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.

  • Yea, I've always thought the guys that are the face of bungie are like a bunch of spoiled college students with a science project. "How dare you question my world and the means in which I run it. I could care less you've invested money in it. Now let me drink my Frappuccino and add this cool new looking festival of lights think while the broke stuff stays broke." I have LOVED this game from the very start and still do, but it's tedious and monotonous now and yes I am always the optimist and will probably buy Destiny 2 because I think they will turn around and become a more streamlined and professional company. But my hopes are not high on that thought. I know they get a lot of crap, but they bring it on themselves by not fixing what is broke. All the media about 8 hours to load the maps to make a small change needs to be fixed. They need to outsource their current tools and have them optimized if they can't do them in house. That way they can keep moving and when they get the better tools things can move a light speed and get done more efficiently. It seems the CIO/IT Director/Manager needs to be fired if he can't provide his engineers with a fix or better tools.

    Im more annoyed with the toxic vitriol a lot of these forum users are spouting towards Bungie employees. Talking about disrespect.. They owe you nothing! EDIT: Wow, so now I'm a troll kissing Bungie's ass. I guess that was to be expected from this audience. I'll emphasise my point. People calling Deej/Cozmo/*insert random Bungie employee* all sorts of names for silly reasons concerning a videogame is just not on.

    • I really like how they communicate. I get a layer back casual kind of vibe from deej. Kind of makes me feel as if he is in the mindset of the average player.

      • I kinda like the 'tude. I'm suffering on weapon parts at the moment, and I chuckled when I read it. Maybe that's because I have a tendency to be a sarcastic ass as well. Either way, people are taking the issue way beyond what it needs to be. Everyone's just looking for a new reason to whine and complain at them.

        • Lighten up. You're on a forum for a video game lashing out over a joke. When I read it I interpreted it with a tone of humor. I chuckled and moved on. Apparently you interpreted it with a tone of sneering disrespect. Now, you're posting on a [i]forum for a video game[/i] calling people names and generally just being in a bad mood. I'm not defending Deej because I don't believe he posted anything that was disrespectful, inappropriate, or unprofessional.

                  I personally believe that gay is a sin and that when buying furniture from ikea you should assemble it in reverse to insure that obamas policies on being a democrke and not sending 11 million people to mexico which according to the legi building guide i have got my dick stuck in a toaster over and now i can't even sue the compant that makes ego waffles for it not being their cinnamon chocolate crunch waffles being burnt instead but it really wasn't a burn more of a crisp hey did you know that there's the crisp things that are only made of parmesan they're really good you know what else is good dogs i personally also belie that Koreans should not be allowed to eat dogs but should have to stick to the good old humane beef that we all know was given by god to us humans as a reward for not being a sinning sinner.

                  I agree that it was sarcastic, but it made me laugh. Looked more like humor than a rude gesture to me. Then again, I'm hard to offend. I also agree that they should have had a use for Etheric light with TTK launch, but I didn't expect it. They're notorious for making currency useless. They should have just made it more common for things to require wormspore.

                  Maybe some Bungie employees are just getting sick of this game and all its problems just as much as we are.

                • As a professional, Deej should never let his personal feelings or attitude affect how he communicates to the players. That's part of his job description. However, I don't think I perceived his tone to be as bad as you did.

                • Butthurt your needed in the vicinity. Like for real though...who gives a fck salty ass. This isn't the same as customer service. Half the community probably has no idea who deej is. And he really has nothing to do with anything. ..he is a figure head for us to direct our frustration. He makes no decisions and effects our gaming experience in a marginal way. And Luke smith is a designer...it's like walking into a factory and being like..."why this place so dirty" and expecting more than gtfo.

                • This isn't a new thing for Bungie, even when it had all of its good 'professional' people. Of course I've always hated Bungie's latent arrogance and see a sort of irony and justice that this arrogance is met with a fanbase of passive aggressive nerf nao!!!1!qwerty11!!1! Crybabies.

                • Love this game but op is kinda right in bith fronts. .... And there are some completely brainwashed fan boys out there. I used to play with one. You literally could not even constructively criticize the game without him springing into action. In some weird ways ive noticed that ppl complain the mist about the games they love the most or at least play the most. I consider myself a huge fan of the game and the time i put into it blows all if my friends away sometimes but i will still keep an impartial mindset. At least for bungie i can saying that if not slowly and even retroactively almost amd simetimes where it shouldn't be the case........ Things generally always seem to be headed in the right direction or eventually getting worked out. Ppl get too offended nowadays but i think ppl get most pissed off when it feels the decisions made my the developer reflect that of someone who doesnt hardly play the game.... Just think things could run a bit smoother if the right decisions were being made the first time around. Feedback is important but do you want the game to be dictated by a casual player that pisses and moans and wants to take every shortcut possible.. And be offended every time they die in pvp etc.... Or do you want the most accurate feedback from a player that plays most days and had been there since day one and actually puts the time in to emmerse themselves in the world bungie has created. Many if the answers are right in from of us and bungie included and it seems like they are completely missed much too often. Unfortunately this is the time they will or could lose a lot of players if they arent careful with how they tune the progression and loot system... And overall activities. Everyone knkws this game had a ton of potential.... I can only imagine what a 70 gig download of the next full installment could bring. I would just like to be a bit more secure about it at this point. I havent lost faith in Bungie at all but sometimes i just have to shake my head.

                • Looool I thought it was hilarious this community wants everything handed to them. It's petty funny to read all the crying everyone does on here. Everyone's crying about weapon parts but doesn't even take a minute to think about it and realize that some huge number of weapons were added to the game and of course your gonna be low on weapon parts trying to max everything. Not this community though they want everything right this second. They want to get a gun and max it right that second without much work being put in. Hey lets just make everything possible in a matter of minutes that way we all burn through the game and get bored cause we have everything.
