I kinda feel bad for Bungie. You could see the worry in their eyes as they read the comments during the stream.
I think that they're getting a whole lot of hate that is really unfair to them. Like CoD players who are pissed off at the RNG. They made a game that is a hybrid of things that don't really go fantastic together. Well, they work fine together, just the communities don't go well together. Yes Destiny is a good game, but it can't serve the market of all the FPS players who came expecting that RNG wasn't going to be a major factor. And all the MMO players are already hooked on other MMOs and those who actually came out and tried the game seem to really like it. But all the FPS players are giving Bungie a hard time because they don't have experience with the kind of game Bungie has made. It makes me kinda sad.
Another problem is what I call "The Zippers". They binge the content and zip through it at an unreasonable pace, and then bitch and moan about a lack of content. Destiny actually has loads of content. You've just gotta play casually. That's what the game is designed for. TTK could easily last 6 months without the Zippers. But the Zippers seem to all have come to play Destiny. And I'm sure that they are just a small minority of the player base and that most of us actually have fun with the game casually. But they're a really vocal minority. And Bungie noticed them. That's why we got TTK so big. That's also why we get events. But I'm sooo -blam!-ing tired of Zippers bitching and moaning all the mother-blam!-ing time!
So basically Bungie, you listened to the wrong group of players. You listened to the vocal minority. So now everyone's bitching. Thanks for reading, if you made it this far. Peace.
EDIT 1: So, a lot of you have been saying how you need to play for loot and stuff, but I speak from the actual main standpoint of the game, to have fun. Playing at a slower pace makes the game longer lasting and more fun.
EDIT 2: Will Bungie see this? No, probably not. But Donald Trump is a strong presidential candidate, Leo won an Oscar, and Kanye West is broke. Anything is possible in 2016. So Bungie may see this.
EDIT 3: I understand that Bungie has made a lot of blunders with Destiny but I also believe that it's the community's fault for misinterpreting what this game is.
