You do realize that this will be completely ignored right? You're about as likely to get a "sit down" with Bungie over this as you are to win the powerball. Honestly, it comes off pretentious too.. "convince me to stay" "does Bungje really care about time invested".. There are still thousands upon thousands of people who like destiny and will continue to play destiny and after the collector's edition hits with a good price there will be thousands upon thousands more who will begin new. It's just a game dude.. a video game.. That's it. 99% of the buyers of this game out there feel the same way. it's just a video game and the general consensus of everyday run of the mill players that don't hang out on the forums is that it's a game to be played until it isn't fun to play anymore.. then you trade it in or sit on a shelf and start playing something else. Personally I am looking forward to quite a few of the upcoming changes and I am not sweating the new weapons because I believe they'll be better than my current raid weapons. Gameinformer has already said that many of the green guns they picked up out powered their maxed raid weapons. I have a hard time understanding why this video game is different than any other video game that's out there.. play until it's not fun anymore then go play something else. I say the more the merrier when it comes to destiny.. and these changes will bring in a ton of new players. And that's good for everybody that loves to play. I don't want it to be some select hardcore only players club. I know that after writing this I will get flamed, insulted and attacked and accused of being bungie's concubine and that's ok.. I expect it because this is the internet and message boards in general are a conveinant medium for angry and argumentative people to express their personalities in all of their glory.. some people take this video game way too serious. It's just a game.. this is just the internet... and Bungie along with 99.99% of your fellow gamers couldn't care less if you take your ball and go home. And maybe we were all just beta player/testers.. Ok.. so what? We all still put in hundreds of hours playing a game that no one forced us to play. We made that choice to fire up our consoles and play as much as we have.. Why does Bungie "owe" us anything? We paid for a game.. We have all had plenty of time to play that game and decide if it's something we wanted to invest our time in. Those that didn't feel like it was worth it moved on.. those that didn't played.. And that's what people pay for when they buy video games. IMO if you have hundreds+ hours playing this game.. you have no right to bitch about not getting your monies worth. Hell I loved dark siders and I have maybe 25-30 hours in that game.. I have hundreds of hours on Destiny for basically the same price. I don't feel cheated or owed anything. And I think the vast majority of changes that are coming next month will be a good thing. And I don't understand the I played for hundreds of hours but I didn't enjoy it.. I was frustrated. Well.. why did you play it then? That's like going into Mcdonald's and complaining because you don't like how they changed the big mac and telling them the big mac tasted like crap and you know because you've eaten a big mac every day for a year! And then complain to them for changing the big mac into something tasty because if you bought a crappy tasting hamburger every day for a year then everyone else should have to eat the same crappy hamburger too.. There is no logic in this.. If you didn't have fun.. if you were frustrated.. you should have sold the game or traded it in on something else. Simple. Don't like the changes coming up.. Play something else. The whole "I've played 600 hundred hours and hated almost all of it" argument is ridiculous. Not just ridiculous but stupid. If you hated it so much why did you keep playing it? I quit Evolve after less than an hour.. why? because I didn't like it. I thought it sucked! Why on earth would I play it for 600 hours and then attack Turtle Rock because I played a game I didn't like for 600 hours? That would be all on me. I suppose if it makes you feel better to make anonymous posts on internet message boards about how unhappy you feel.. knock yourself out. Just don't expect anyone to fall all over themselves making you feel better. because it's not going to happen. They've invested so much time and money into these changes that there is absolutely no way they are going to throw them out the window and abandon their business model to make a small percentage of customers happy. Most people who buy this game don't care about these changes as much as you do.. and the new purchasers won't even know about any of this.. nor will they care because they'll be focused on the way the game is when they purchased it. Play it or don't play it.. It's just a video game. Don't pretend you're arguing about an important social issue. Didn't like the way it was but still played it anyway.. well, that was just dumb and 100% on you. Don't want to play the video game with the upcoming changes.. Don't play it. Simple as that. Use the only way that actually matters to express yourself.. Use your wallet. Don't give them money if you think they're a bunch of lying cheating money grubbing assmuches.
