Uhhh this is a super halo thing to do. Dumbass

For secrets, not for paid additional content.

I seem to have missed the part of halo where you got free additional content. You know, where drive volunteered their time for your benefit

That's not what I meant. In halo, the extra content was just maps, maps that had secrets and really the secrets had no value other than being cool. Destiny on the other hand has content that impacts the game somewhat. With black armory, they are supposed to give us content not puzzles that require more or less streamers to actively complete just to continue with the content you paid for. I don't really care all that much because somebody will open it eventually, but it's been quite a wait so far with little to no progress and honestly I don't think I paid to wait for somebody else to unlock content for me. It's a waste of time and honestly I hope they never do it again because it adds nothing to the experience when so many people are already on the fence of just dropping the game in the first place. It's a REALLY stupid move.

In old school MMOs, devs would do things like this and we LOVED IT. There was an enormous saga in asherons call where PvPers on one server fought defending the enemies, which stopped the story from progressing. Of course, they wouldn't have the story out of sync on one server from the other 7, so the entire community sat in suspense watching. It lasted weeks. They had to have outside mules bring them spell ingredients, foods, etc. This event stuff is awesome, it's just been wasted on the most shallow generation of gamers. But alas, video games have been infinitely dumbed down. And worse, gamers have been even more dumbed down to the point that when a dev tries to implement something similar, and to a much lesser extent, they whine about it and accuse the Dev of withholding content.

I think Destiny just isn't the game to do those kinds of things with. Destiny doesn't have a good track record and people aren't happy with them, so it's not the best idea with that in mind. I don't mind puzzles and things, it's just...i not only don't want to wait for that, but there's pretty much no way I could solve it on my own. If it were a bit more simple, sure then it would be fine, but this puzzle is so convoluted and there are like no hints or clues.

Yeah, so the entire community needs to come together to figure it out, like what they did in D1 multiple times and what tons of MMOs have done. It's awesome. Why isn't destiny the right place for it? Because the hive mind decided to bash the franchise at any cost? Wouldn't that be the reason it should do some things that are different and have a greater level of depth?
