This event was horribly coordinated and was a complete disappointment. Something that is hosted by bungie should not be this disappointing. So why was it and what am I asking?
1) The incentive to try and participate in this event: There is no information concerning this event. No one was told anything other then if you play you mite get an emblem that is cool. In reality the only way to get this emblem was to win against a premade team of people who play the game quite well together. To add on to the disappoint train, the only type of players they could face off against were randoms. Do those randoms have a chance? No they do not. Out of all the teams that have fought against them, none have won by my record. Getting to play against them period is harder than dropping a hawkmoon and yet you get nothing for doing so?
2) WRECKnation? Free advertising?: I feel as if this was a horribly attempt to provide subscriptions for a pretty average stream. The stream was moderated by people who would respond with threats for simple questions. Eventually if asked anything relevant or about them they would insult people. After trying to talk for 5 minutes they banned me for asking if they were providing anything if I subscribed. Not only that but they banned people for stating opinions. One viewer says something insulting about (R)apin(G) another viewer and he does not get banned. Another asks for moderation and they ban him. Is this really who you want representing your game? Where is the justice? (Editing that word in because it is relevant, no one should joke about -blam!- the way they did.)
Before this I would have suggested to people to buy Destiny, now I do not think that will ever happen. A lot of people seem to feel like this. Out of everything you could do to alienate casual players, you have made them feel disappointed and cut off from your game.
Upvote for justice. Any Devs out there want to reply?
Will any devs approve of WRECKnation moderators insulting Destiny players, bullying them, and treating them like crap if they do not subscribe?
Edit: If you were wondering about the stream itself, here is a taste of their chat. (For those who do not now, the green swords = moderators)

Edited by occult: 3/11/2015 5:10:38 PMAh, I remember you, mr. Dark-something. I was the one that timed you out because you literally made no sense. 1) Do you even know what a bounty is or how it works? Do you know how matchmaking works in Destiny? The incentive is to get the emblem yes, that's it. It's for FUN, you need to try and match up with them, there is no "sign me up to face them." Matchmaking is completely random because that's how it was DESIGNED. That you think this is WRECKnation's fault is completely retarded and makes you lose credibility as you don't know what you're even talking about. 2) You said you had been on twitch before but it seems to me like you don't know how chats works. Whenever there's a sub we do sub-hype, it's tradition in a lot of channels. That you aren't familiar with it doesn't mean it's "wrong" or whatever it is you're trying to say about it. Also, fyi, before you enter the channel there's a warning about MATURE CONTENT. That you HAD TO ACCEPT in order to chat in the channel. 3) You also mentioned we were "asking" for subs which is false. Subscribing is a way to support both Twitch.tv and tripleWRECK as a full-time streamer. This is his job, it's how he makes his living, you can like it or not, but it is. We don't ask people to sub, there's an automatic timed Nightbot command that links you to the sub/donation page ONLY if you WANT TO. Never once has ANYONE in WRECKnation said you HAVE to subscribe. 4) We don't ban people, we time them out (usually 10 minutes). Again, this shows your lack of knowledge about both twitch and the tripleWRECK channel. And that's fine, you're new. We only permaban for racism, death threats or timeout/ban evasion, all of which are against Twitch ToS. Last night it was obvious the spotlight was on the channel, so we gave out some timeouts to people that think you can say anything you want on the internet. If you're not rude or follow the chat rules (which are stated in the description of the channel) then you don't get timed out, simple as that. 5) I don't even know what you're trying to prove with your screenshots, but one of them actually shows how we moderate. Here's some context: you see a username called Gamma with "<message deleted>" next to his name, you also see a SUBSCRIBER badge next to his name, and below, you see a mod DJPlayedYA, telling him to chill. A subscriber doesn't mean you won't get timed out/purged if we think you message is offensive in any way. We do not tolerate that, and so even if you are a PAID SUBSCRIBER he is NOT immune. Also, lol at asking for upvotes. Have a nice day. Edit: Just read one of your comments below, and I quote, "it seems they are intentionally lowering their level to change how matchmaking places them" - you don't even know how this game works, or how matchmaking works, I was trying to take you seriously but uhh I don't think I need to. Level has absolutely nothing to do with matchmaking, even without mentioning Light level is irrelevant in crucible, it's the stats of the gear that do. Like light 27 arms that have increased reload speed with hand cannons. What am I doing, I don't need to explain shit to you.
