No offense, but to be fair you are acting in a similar fashion to what you are accusing. You claim 99.9% and yet we both know you have no real idea what the actual statistics are. Suffice to say that there have been plenty of polls putting forth this issue and each time they remain rather neck and neck, with the majority being against their decision to render older gear obsolete.
The rest of your comment is all your personal opinion, which I'll respect. But that is a two way street. You should acknowledge and respect the fact that there are many on here who feel the same way as myself. Whether if its just a video game or not, that shouldn't matter because it is the principle of the thing. And that is something people should be encouraging in any sense, to any degree. Activision doesn't need nor deserve your sympathy.

"44.7% of players haven't decrypted 25 Engrams 66.8% of players haven't equipped an Exotic item 37.3% of players haven't completed a Strike 79.4% of players haven't fully upgraded a Legendary item 36.4% of players haven't ‘observed' another Guardian 77.3% of players haven't completed a Raid"

Yeah, that shit is -blam!-ing craaaaaaazy, bro.

79.4% of players haven't fully upgraded a Legendary item and nearly the same amount haven't completed a raid but its all matchmaking and not having a Jellyhorns fault right, it couldn't possibly be that the 80% are to lazy to make a clan join a clan use lfg or have upgraded weapons and be prepared to do a nightfall let alone a raid....

Edited by Phreezer: 8/14/2015 10:35:16 PMSure man.. it's opinion.. The part where I claim 99.99% was referring to the amount of destiny players and Bungie staff that would care if you personally took your ball and went home. What was I accusing? I just don't get someone playing for hundreds of hours and then telling the game developer.. you gave me crap.. you owe me something for free or heavily discounted for playing your crappy game.. My only thought was if it was so awful and so crappy why in the world would you spend hundreds of hours of playing it? Someone used a car analogy earlier.. a poor one.. but I'll counter with one of my own. Say you go buy a shiny new car. Drive the hell out of it for a year, put a hundred thousand miles on it. Then the following year the car manufacturer discontinues your model and makes a newer model with more bells and whistles than the car you bought last year. Fixed almost all of the things you didn't like personally about your make and model with their new upgrade. Should you be able to drive that car you've driven for a year back to the dealership and demand a partial refund.. a free upgrade.. a special members only jacket.. (anything for that matter) because you think that car drove like crap and you feel it wasn't the car you thought it was going to be because of the advertising from the manufacturer? Even though you've driven the hell out of it and put heavy miles on it? I mean come on.. In the end.. this is going to be like Sex with Kobe Bryant. You can kick and scream against it all you want..... but it's still gonna happen.

Lemon laws are American state laws that provide a remedy for purchasers of cars and other consumer goods in order to compensate for products that repeatedly fail to meet standards of quality and performance. Although there may be defective products of all sorts ranging from small electrical appliances to huge pieces of machinery, the term "lemon" is generally thought of as applying to defective vehicles such as automobiles, trucks, SUVs, and motorcycles. These vehicles and other goods are called "lemons". The federal lemon law (the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act) was enacted in 1975 and protects citizens of all states. State lemon laws vary by state and may not necessarily cover used or leased cars, and other goods. The rights afforded to consumers by lemon laws may exceed the warranties expressed in purchase contracts. Lemon law is the common nickname for these laws, but each state has different names for the laws and acts. There are two types of warranties. Express warranties are usually statements in writing such as those provided by the manufacturers in owner's manuals and other written sales or advertising materials, or by a sample or model. Implied warranties are broader in scope and assure consumers that the retail product would meet certain minimum standards of quality whereby the product is fit for use for the purpose intended. In each type the manufacturer assumes the liability and responsibility to correct the defect or to repurchase or replace the product. Federal lemon laws cover anything mechanical. The federal lemon law also provides that the warranter may be obligated to pay the prevailing party's attorney in a successful lemon law suit, as do most state lemon laws.

Nice Family Guy reference. But no, I mean just because people have hours invested in the game doesn't really mean anything.I mean bare in mind, the majority of time spent was Pre-Dark Below. Yeah, its a huge ass grind. Yes, we all had complaints about the game. But we also, for the most part, had the Expansion Pass for the game and were expected to get 2 additional DLCs that we were all hopeful for. So we did put in those hours. Then Dark Below came and said "fuk yo couch!" At which point many stopped playing, like I said. House of Wolves came and we already had the pass, so we checked it out. And what was one of their big marketing bits? A picture of the Fatebringer going from 300 to 365 DMG. Ascending for Legendary Gear was the central focus for HoW and it worked to bring a lot of us back. Then TTK gets announced not long afterwards and we're all wondering "why do they keep putting emphasis on Year 1 stuff?" We keep suspecting, and they kept being silent. Now? We have confirmation of those suspicions. I'm lucky, I didn't keep playing after Dark Below. But others did, so they have a LOT more time sunk into the game than I do, and they stand to lose more than me because of it.
