Thats not the point, of course loads of people will play and everyone will get annoyed and pissed off with the lag and latency and hopefully not the rewards of course, it always happens. The point is just because there is exclusive armour and weapons that people want, it doesn't give Bungie the right to piss us off in the process. IB only needed to return to control which is what the majority are happy with, add the rewards that they dealt out when it was clash which the majority was very happy with and then remove as much latency as possible which will make the majority happy.
Bungie and any company for that matter will never make everyone happy, its impossible, everyone has different opinion which should be respected, however that doesn't they can't make the majority of people happy, which they just don't do, they got some mega praise from IB clash rewards, then they went and completely removed it all the next IB? However they got praised and thanked for returning it to control, abeit with some dumb maps included *cough* Cathedral of dusk *cough* ... Now they ain't learned their lesson and are moving it to a game mode that the majority DOES NOT LIKE.
There are so many players out there that don't have clans that don't have mics that aren't solid pvp players that just simply won't be able to compete with teams that have communication, know each others game and will mercy them all the time, I expect to see tons and tons of mercy rules, so many blink MIDA shotgun runners and a lot of solo players carrying 5 medalions. It was the incorrect decision to choose rift as a game mode in a competitive pvp event, the backlash from the community is evidence of that, and the community are right to act that way.
Bungie needs to stop thinking they are always right and the community is always wrong, worringly its more the other way around, 90% of the time the community is actually correct and Bungie go against it, there is nothing wrong with listening and following the advice of the people.

Their game. Their company. Driven by the parent company's desire to push whatever directive they feel is appropriate. You are actually the very very small minority. They can do whatever they want and you have two choices: Like it; or nothing.

Maybe you don't get how it works, they should do what we want to keep us playing it's not the 80's anymore, not as much about discs sold and player count matters a lot making the players happy makes them want to play and let's the workers at bungie have a good job...

That's the thing though isn't it? Destiny has large enough a player base that whatever you don't like doesn't matter because there are enough people that DO like it.
