[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!

Ok. I'll do all my solo's then, and stock bounties so I can [u]play [b]all day.[/b][/u]
-
Stop playing a game I already paid Bungie to play.... for 1 day. THAT WILL SHOW THEM...that they already have our money? #worstprotestever
-
Booked it off work so I can play all day.
-
I'll log in. I'm not a whiny little bitch
-
Yes, this is a brilliant idea. Please do that, so that the adults can get on the game and simply enjoy it without all of the whining. Pathetic.
-
I'm all for it
-
Ya I'm up for that. No log in 7/7

Edited by ColNapalm: 6/23/2015 9:37:48 PMRespectfully, instead of taking on a single issue as a cause, I'd suggest a day of general protest. That will unite more people and send a more powerful message - with a greater likelihood of reformed behavior by Bungie - as well as more press attention leading up to the day. I'm a crisis management executive, trust me. Cheers

You should also take LFG offline for a day. As well as planet destiny, public events timers and any other user generated website to show the value that they added.
-
I'm in
-
Haven't played for days. The shit Bungie is pulling is pathetic. I see why much of the Halo staff "moved on". The best part is that they think a shader, sparrow, and emblem makes up for the fact that we are having to pay 40$ for something we should already have. I hope this ruins Destiny.
-
Havnt played in about 2 weeks anyway. maybe 3 I lost count lol
-
I already don't log in cause there's nothing to do.
-
[quote]let's not log in[/quote] Said no one ever.

I haven't logged in over a week. It will probably be two weeks more before I can login. RL problems are what is keeping me from Destiny not this crap about DLC which will suck anyways. I'm not going to buy the DLC anyways because it is just so stupid based on HoW DLC. But that is another ball of wax that hopefully they will correct. HoW was the epic failure of a DLC to begin with. The main selling points for the HoW DLC is free, that anyone who buys the game tonight can have access to. PoE and ToO isn't worth being called DLC content. All PoE is a strike that last as long as a Stirke should.

I respect this

-
I'll honor this
-
I haven't logged on since TTK editions were announced, I want to take it one (big) step farther and suggest that we don't log in ever again.
-
I've been off for the last two days so one day won't kill me.I'll just get on at 12 a.m.Also does anyone know what our weekly and nightfall is for this week.Too curious
-
Edited by HotdogPartyDays: 6/23/2015 5:08:48 PMEdit cause I'm an asshat.
-
So nobody noticed that year one players will be getting even more than we were promised according to Deej
-
Bump. Will finish up Shadow of Mordor and or Witcher 3, Bungie® has decided its' own destiny with their own decisions.
