Good post, good sentiment; unfortunately me reading it and agreeing with it does nothing all the while the folks who can do something about it do nothing i.e the devs. The sad/frustrating thing about this game is its untapped potential; we can all see how cool it could be but is it ever likely to happen? Think about it for a moment; despite all the negative appraisals from reviewers and gamers alike Bungie still have a game played by millions on a daily basis and already made their 500mil back at launch. From their perspective they probably consider Destiny an unequivocal success; what reason could they possibly have to change it when we're all playing it regardless? They have their money, they'll have even more money when the poor fools who haven't already bought House of Wolves cough up for it expecting a decent expansion, win,win,win. They really have little incentive to improve the game because as it stands they're already laughing all the way to the bank and players continue to say 'one day things'll get better; I'll just keep playing in the hope that they do'.The only time Bungie/Activision will start to listen is when they're no longer making money out of us, so stop shelling out for sub par 'expansions' and promises, perhaps go and play something else for a while and make them make changes by using the power of your wallet to demonstrate your feelings.

I am done with season pass orders. I will buy the basic game from now on and IF I see reviews an expansion is good I will shell out the money but I am done with that side show. I didn't buy COD pass for this very reason after I have seen what Destiny has had to offer lol.. I learned from that. I love Destiny but until they address what we all have been asking for it will lose what players it has. I put a few hours in a week now if that I am bored and hope things get better.

Well said, sir. I stopped playing three hours after TDB launch, which is unfortunate as I (regretfully) preordered the game plus the season pass (once and no more). I do not feel even like starting the game again once HoW launches. And I am pretty sure I won't buy into "the comet" fixing up things. I've tried to love Destiny, I really want it to be what it could have been; hell, I even keep coming back to check the forums and see whether the community has been heard... but things have not changed so far, unfortunately. No more money to Bungie, no more money to Activision, and no more playing its games. There are many other games to move on. By the way, Nox, you are spot on as always, sir. Thanks for addressing what many people think.

Thank you, and I agree with your points. Personally, I'm sticking with the game until I get to see how House of Wolves fails us (mainly because I bought the pass and am loathe to spend the money and not give the pathetically small content the run-through). After that, I may switch over to Dragon Age: Inquisition until The Elder Scrolls Online drops in early June. I play TESO on my PC already, so I know I love the game. Once it hits consoles, you'll be very hard pressed to get me off of Tamriel. Now; I [i]could[/i] split my time and still check in on Destiny every so often, but what is my incentive to do so? There isn't any, so ActiBungie loses me as a customer due to the way we have been treated with Destiny, and ActiBungie's lack of any interest in retaining its customer base.

Well, they screwed themselves then. Because while I do still play Destiny, in June I'm gone. TESO launches for consoles, and that's where I'll be from there on out. I [i]could[/i] split my time and play a bit of Destiny here and there, but what's my incentive to do so? There's many great, highly anticipated games launching in the next six months. If Bungie wants to keep their trust fund (their Gamers), they need to show us something great enough to convince people to not abandon their game.
