There seems to be a lot of whining in here, and then there is a lot of whining about whining. Then there are those who whine about those who whine about those who whine even. So I am going to go one step further. Whine X4. Actually, this is not a angry post or anything, just putting this in for others to think about before they hastily go ahead and cancel their pre-orders. They are going to be missing out on one hell of a game.
There are countless things players are frustrated with about Destiny: no prox. chat, no match making for raids, one zone per planet, erasing beta characters, characters over or underpowered, weapons that are over or under powered, etc. So with all that, I have one thing I think some people need to know:
Bungie is not new to video games.
It almost seems like some people do not think that Bungie has put any thought into the stuff that they choose to complain about. I cannot understand why. Bungie has been around for more than a few months, and have made games before that have seen the light of day. I find it hard to believe that they have not considered character's skills and abilities, weapons, and many other things before putting them or leaving them out of the game and how they are balanced fairly. Why is there no proximity chat? Don't know, but am positive that Bungie has thought of that. Raid match making, character wipe, and other things they have commented on already, which means that they have put thought into that before anyone started finding issues with that.
From what we heard, the beta was a success, and they have learned tons of information, but that was only a small piece of the game that we got to see, experience, and critique. There are more missions, more planets, more skills, more weapons, more everything. That stuff we didn't see will be there September, and I am sure Bungie will discover some things that may need a little fixing. However, back to my original point, this is not their first game, and they have been working on this game for a long time.
So my point? Before you start to speculate, assume, guess, and make wild accusations, cancel pre-orders and badmouth Bungie, do this: [b][i]Trust Bungie.[/i] [/b]
EDIT: Some people were not careful when they were reading.

I trusted Bungie....since 2001, when I got my Xbox and a copy of Halo and fell in love with video games, Halo and Bungie. I bought every Halo game, in EVERY edition and faithfully defended Halo and its makers against the droves of Sony fanboy non-believers. Fast forward to now and what did I get for all my faithful, unwavering support? A SLAP IN THE FACE in the form of exclusive content for PS4 and a general non-acknowledgment of the Xbox One's existence. So NO, DON'T TRUST BUNGIE BECAUSE THEY WILL -blam!- YOU IN THE END!
