[b]Disclaimer:[/b] [i]I know I will get a lot of hate for this post, I am not singling ANYONE out, and I am not saying that anyone who has thought about quitting destiny falls into any of these categories. [/i] Since the very start, Destiny has had large amounts of players leave the game for various reasons. When TTK launched, many players returned and new players emerged. NOW it seems that players are dropping like flies [u]again[/u] and a lot of those players are found on these forums with their "final words" stating their reasons for leaving. Just like the beginning, these reasons all seem to vary, but there are some noticeable consistencies. But, to me, I cannot see why players new and old, ones with 1-2+ thousand hours, players from back in the beta are now swearing Destiny is terrible, Bungie is corrupted, and are "threatening" to quit the game all-together. Additionally, I think most of them are over-reacting. Black Spindle Nerf and introduction of micro-transactions have recently been the "hot topics" here on the forums, so I wanted to talk about them in a defensive stance. When I first heard about the micro-transactions, I got a little nervous, which quickly dissipated after I then heard it would only be used for cosmetic items i.e. emotes. I, like everyone else, was nervous that the micro-transactions would lead to being able to [u]buy power[/u], which many players found in the form of consumables that were recently leaked. A few of these consumables included higher drop rates in the King's Fall Raid, which many people considered 'buying power'. I, however, disagree. To me, this is not buying power since it still relies on the players [u]playing the game[/u] and[u] relying on RNG[/u].Think of it this way: [i]2 guys go into the raid, Guy 1 with consumable active and Guy 2 without. However, Guy 2 just so happens to have very good RNG that raid and comes out with the same, or maybe even better, gear as Guy 1who had bad RNG even with the consumable.[/i] Even though Guy 1 payed, he did not "win". Whether you buy the consumable or not, you will have to go into the raid, and you will come out with gear. On a final note, even if Destiny does become "pay to win," how exactly do you "win?" There is not "winning" in PvE, everything is balanced (for the most part) and reliant on skill in crucible, and the only place it would matter is in Iron Banner and Trials, but even so, raid gear is not the best gear to use in it. lastly I wanted to cover the Black Spindle where most people are complaining over how the attack was dropped by 20 on all Spindles. Let me just say this: if the Black Spindle dropped at 290 and was 280 in the kiosk to begin with, no one would care, so unless you were one of the unfortunate people to infused their spindles to 310 which were then dropped, get over it. The way I see it, many people are [i]looking[/i] for reasons to hate Destiny, so if you don't want to play, then just leave instead of creating such a negative community. Because if this shit continues, Destiny will soon have a community no better than COD where everyone complains about the game but continues to play and buy all the DLC just to complain more. Is there anyone else who sees it my way? Seriously. I can feel the hate comments posting already. Edit 1: Just wanted to say that in the patch notes (if you haven't already read them) the loot drop consumables for the King's Fall raid were never going to be released, they were simply an idea that Bungie had but was removed. I was not worrying about it to begin with, and I think that those who were worried about it should really try to put more trust in Bungie.
