
Senor Poopypants bump.
