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.

Im with you on this man, i know that a bunch people defend this too much that they don't realize the reality of this bs game and if people still continue to play this garbage game ecen with new games coming our, they have a serious problem.
-
The weapons part shortage is a tough subject for me. On one hand I understand that by creating scarcity it slows progression and encourages people to engage in activities like Court of Oryx for engrams. On the other hand, I don't understand why letting us have weapon parts to our hearts' content is such a big deal. So what if Mr. Boss has 1600+ weapon parts. Trade them in to your faction, you miser. Don't hold that tight fisted hoarder be used as the justification why everyone needs to eat own eyeballs to get weapon parts.

But not Cozmo he's awesome
-
Bump.
-
You know what else is in unprofessional Charging 140 for a game plus expansions And then selling all of that for 60 to new players :D
-
You're soft. Pussy.
-
I think he tries to be funny, but he's one of those people who goes through life being incredibly unfunny but no one has ever told him that.
-
If you're fed up, don't play. Right now, you're just a whiny bitch
-
Damn cry babies.. stfu already.
-
How is it snarky? They do have the power to do whatever they want and they're trying to keep all the arrogant children in check. It's funny because I see all these posts about yo eff bungie this and bungie can suck that and now you think they're being "snarky"? Come on. Don't be so emotional.
-
I love this game. Play everyday, I agree with some of your points, but Bungie has come a long way in terms of appeasing the player base. In my opinion it will never be perfect, for the simple fact Bungie is always going to try and manipulate playtime in order to please investors. They've become more concerned with $$$ since joining with Activision, but I suppose that's the world we live in.
-
Part of me hopes that they rescind the update, quit acting like a child, quit pouting, and quit stomping your feet. Play the -blam!-ing game. Who the -blam!- cares about a snide remark? I sure don't. Get your panties out of your crack. xEndRantx *bipolar activate* have a wonderful day :D
-
don't blame them , with all the 10 yr old babies on here
-
I saw them comments today and I agree.
-
Calm the -blam!- down, it was a joke.
-
It was a joke. Not a great joke, granted. But a joke never the less. Calling everyone that disagrees with you "fanboys and dickriders" does not further the discussion.
-
Anyone else like this guy alot?
-
I fart in your general direction. ...
-
Sensitive much? lmao
-
Have you actually read the forums? You can't really blame any bungee employee for talking down to the community after the hate and abuse they get here. Honestly I am surprised they bother to post at all. I don't agree with the way they are screwing with the game or the way they just don't seem to understand how to fix any of the problems but that is no reason to disrespect them.
-
criticism is part of being a "game developer" the part that is wrong is his response to the community, not to whether they have a right to tinker...you get respect by giving it...
-
Why do you think it matters. There are obviously a much larger percentage of us who enjoy the joking and informal style of weekly update, but of course we should drop everything and protest because [i]you[/i] said so. How dare they offend you O' great one. He who's opinion is more important than likely 90% of the forums. Just -blam!- off an learn to take a joke. Just because your sense of humour was violently murdered when you were younger doesn't mean the rest of us can't appreciate jokes. Just delete this post altogether please I fear it may give me cancer if I stay in this thread too long. [spoiler]holy shit I said the word cancer. I bet that triggered you. Here's the thing; I DON'T -blam!-ING CARE!!!!! You are a classic example of why the idiots in feminist groups and many liberals get hate.[/spoiler]
-
I actually laughed out loud at his boss' weapon parts, I thought it was genuinely funny.
-
If you don't like it just leave and don't come back.
-
This is how Bungie has always been dont like it or if you are offended by it leave or dont read the updates its really that simple.
-
Agreed
