Passive aggressive inappropriate tone from Deej and other Bungie employees

Ive been noticing an increase in the amount of disrespect from bungie employees on community forums. Just look at todays weekly update and the extremely snarky and sarcastic comments from Deej such as "omg he only has 1600 weapon parts left we need to do something" and "we hold the right to do anything with the game economy we want." Does anyone else think snarky comments like this are very unprofessional? Like Bungie you act like your some sort of hero for fixing a problem that YOU created. Here is a comment from another post that explains my thoughts perfectly, all credit goes to user Wahrnye "Just another joke of a weekly update that makes it easier to not look back on this game going forward. Announcing the weapon parts change - Fine, but that's a fix to a problem THEY created. And when addressing the fact that THEY created this problem, DeeJ wraps it up in unnecessary snark about being curators of THEIR living world. Hubris to the highest degree; it's almost as if they're saying how dare we question their choices? Let me say this next part slowly so the apologists can understand: [i][u]Etheric Light and Wormspore uses should have been in the game since September's launch, not something coming soon by December.[/u][/i] They knew Etheric Light was a thing that many people had plenty of and they also introduced Wormspore (apparently) without any regard for what to do with it outside a few weapon upgrades. IIt's going to take them almost 3 months to finally make these things meaningful? These are all issues they created by poor planning or bad oversight, not something they should be praised for fixing AFTER the fact. The rest of the entire update was about the same tired PVP bullshit as almost every other weekly update. No news on new content, no commenting on the terrible loot system - especially in regards to raid drops (I love doing the raid and getting a fourth duplicate item at 302 light... ) - or the fact that Nightfalls, Strikes, and Court of Oryx ceases being rewarding once you reach 300 light or more. I've seen this playbook before. Between this and Activision spouting off their easily manipulated "registered user" numbers (aka 'investor math'), they've pretty much already decided they're going to pander to the base players who believe Bungie can never, ever, do any wrong. Nothing will change going forward. Bungie and Activision are living in their own echo chamber - as evidenced by the fact that they spend more time conversing with the "community" on Bungie-friendly outlets like Reddit and Twitter..." EDIT: A lot of you seem to think im just looking for something to be offended by cuz im a "no balls toxic loser" Its more im just fed up with the bullshit direction this game is taking like timegating exotics that i already payed for to extend gameplay time and patching things like weapon parts for no -blam!-ing reason Perhaps the most irritating thing is the bungie fanboys and dickriders who will stop at nothing to defend everything the devs do to this game and every word that comes out of that douchebag known as Deej's mouth. Go ahead meet me with ninja justice for stating the obvious about your shit company and bottomfeeder fanboys EDIT2 It seems the common defense for Deejs tone is "oh bungie has to go through so much shit and complaining on the forums, people are meanies" You people cant seriously believe its ok for a company to retaliate in this fashion. Oh no a game developer has to see negative feedback about the game they made wahh wahh prayers for bungie" All of you are saying "can the entitled/offended generation go away", if you ask me the people defending bungie with this mindset are the "offended generation." Some of you say, "The customer is always right bullshit has to stop." Anyone who utters this is a complete moron and has either no concept of business ethics or is 15 years old and thinks they are being righteous and hip. Go ahead, start a business and whenever a customer has a problem with you or the product, tell them to -blam!- OFF. Yea thats a good business model, you will surely succeed.

  • I read that part of the update and thought, [i]damn, Deej has become one hell of a cūnt. Doesn't matter if you hate the community you represent, it's your fricking job to interact with us and understand the problems in the game, so please act professional about it.[/i] To me, he sounded like an unpopular, bossy class monitor trying to act tough.

    • 1 Deej is paid by bungie. 2 Even though he his a Community "Manager" he does not interact on the community level. 3 He only puts out what Bungie tells him too. 4 he sucks at destiny 5 his mother still folds his underwear. 6 yesterday Luke Smith had him bent over his desk. 7 sucks at destiny 8 plays with my little pony in the end I really cant trust any one that is paid to be a stooge.

        • I didnt find it even remotely aggressive, passive or otherwise. They simply stated what was happening as well as trying to make light of their mistake. Bungie knows they messed up with the nerf to weapon parts, and they are trying to defuse the situation with some humor while they work on actually fixing the issue.

          • I think the comments could be taken either way, good or bad. Personally, I think they're just scrambling to fix things and keep users with things they should have fixed months ago. It almost appears as though they don't have an oversight team to think about these things before they release them. Of course I'm not working for them, so I wouldn't and couldn't know for sure.

          • I agree 100%. They are very unprofessional and disrespectful people. They talk to their customers like they're children who are asking for w yacht for Christmas. It's ridiculous and I can't believe people are actually defending them.

          • I still haven't even got the 10 super super super super SUPER rare relic iron material for the damn sword i've had since week 2... i'm SO glad they brought back the ridiculous grind in a game that it shouldn't even be a part of only so i can never get the damn materials because it's like a 0.0001% chance to proc... the stupid perk on the ghost to track relic iron is crap too. range is too short, sniper rifle to extend the range, but then it also still keeps track of relic iron you just collected from...

          • Honestly the update reads like Deej just doesn't give a shit anymore. The whole thing. There isn't any flash or upbeat tone. It reads like a cantankerous old Irish man reading off the daily announcements.

            • This has been happening since launch. Bungie launches an update. "Oh our bad lets fix that" launches new update. "Oh crap we messed something new up we'll fix that in the next update" next update: messes up more stuff and never fixes old reoccuring problems. This has been bungies case since the game's launch. So none of us should be "suprised" by any of this.

                Sure, it was a little mean, but seriously, they DO have every right to free speech as we do. You people insult Bungie daily and they don't care. They insult you, everybody loses their minds! Relevant pic: http://ifunny.co/fun/vbR9wSeN3

              • It didn't even realize his comments were offensive I just thought they were horrid disgustingly sad poorly made jokes that he usually makes I'm new to the forum but I already can tell shot storming is fun it feels good to put anger into pointless things like how a shity joke like this can go in a comment section By the way though forum are more Finney than tweets just looking at the rage of you guy is hilarious so our you're looking for rage humor this is the place

                  • I bet Deej is doing the fattest line off the breasts of a really attractive prostitute, laughing as he reads this. I bet the prostitute is also laughing. In fact he's probably gone out to dinner at an expensive restaurant using the money you gave him for the game to pay the waiter, which he'd previously used to sniff said line.

                      • A lot of the stuff Bungie puts out there is passive aggressive bullshit or some snide remarks about their most dedicated players. It's like they don't want people to take this game seriously and just enjoy it casually. Like I'm waiting for the day we get customs in PVP but that shit ain't gonna happen cause supposedly PVP is supposed to just be casual fun. Sorry that this game has some of the tightest shooting mechanics in any fps and that id want it to actually be competitive.
