Shacker, I know you've been behind 100% of the community posts I've made so far, so I'm interested to hear what you think of what I have to say now. (Disclaimer: It's late, and this is my first impression on everything that's going on right now, so bear with me bro)
I'm all about forward progression. I can completely see why Bungie would want to try and phase out alts, and keep their forums open to those who have played their most recent title. With that being said, for those of us who have been around for games earlier than that, those who have had ACCOUNTS LINKED before now, do you not see some exception being made for those few people?
Why should someone who has a one year account, with a linked tag that's played destiny but hidden from public view, take precedence over someone who has a 5+ year account publicly linked with Halo legacy stats attached?
Are they not worthy simply because they haven't played the newest title? Does their existence on these forums, previous to this title not count for something? What if SonicJohn, CAVX, or Yoozle decided to show up, and post again, but couldn't because they haven't played Destiny?
Not at all trying to condescend or have any type of a tone, but I am certainly a little upset with this ruling. I'm absolutely not trying to project at you at all either, and have a huge respect for what you have to say, so in turn, I say this to you to see your response.
Much love for putting up with my crap bro. (m) TWP 4 lyfe.

Edited by Shurshacker: 10/1/2015 5:01:16 PMHey, man. I don't know about any exceptions, and I don't know if that was or could be a viable option. From DeeJ's post it was clear to me they want to move forward into a new era and also patch a system which made it far too easy for members to operate under a posture of zero accountability. I really don't think it has anything to do with being worthy or not. The team that made the new policy reviewed the data and that data supported the decision. I think it could have been handled differently, but I have nothing to do with anything policy execution related. Due to the new policy, many members will be inclined to act and post with more caution because bans will hold more weight now. Much less than 1% of [i]active[/i] members didn't have an account linked to a Guardian with Destiny play history. And a percentage of those very likely played Destiny, and all they need to do is link their accounts (I came across two legacy members who were able to get squared away yesterday). Could it have been handled differently? Probably, but something had to happen and the benefits outweigh the negative impact. Stay cool. #GetWorkPLaced

After the initial emotions have subsided I'm seeing this much more clearly now. This kind of a clean up move has been a long time coming, I'm preaching to the choir by saying that. I think more than anything, it just felt like another really insensitive rollout, and I'll admit, I probably over reacted. Thanks for the reply Shacker, always good to hear from you.

I'm feeling the same way too. Last night I had a really hard day and came home to this, so suddenly. I kind of let my emotions take over and I rampaged last night which was very immature; even though I made a few valid points. There's a lot of ways around this and I feel pretty bad for the older members, who given the circumstances, have no way to link their accounts. This won't stop serious troller's, but it should at least clean up the forums a little bit. Next I'd really like titles brought back and to have stricter moderation like the old days. At that point, nobody will even want to have alts pretty much.

It was abrupt, for sure. And I truly hope the negative impact is as minor as anticipated.
