Shameful policy making
UPDATES:
At a certain point it's wasted effort. Good luck to the members forced to finally leave. You'll be remembered not for how you were abandoned, but how you contributed to the community.
There is a difference between not having the resources to help a certain group, and actively killing that group.
Archived. Although the truth wasn't given in this thread, many revelations were brought up in another. This site should absolutely have a strong Destiny focus, and that was never the issue most veteran members had. The problem is, many sacrifices and failures have been made and it's almost destroyed any community building this site had. Not to mention the extreme lack of communication and, frankly shady moderation (although that's been all but resolved now that we actually get notifications for bans).
Hopefully the newer users can shape the site on their own, which they are thankfully slowly doing.

I dunno... we can totally remember them for their contributions. But I will never forget how or why they all went. [spoiler]Bullshit, rly.[/spoiler]

Bump.

2 RepliesEdited by Sapid: 10/6/2015 4:46:42 PMNot only is it shameful you haven't officially responded to our feedback and just decided to quietly un-pin the announcement thread, it's shameful that you pushed this policy without warning those locked out. I'm not overreacting when I say that, even if this policy was a good thing, it's disturbing how this is being handled.

5 RepliesEdited by N7riseSSJ: 10/1/2015 1:09:59 AMOkay here's Deej's post and I am going to interject my responses into it: [quote]Hey there, Community. At Bungie, we’re committed to making our website a safe, well-lit place for the community. As the engaged innkeepers of Bungie.net, we’ve learned that accountability is a great ingredient in the recipe for a healthy community. When a user has some personal investment associated with their account, they’re more likely to take pride in the way they communicate with other people.[/quote] Accountability you say? That's really funny coming from you DeeJ, considering you and the rest of Bungie have virtually none on the forums for your game breaking mistakes. Personal investment can be accounted for with their previous gaming experiences, as I am sure those who played halo have been on these forums for a while. Again, [i]accountability[/i] on your part is lacking here (more like common sense actually). [quote]Since its inception and throughout various evolutions, Bungie.net has served a community that shares a game. The game (Destiny, for example) is the thing we all have in common – the unifying element that brings us together in the first place. In order to ensure that the end-users who are accessing the public forums on Bungie.net have a greater interest in the quality of the conversation, we’re going to require that each account be linked to a Guardian with some player history. At current, that includes more than 99% of our active community.[/quote] No, Destiny is not the thing we [i]all[/i] have in common, it is the thing that [i]most[/i] of us have in common. And who ever said those who don't have Destiny aren't interested in the "quality of conversation"? [quote]Bungie.net accounts are free, easy to make, and easy to link to your playable character. Your access to the public forums is tied to your Guardian, but your account can still be used to enjoy many of the free social features that we provide. If you’re not playing Destiny, you’ll still have access to Private Groups.[/quote] Free, but apparently exclusive now. This is sounding almost like the whole TTK situation (Minus the free, but aligned with the lock-out). [quote]If you’re a new user who is seeking support from us on the #Help forum, you can find some instructions on how to create and link an account here: https://www.bungie.net/en/Help/Article/12130 If you need assistance with creating your account, let us know here: https://www.bungie.net/en/Help/Troubleshoot?oid=13633 It is our hope that you’ll enjoy a long stay in our online home. Throw down some roots. Make some friends. Play some games. Be excellent to each other. DeeJ, out.[/quote] Yeah I'd love to make friends, with everyone, Destiny users and non-destiny users alike. And roots? Well the people that have been here for years were the roots, so I think you mean "throw away some roots." We won't be excellent to each other because you guys are practically a disgrace. -blam!-ing ridiculous. We're in the forums ripping each other apart daily BECAUSE YOU LACK THE SO-CALLED ACCOUNTABILITY THAT YOU SAID FOSTERS A HEALTHY COMMUNITY. Don't you see? You guys lack it and don't respond to [b]important issues[/b], therefore we are left to attack each other like beta fish (hmmm beta...destiny...interesting). If I was religious, [i]I'd pray for you DeeJ[/i].

3 RepliesWow that was a lengthy and confusing post.

If they want to have a Destiny only forum so badly, why didn't they create a separate forum for that purpose? It's not as though they didn't rake in enough cash to be able to afford it.

Edited by WickedWahine808: 10/1/2015 5:36:27 AMI've seen this coming. D̶e̶s̶t̶i̶n̶y̶.̶n̶e̶t̶ Bungie.net is not catering to the older fans who didn't get bewitched by their latest creation, but who have been on these forums for years. The old days when this site sprouted off topic discussions about gaming in general, art, lore, zombies, music, dog's head, science is no longer relevant or useful for the studio. These topics describe a small minority, and minorities are not heard in the Destiny's world where numbers and statistics rule supreme. Much like the game, I believe whoever is in charge would like to see these forums blend into one focus only, Destiny. As an adult with very little time for gaming, I found Destiny to be an unattainable enjoyment. As months went by, the doors to the game where fun begins closed on me, one by one. Without the availability of a serious amount of hours to invest, the game makes me feel l̶i̶k̶e̶ ̶a̶n̶ ̶i̶d̶i̶o̶t̶ as if I am always trying to catch up. It requires either a friend who is well versed in Destiny's world or YouTube videos to help me find my way through mazes of grindification. TTK might be the last DLC I own because my schedule and gaming hours will not change anytime soon but most importantly, because it is not fun for me anymore. As an artist, I used to spent a massive amount of time just strolling in this beautiful world, amazed at every detail that countless people contributed with their own talents. Nowadays, I feel guilty doing that as I should be grinding to get my numbers up so I can get the stuff that makes you legend before it becomes obsolete. Destiny is not for me, and no one cares but this brings me to the next point, the forums membership new requirement. I'm still here because of the friendships, creativity, art, fun and users who were here when being an [url=http://www.bungie.net]All-Star[/url] made us proud and the community included many sorts of folks without discrimination. But now you'll have to show ID at the door, what's next? Must have current DLC to get in? Honestly, most of the old guard who hadn't tried Destiny left after launch and the LFG nightmare of hordes of desperate guardians looking for "must be level ∞, have blue eyes, latest butt flaps and a super-duper", so maybe you're right, might as well clean up the remains of the old guard as their presence just gets in the way of your world domination plans. Ha! Ha! I think I'll join the insurgency ;) [spoiler]Also #NeverForgetMots[/spoiler] Edit because English as a fourth language and spelling like a fourth grader :(

Soon you won't be allowed on if you don't have the latest DLC
-
Lol. Maybe now the idiots who say "you've never even played destiny" on the forums will get a grasp of the concept of privacy settings. Or keep being asinine. Probably the latter.

4 RepliesSo let me get this straight.. if its not do correct me.. But bungie has locked the forums to people that dont have a linked destiny account?!
