why the hate? what can we do?

The tl;dr version = let's have the community help show their support for bungie by posting support for their hard efforts and their upcoming game by expressing this wherever we can! Too many negative comments out there! Let's make an effort to express our bungie support! #inbungiewetrust First of all let me clearly state I already understand the problem of Internet toxicity and it's effect on things like comments. We all know that the years of being able to hide behind a screen name has made many people "brave" enough to spout vitriol and disparaging remarks. What disappoints me is all the negative comments I see about destiny. The hating for xxxx pointless reason is so confusing to me when most of the comments seem to state the obvious and irrelevant. Comments such as "this has elements of borderlands/ halo in it therefore it's terrible" or "there's shooting in it therefore it's unoriginal" seem shallow at best to me. It is widely known that popular/ well received games define their genres for long periods of time. It is also widely accepted that halo 1 had this effect in terms of the beginning of multiplayer and player experiences. Halo 2 almost singlehandedly helped Xbox live become the service it is today and so on and so forth. Meanwhile borderlands has also had immense success with its mechanics and systems it introduced and refined with both of its iterations so far. This leads me to sit here and read the comments ( I know I shouldn't) and think "you are upset that this next game from bungie is attempting to fuse elements form many popular genres as well as many successful and loved games?" Why would you be? I'm sure bungie has a thick skin but even as someone who's Investment in destiny is just being a fan and community member, I'm getting a little tired of seeing so much hate dominating the comments for reveals and info on this labor of love from people we have grown to respect so much. Spread the word and lets not "fight back" so much as tip the balance of these comments to reflect just how much we appreciate what the people at one of our favorite studios are doing! Next time you see something from bungie take the two minutes to add a meaningful voice of support! Let's not let the spiteful minority dominate the channels! #inbungiewetrust Thanks Papaya! P.s THANK YOU IF YOU MADE IT THUS FAR!
