The following is a tribute to Simon and Garfunkel's "The Sounds of Silence" ("Hello Darkness my old friend - why isn't this already in the game?!) while also a parody of these forums and the current status of Destiny. I hope to enjoy it and don't forget to explicitly say you're muting someone otherwise they won't know (or care). Cheers!

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision Saladin raiding
Left its image while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains within the sound of silence
.
In restless games I played alone
No fire team to call a home
'Cause they’ve already left
To other games less content bereft
.
When my eyes were stabbed
By the flash of new content
A free present
And touched the sound of silence
.
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand players, maybe more
People posting without thinking
People muting without listening
.
People writing nerf posts
That players never share
And no one dare
Disturb the sound of silence
.
"Fools, " said they, "you do not know
Meta like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Have fun that I might reach you."
But my words like poor loot drops fell
And echoed in the lag of silence
.
And vex servers bowed and prayed
To the red bar gods they made
And the sweats lashed out their warning
And the words that were forming
.
And they said,
"Skill based matchmaking
Are nothing but K/D walls
While fire bolt mauls."
And raged in Bungie’s silence.[/spoiler]

Bumping amidst the silence. XD
