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.

  • While I agree the tone I got from the weekly update was a little off, I honestly think it was more of deej having a shitty day in the office than any animosity towards the community

      • 1.) The first comment was poking fun at another Bungie Employee. 2.) The other comment was the truth. Really, stop being so thin skinned.

      • LOL! Another USELESS post. It reads like an addict who can not get enough smack to get him through the weekend. I discarded my Etheric light because you know what? WHO CARES....seriously. Bungie I don't have enough weapon parts but I have too much wormspore....help I can not play this game ENOUGH. Bunch of wacko birds.

          I think you're reading a bit too much into this. I agree that they've made some changes since TTK that I really wish they hadn't (Elemental Primaries!!), but take it easy on them. They have jobs to do, I'm sure they've never purposely done things we don't like unless for reasons we can't comprehend from our side of the fence. Truth be told, if I was sitting in his chair I would not be able to hold it together after all the whiny, immature babies here on the forums. Kudos to them for not posting a big FXXX YOU!! somewhere in the game:)

        • I enjoy playing the game. [u]I don't care [/u] about the politics, just the game. I'm spending all my time with halo coming back once a week to raid. Every company has someone who says something that will piss some people off. As far as bungie goes I like them (they're not the best but not the worst) I absolutely hate Activision though. What I'm getting at, I don't understand why you are focusing on what somebody said instead of playing the game. [spoiler]some people like drama I guess [/spoiler]

        • If I had to read forum posts about bashing me, I think I'd be pretty agitated. DeeJ probably held back by not calling all of us douchebag elitists, which is what a lot of us are.

            I miss the old days when a company would actually care about their customers. Now it's all about greed and people defend it like it's some sort of God. It's not. It's making gaming less enjoyable. This "less for more" crap needs to end. Why should I pay full price for something that's missing so much? It would be like buying a cake for 39.99, and than them telling when you take the cake that you can only have the one piece, but for an extra "x" amount of dollars you can enjoy the whole thing. Doesn't make sense does it...and not many people would be buying from that store. So why are we letting huge company's that make millions and millions of dollars treat us the same way and take advantage of us?

            • Passive Aggressive, I do not think it means what you think it means. That was humour. And "In all sincerity, as the curators of your living social world, we reserve the right to tinker with the economy. We also reserve the right to change our minds again once we’ve had a chance to read the forum. Thanks for giving enough of a damn to tell us what’s up.In all sincerity, as the curators of your living social world, we reserve the right to tinker with the economy. We also reserve the right to change our minds again once we’ve had a chance to read the forum. Thanks for giving enough of a damn to tell us what’s up." Is him clearly saying that they're listening and learning from their mistakes.

              • It accomplishes nothing to insult everyone, right? You have concluded that a off hand joke about weapon parts is a direct insult at all players, when in reality it's just a joke. You then proceed to insult and decry anyone with a dissimilar point of view, and then get even more offended when, against all logic and reason, people insult you and call you names. My God. The temerity.

                • All I heard from Deej in that weekly update was "Hey player-base........Suck it! WE DO WHAT WE WANT HERE!" Kind of disheartening being that I do really like this game, just not what it's turning into. On the other hand.... More time to try out some Fallout 4!

                • I'm confused why you brought wormspore up. Are there uses for helium filaments, spinmetal, relic iron, or spirit bloom other than weapon/armor upgrades? Why should wormspore get any different treatment?

                  • I know when I read it I thought to myself how the F does he have 1500 weapon parts? I don't even have 50 on any one character! It was definitely a stand out statement. So much so I had to read it twice. I also agree that raid weapons suck! Doesn't even compare to the desire to obtain any of the raid weapons of the past. The only reason for obtaining them is to infuse them into something else. I miss playing for a chance to get a Ghorn or the fate bringer. Those were worth fighting for.
