Nobody is defending Bungie. Not me anyway. I agreed that the functionality should be in the game. You say you're casual and casuals don't go outside of the game, yet here you are on their forum moaning about no sense. How much time are you wasting here to make gripe post after gripe post yet you can't take 5 minutes to go find a group on another site? Your points are valid that the game should have these features, but it should end with that. Posting how you can't do something, as if it's physically impossible, when it's not true is what I am referring to as ridiculous. I'm betting even as a casual player you have take the time to go to youtube or other sites to gain strategies to get past various content in this game as well as many others, and I bet you see nothing wrong with that. Bottom line you're whining just for the publicity of it. Grow up. Adapt. Use the tools that ARE available to you instead of threatening to leave the game and hopes to trash the game's success by your leaving. The fact of the matter is, you sir, are NOT a casual. The casuals that you speak of as the majority of a games success are those who care not to come making ridiculous claims in a forum. They just play their games taking the good and bad with it. So feel free to leave. You won't be missed. Thinking otherwise is so vain and naive that it's funny to even consider. The real casuals will continue to buy this game, it's dlc, and anything else game makers spend money on marketing, whereby keeping the money train going, no matter how bad it is. I guarantee that, you yourself, will be buying the dlc with some half cocked excuse that "maybe they fixed some things..." or some other bs reason to make yourself feel good about the decision. Just like you or plenty of others will continue to buy every iteration of COD regardless of how bad the forums say they are and with people threatening to leave them too. Can we just be honest? For real this conversation is tired. Get over it bruh.
