Some people here on B.Net will defend Destiny to their grave. Even if grinding Destiny came at the expense of destroying their own social lives and personal relationship. You cannot reason with the unreasonable. No-one here can confirm whether or not BDobbinsFTW is right or not. [maybe Bungie/Activision can, but if he's right, it goes agaisnt their best interest to comment.] But there are some simple truths to what he is saying, the way Destiny has been handled has been more like a product designed to make their buyers pay more. The game's progression is based on buying DLC and grinding your life away while you wait. [This is not new at all in MMORPG formats]. But at the end of the day, people will keep paying for the game and it's content. That's all that matters. People have shown repeatedly that they do not care about getting ripped off within the video-game industry. So the video-game industry will keep doing it to the players until they do care. This is why the DRM policies within Xbox One failed. People started caring and opted for PS4 during the early announcement period. Only when people care that they are being -blam!-ed over and as a consequence, when they change their practices, does change actually happen. Destiny players simply do not care. They will continue to support whatever policy with whatever consequence it has that may harm or benefit them. They just want to stay in the game and keep it going, for many its clearly a addiction. Being an outsider looking in, it's kinda sad but who am I to judge? Life is harsh and games are a distraction. Activision's morally bankrupt practice wins everytime because for the players who want change within the game, they aren't willing to change themselves to allow for that change to happen. It's really our fault. The majority are too busy investing in the system that their insecurity of it changing is stuck to blindly defending the current system. Bungie/Activision don't really need a PR team of sorts to speak out towards things like this, as Destiny players will defend any argument that hurts their game. This is all one big fail in motion. I'm curious to see if any systematic changes happen over the course of Destiny 1 to it's eventual sequel. It's really a good study of people and consumerism towards it's impact within the Video-Game industry. Blind brand loyalty.
