Breaking News: Bungie Stoops to New Lows
Well, it isn't really "breaking news". The entire year, Bungie has been treating the community like shit and now that the new exotics have been released (along with the patch notes), I'm not sure I want to play Destiny anymore. The game had so much promise, but I might just have to move on to ARK or whatever they are cooking up at Highwire Games. Below are my 3 reasons to quit Destiny. Look at bottom for the gist.
[b]1.[/b] Overpriced DLC:
My first reason has to do with the price of the game. In addition to selling us an incomplete game for 60$, Bungie regularly asks for 20-40$ to stay in the game. These "DLC's" make previous content obsolete and force players to change their weapons to crappy year two weapons with terrible perks (Battle Runner on an exotic!?!). In fact, Bungie goes so far that they have to NERF all the previous perks to make the new and "improved" ones look good. So why don't they just add new, better weapons that people WANT to play with? It's anybody's guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Another thing that bothers me greatly is that Bungie is locking people out of content that THEY PAID FOR unless they get the DLC. People won't be able to do Nightfalls or Weeklies anymore unless they spend 40$! This is unfair and really shouldn't be legal!
[b]2.[/b] Bungie Throws Veterans under the bus:
Ok, so we get a shader, an "upgraded sparrow" and an emblem. SO WHAT! Bungie has frequently offered the game at a reduced price for NEW PLAYERS ONLY! And they make old players feel like the hundreds of hours that they poured into the game were useless because all their old gear became that. I understand that the games price will decrease over time, but people don't want to play a premium for a game where they will be set back to square one each and every expansion. Also, the VIP rewards are obtainable of you pre-order TTK and get to level 20 before it is released (which isn't hard to do). This makes the VIP rewards feel useless and not very special because someone could obtain them if they got a copy of TTK and played a decent amount of time.
[b]3.[/b] Post what you think your 3rd reason would be! If you don't agree with my sentiments, then post why you are not quitting Destiny!
[b]The Gist:[/b] Bungie has lied to the fanbase, made weapons obsolete to make the new ones seem ok (at best), and they have overpriced their DLC. They also treat the Veteran players like crap and "listen to the community". I DARE Cozmo to respond to this.
[b]Edit 1:[/b] When I tried to post #bumpfortruth as a tag, it wouldn't let me. Makes you think...
[b]Edit 2:[/b] I'm seeing some very insightful comments, keep them coming!
[b]Edit 3:[/b] I'll try to respond to everyone's comments, it may take a while though
[b]Edit 4:[/b] Over 200 comments and #3 on trending! Keep Bumping!

Currently, people can preorder Destiny plus all three expansions for $60 USD, which is approximately the price most payed for just Destiny nearly a year ago. Since then, veteran (day-one) players have poured out another 40 dollars for both the Dark Below and House of Wolves. With the Taken King added in, this will amount to a whopping $140 for all three expansions, plus the game. On the other hand, newer players get all of this (and more) for nearly half the price. This is an injustice on behalf of the veteran players. In response to our loyalty, we get a sparrow, a shader, and an emblem, while these new players get 3 free Exotics (with special XP-boosting perks), 3 Shaders, and 3 new emotes. This is hardly fair to the veteran players, who have paid more for this game than any new player has or ever will. This petition is designed to let Bungie and Activision know that we will not stand for this, and that we want what we deserve. We are asking that veteran players (it should be easy to discern older players from the newer ones) receive the same perks that the Collector's Edition purchasers are receiving (the free Exotics, sparrow, shaders, and emblem), due to the fact that we have already paid more than enough for it. For this to work, Bungie would need to introduce a Digital Collector's Edition featuring solely The Taken King. Thanks for the support. https://www.change.org/p/bungie-activision-give-year-1-players-the-same-perks?recruiter=377847320&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink
