So, once again Iron Banner has been cut short with inadequate warning. Tweeting an announcement that Iron Banner will be cut short is not only inefficient but also something Bungie said they would never (exclusively) do again. There was supposed to be a stickied thread on the forums, but even then that's not enough. If they can put an alert for refer a friend in game, they can do the same for their Iron Banner ending announcements. The people making decisions at Bungie seem to be intent on lying to us repeatedly and then doing the exact opposite of what they said they would or wouldn't do. Remember how Deej said that they didn't want us to have to leave our favorite weapons behind when HoW came out? They turned around and made us leave our year one weapons behind. Remember how they said Destiny would have a large explorable world? But instead we can't go 10 steps without being told to turn back.
These are just a couple of examples. The bottom line is that lying is unethical, and it is ultimately a poor business practice that will push people away.
Edit: In game there was no indication. Lord Saladin's timer should accurately reflect the intended cutoff time. There need to be in game announcements.

Edit: Cozmo's reply to a post saying he'd make sure important information is stickied in the future.

Nobody is going to check the forums when grinding IB either. Even if they did post something here most people STILL probably wouldn't have seen it and would still be complaining

Companies don't have ethics. Pair that with Activision (a company founded in 1939 by Adolph Hitler, in conjuction with Satan) and you can't really be surprised.

Bungie has been consistent in only one thing since Destiny has released....and thats their ability to go back on what they say. You're examples are true, but lets not forget when they said they wanted to lessen the progression through RNG. I liked being able to earn materials to buy endgame gear in PoE. Gave u a very linear path to the max lvl. Then they just reverted back to the RNG crap with the raid -_- oh heres an armor piece that has a 1 in 11 chance of being max. TTK did great with implementing quests but undid everything that HoW did right. Bungie has just been saying what people want to hear without delivery. There is no reason to shut it down even a minute early. What purpose does that serve. They do need to be more interactive with addressing issues. They are so vague with everything. Any issue in the game doesnt get brought up until the weekly update IF we are lucky. They leave the players to come up with their own theory about how the game works because they dont want to give any details on anything.

Hahahahaha

Been through business in ethical studies blah blah long story short you can't link ethics with business. Businesses are about money and profit, ethics are about people. The businesses number one priority is the profit it makes, not it's consumer, therefore ethics is out of the question unless there was illegal activity. Anyway I know I'm missing the point. Yeah there is shady stuff going on at bungie, but not really "unethical", that would imply they were using child labour or something.

1: Big fat hairy deal - I was Rank 5 for 2-3 days - got bored overall and was just grinding for drops. 2: It's there game and they can do whatever the hell they damn well please... I may not agree in some areas...but I'm not going to be a whiny bitch ass idiot and post on the forums about it like you do.

Edited by Namaral40: 11/25/2015 3:03:30 AMI Love destiny, I think it's a great game and I don't care what anyone thinks! I don't care if I get hate for this but I just think destiny is a really good game.. But I do agree with some people when they say that they should add more content to the game to make it more fun. Other than that I love it
-
They gave a 7 hour warning, how is that not adequate, if they wouldn't of sent it out on Twitter, how would anyone of known... I was playing IB, when I got the push notification with the warning, the app or forum can't do that... Think before you post, please...I hate being this way, but Damn...
-
They cut 1/168th of the time...... Who cries about one hour?
-
Thanks for editing Barely informing us is different from lying
-
Welcome to the real world. Wait til a mechanic -blam!-s you over for a few hundred bucks, or when you pay for trash service and they don't come for 2 weeks cause they suck....IB will be back, not like it's gone forever. Show Destiny who's boss and quit if you feel like they are constantly lying...But because Bungie didn't give you a reach around and cater to your lack of ability to look up when it ends, you bitch....
-
Maybe the problem isn't that Bungie ended IB an hour early. Maybe the problem was so many people procrastinated until the last day/hour to play IB. After all, it was available all week.
-
I bought Destiny because of Halo , after playing Destiny since day 1 , I will never buy another game with Bungie as a developer
-
Op is a -blam!-ing RETARD this is now about pumpkin pie DISCUSS !
-
Go play another game already TROLL.

If not being told iron banner is about to end is your idea of unethical you've got to get out more. It's annoying, nothing more than that.

Edited by Wells: 11/24/2015 9:08:18 PMSays bungie has no ethics, proceeds to call them liars. Then doesn't expound on why he thinks they have no ethics and are liars.. Edit. Then edits post without putting in the "edit" disclaimer.
-
YEAR TWO VERSIONS OF YEAR ONE EXOTICS FOLKS! Why should we be excited about the things that were taken away from us and then sold back to us with maybe a new impact stat? What the crap? Why is this something that is being praised?
-
Bungie says a lot of things... "You Can Go There" "We respect your time" "We won't do that again" "All of your exotics will come with you" "Blah Blah Blah"... We all know how well those statements have turned out...

It's an hour in the wee hours of the morning buttercup move on
