Hi dear community,
I roughly think that the most of the people that "hate" out there, without any single constructive feedback, about the DLC (or the raid lairs) know what it actually takes to develop such a big ass raid.
Like have you done well coded programming before? Modelling? Animating? Sound effects? Mapping?
I'm not trying to defend this game, it's more that I wanna say that you should think about the people behind the game, in the studios. They're just normal people like you and me and they use their time to develop you guys something to play, have fun and enjoy. And after that they get hated to death with nonsense hating? How would you feel as a developer? And obviously it's gonna cost you something, would you code hundreds of hours, if not even thousands of hours for free?
As a developer myself, I can tell you, it's not easy, it takes a damn lot of time and effort. And after that we'd love a "thank you" instead of a "f**k you".
Not saying you should love the game completely after this, but understand the work that has been put in.
[b]This had to be said:[/b] At least some respect to the developers, designers & co. would be appreciated, instead of all the braindead-hating. Everyone has their opinion, but think about it, before shouting it.
[i]Thank you for your time
Lots of love for the community & the workers

I think the issue is with the fundamental attitude that Bungie is bringing to the table, how that bleeds through into the game, and how that affects the players. It's not like "Man, I wish there were X number of things to do instead of Y!" It's, "Bungie had a working model of a good game in Destiny Y2 and Y3 and then [b]removed[/b] large portions of that working model and replaced them with things that do not work." Destiny is modeled well. It sounds phenomenal. If the game was just judged on its aesthetics, smoothness, and general programming quality, there's no doubt that we'd not have see the backlash that we've seen. But it's severely lacking in meaningful content. Let me emphasize that word: [b]meaningful[/b]. I have no doubt that the programmers put in a lot of hard work, and I'm glad they did. But the leadership's decision about where they want to take the game is not reflective of that hard work, and that is the target of the bulk of the criticism that is being levied against Bungie. Direction, not methods.
