Bungie's nerfin the ghorn (along with everything else) because they "claim" ppl won't allow randoms to join their fireteams because on LFG sites, people require you to have a ghorn to join. Along with a HUGE list of problems they created, Bungie indirectly (or more directly depending on how you look at it) created this problem because they refused to add matchmaking into the endgame activities. Bungie left it up to the community to "fill in the blanks" if you will, by making us use these lfg sites to find people. When ppl are given the ability to cherry pick their fireteams, OF COURSE they're gonna demand the best weapons for a raid or trials or prison. If bungie had just added matchmaking into ALL activities, people wouldn't have a say about which weapons to demand. Because bungie was lazy, they didn't have a completed/polished game & sold us a broken product that should've been delayed till THIS year NOT last year. They keep making these bone-headed decisions that a new dev would make, but they're better than that.... they know better.... but they keep setting us up to fail because they refuse to do things to actually make gamers happy. Bungie, you're getting so much hate because you know better and you had/have the tools to do right, but you keep intentionally doing the things that are dangerous & possibly game breaking! If you had just put in matchmaking (and your OLD banhammer that catches the cheaters), so many things would be better right now. People wouldn't be looking for blood because it would be on them, not you. You effectively set up the ghorn to fail because YOU created the fireteam cherry picking on the lfg sites because YOU refused to add matchmaking! YOU had a year to make things better (from release til now), yet all you're doing is dumbing things down so the whiney majority gets off your back, but all you've done is ruin great weapons and ruin the best gun in the game! This is on you Bungie, not the lfg sites, not the ppl.... YOU! You can't expect the world to wanna randomly join up with ppl (like your original business model called for) on their own when you indirectly make everyone turn on everyone & destroy every fun thing about the game! You constantly nerf/break all the fun things (take a cue from other games like diablo and such who "nerf up" - when some stuff is bad, you buff everything to make it better, you DON'T nerf the best things and make em worse just so they make the bad weapons better... this is a game, treat us with respect and make it fun & not a nightmare & we'll stick around for your 10 yr plan). You refuse to add matchmaking which would help squash this "cherry picking of fireteams". You keep putting out broken content and ignore the bugs from day one. You'd rather take away a cheese (which some people only played the game because they just don't like to run raids/end game activities with strangers) than make something enjoyable for people. You constantly tell us how to play the game (ppl enjoyed loot cave 1.0... who cares if that's what they wanna do. It's an open world design & not linear - or is it - and if ppl find enjoyment in shooting at constant enemies, so be it) even though YOU said "become legend" in your own way and play the way you want. You've taken the bare minimum, chopped it up even more, repackaged it, resold it and overpriced it... and all you want is for us to "throw money at our screens". It's clear to me now that after a year of your repeated chances to make it right, all you care about is your overall profitability and long term wallet draining. This is why you keep losing ppl. Make the right choice and fix your game. Stop ruining everyone's fun by doing what you're doing & you'll be the best. Keep wrecking stuff & you'll have to keep begging/tricking new ppl into playing your game. Time to stop working against the gamers and to start making them happy. You supposedly read the forums, reddit, etc.... if that's true, you know what would make us happy. You would also know that the choices you keep making are the total opposite of what should be made. You have the amazing, never-before-been-done opportunity to make the best game (franchise) of all time, yet you do things to anger and drive away fans every day. You wanna hit your 10 yr goal with some ppl who were there since destiny 1? Stop right now and actually LISTEN to us. Don't occasionally break weapon balancing just because "other weapons' time will come" (you were quoted that because of luke smith saying that dumb idea in an interview within the past month and a half). Make good things great and make the bad stuff better!! Don't take away every last bit of hope and trust the community has with you. You may think you can do whatever you want and we'll just swallow it down and ask for more, but I can assure you that one day, a better game/franchise will come along and ppl will give up completely on destiny. You've ruined your name that took many games and time to acquire with just one bad game (and many bad decisions updating it til this point). You still have the opportunity to fix the wrong and the hate. Don't squander this opportunity. You know the old saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"? Yea, well... I can think of a lot of stuff that WAS good (gally) that is getting dumped on in an attempt to make bad things better. It seems like you guys are soo disconnected from what it takes to make a good game that you're breaking every last rule just to please people who'll never be pleased. You've created MOST of the problems because you refuse to do the right thing in many situations. STOP! Get your heads on straight, move forward using common sense & make this game as awesome as it has the potential to be. I know you have what it takes to be the best... but whether you decide to fix the right things and leave alone the wrong ones is up to you. Come on Bungie, you're better than this!!! Make destiny epic!! [b]tl;dr - Basically, Bungie keeps changing up the way the game plays just to cater to casuals. The most coveted weapon in the game (love it or hate it - the jellyhorn) is getting nerfed because of the lack of matchmaking and lfg fireteams demanding most people to have a ghorn to join their groups. It's redundant.... they're nerfin it because the "exclusive" factor on lfg sites demands you have one, but it's their own fault because they didn't put matchmaking into all activities. Besides the gally, the weapon nerf across the board is making everything worse, when in fact, they could buff a lot more weapons to make them on a better level when compared to things like the ghorn. Also, instead of releasing the game last year (with a "season pass" - what a joke) which was half finished, they should've waited a year to make it more polished & epic. They know they have a money maker, and everything was summed up in that interview with Luke Smith, with him saying "you'll throw money at the screen". They're capable of so much more, but all they seem to keep doing is ruining the fun stuff to make it better for the people who constantly complain about things like the thorn in crucible & other dumb things. They don't have to make all good weapons bad, just to be on a better level with the other crappy things, but that's whats happening in the next update. That's mostly it.[/b] EDIT: if the TL;DR is even too long for you to read, then it's apparent some people's attention spans are quite short. Sorry, but it is what it is.
