Bungie needs to communicate more often

Every time I make genuine constructive criticism in the forums or anyone brings up an issue on YouTube I feel like we’re talking to a brick wall. 9 times out of 10 we get no response about genuine issues that are plaguing the game which are brought up constantly. Core playlist lootpools, crucible maps and gamemodes, stasis, vendors, strike playlist’s repetitive strikes, light subclass balancing, sunset weapon reissuing, lack of things to do in the cosmodrome, gambit and its plethora of problems. There is more small problems but you understand the point. It’s the fact that I rarely see the “bungie reply” on posts anymore, while I know a few posts are not necessarily constructive, some are and really do establish some real problems in this game that aren’t being addressed. This also goes for YouTubers who are ignored big or small. I understand if bungie says one or two things on Reddit but not everyone uses the platform. There needs to be a lot more communication in the future because the game is in a very stale spot right now with no real reason to play beyond the weekly reset.

    Bungie treats us as a passenger on their joy ride rather than a customer. My analogy over here would be ad follows: Destiny: Cab/taxi Bungie: Driver Player: Customer Base game: Free online registration to access the taxi/cab. Car is limited to 5MPH speed. DLC: Membership tier for less relevant places like grocery stores. Car speed increases to half the allowed road speed limit. Season Pass: Membership tier for going longer distances and more relevant places like restaurants and job. Car can drive up to the legal speed limit. Eververse: Unlimited journeys to anywhere you want. Chose your car and speed limit is expected by law, aka over speeding is legal in this tier. Customer pays the fare for a limited journey and as long as the journey remains relevant to the customer the driver does not need to do anything apart from charging the customer. The only explanation from driver will be: 1. We are downsizing the car from a luxurious executuve MPV, which you paid for in full in past years of membership, to a hatchback because its too big to drive. (Content vault) 2. The old membership card you had is of wrong color so you need to renew it every 12 months. It will be same thing but new color and retain your membrship (gear sunset). 3. We are changing the colour of the leather seats every months so you think it's a new car but it's the same old seat where you farted last week (season weapons recycle) 4. You don't use extra seats so we are thinking of removing them (super sunset) 5. Air conditioning is a optional billable extra if you want to reach your destination in style on hot summer day (Eververse) 6. You must make several journeys every day in order to retain membership (daily grind) Every relevant communication is there so not sure what you are complaining about. 🙃 [spoiler] I originally wrote: Bungie doesn't treat the playerbase as stake holders; they just look at players as paying customers. Why I think we should be a stake holder... because we agree to a one sided EULA which I reckon is more similar to a rental agreement than a purchase agreement. We don't own anything in this game when we buy the product. We literally have a limited use license which is twisted in a way that we are at a disadvantage by design. The gaming industry is not regulated by FCA or anything equivalent (in US or UK) and only exception is Belgium AFAIK. In UK , for example, all statutory rights are nulled when a digital game or season pass is purchased for all games. This is good for business but bad for customer. As an entertainment tool, I don't have a problem with this but I think Bungie is highly exploitative when usingnlae to siphon money from customers. Hence the analogy, now simplified for all.
