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.

    • Compared to the amount of absolute shit they get 24/7. Especially Deej. They have a right to take whatever tone they want. Seriously you people drag thier name through the mud on a daily basis. When they said they would be banning the ToO cheaters 90% of that post was absolute hate and disrespect. And this was something people were complaining about since Trials was released. You want respect, show respect. If it was me I would have closed down the destiny forums a long time ago.

        • the only obvious statement you posted is that you are a little bitch that can't handle a joke. its rather simple, if yo don't like the direction this game is taking, go play something more to your liking. there is no need to write an essay on how you don't like Deej joking and having a poke at some people. look at the continuous hate he gets. but its unprofessional for him to poke bake a bit? yup, little bitch confirmed.

        • Not being snarky but here is an idea that works, vote with your money. Stop playing their game, stop buying their crap, yank down you Bungie profile, don't buy future editions.

        • I agree with this post so much. I never say this but...I'm fairly certain a vast majority of players will move on to other games before the end of the year.

        • I agree. Thing is, they are milking us. How much are milk cows respected? Bungie reads these toxic forums and thinks themselves smarter than most of us. Problem is they've made many mistakes with this game and they need to drop the attitude.

          i'm just an old gamer who played on commodore 64, atari, philips2000, nintendo, sega and all the ps consoles. I suck at PvP and do my best in PvE. i'll carry my own weight in all the raids made more than 1000 hours in the destiny universe and read the forums but dont react to much on all the BS that young guardians give here. So the only thing I can say is that I like this game. i like the way its changed the past year. almost everything that didn't work in my view bungie changed ( bigger vaults, destiny apps etc) sure this game isn't perfect but better than the CoD crap i played the last years. I like the grinding and playing with my mates and I got the feeling bungie trys to improve the game. Its impossible to react on all the wishes of every single guardian. i'm astonished by all the hate that some people give on the forums and suprised by the time they put in to tell the world this game sucks. if you hate it just leave and spend your quality game time to other games but No WAY you must tell the world what you think about it. Just an enormous waste of your (game) time in my view. Like capt. james T Kirk would say: "beam me up Scotty this planet sucks"

          • Lots of hate on you. Not sure why when what you quoted is correct. If people want to call he community toxic... it is. It was made that way by the hand of bungie. Because of their lack of fulfillment on promises. Their cut content, which I still don't know how people think it wasn't. It's all just -blam!-ing rediculous. Bungie is the abusive husband that slaps their wife in the fave then says come back baby it'll be okay next time. That's why the community is toxic.

            • I get your concerns dude and for that "bump" but things don't change overnight...and they can't address everything at once. Having said that it does show a rushed product, a small lack of quality control or for-thought but at least they are always working on it. Be patient...I've learned to wait with some things like not dismantle or discard ethric light - I still have it waiting for an update from bungie. I've also been burned by dismantling weapons too soon before TTK. What can you do...at least they are responding and I'm sure they are scrutinized constantly for it.

            • I don't disagree the update had some snarky "-blam!- you guys" comments. But I wasn't offended. I thought it was funny. Those snide comments are directed towards people like you that keep bitching about everything they do. Next week you will read a new sarcastic as f*ck update of them "acting" super nice to you and all the oother whiny bitches that do nothing but complain. Suck it up. Go get laid and relieve some tension. If you are like 12, then I feel bad for you son. I got 99 problems but my age ain't 1.

              • I agree seriously everything you said I was thinking after reading the news. It's all problems they created by nerfing the economy in the game to hinder players and gain more player hours. Come on look at this raids loot systematic design to keep players grinding it every week. Why in this raid bungie employee's thought it was a good idea to put light level on the RNG wheel? The Grind is real when you get duplicates after waiting a week and your light level is still the same by the end of the raid. #Rewarding
