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 don't see what you're talking about here you're in their game and they reserve the right to mess with their own game. They can say whatever they want to say about their game. They're fixing a problem so stop bitching about it

  • Bungies a pos company. They tried to screw their song writer (the halo song writer) out of his job and money after he pre-made all ten years of music. He won the suit in court and is being payed his share now by law but this shows bungies not the same as when they made halo. Their primary goal is money and nothing else. Fanboys of this shitty game defend them and say its activision and bungies under their mercy but look at the case with this writer. He was thrown to the wind by bungie because he openly fought for activision not to manipulate his work. F-ck bungie. I loved destiny but this game is tons of reputitive crap and timegated annoyance just to keep people playing when it should be our choice to play nd how quick we complete it not theres. [spoiler]bo3 im liking ur shit just like the first 2[/spoiler]

    • DeeJ is not good at apologies. In fact, he's terrible at it. Even Luke "throw money at the screen" Smith does a better job with apologies.

    • To be honest, I think you're digging into this a bit too deep. The comments Bungie made seemed to be lighthearted and meant to be taken as a joke. We need to leave it at that. They are more than aware of some bad decisions they've made in the past. They are trying to fix some of those issues. Be thankful that they do care and are trying to work things out.

    • It's arrogance, the arrogance of those who only give a flying f when it looks likely to hurt their pocket, or rep. Even Cosmo can't banish the tasteless crassness of a certain c manager when there's no real content to talk about.

    • Slow your roll, Beavis. It's not passive aggressive, it's detachment of the professional kind. It's just a game. Chill.

    • They are fed up with bitches like you trying to find every little thing to bitch about. Deej's response was the way it was BC of the shit people on this forum said in reply to the 26.8 average weapon parts comment. Yes, the bungie employee made a misinformed comment, but it didn't deserve a lot of the crap he received.

    • OMG Deej made a joke BURN HIM AT THE STAKE!!! What matters is they are addressing the weapon parts shortage. If he had made that joke and said "screw you guys suck it up", I would understand. He is just poking fun at us. Grow a thicker skin people.

      • Absolutely agree that it seems a joke. The problem of gun parts have generated them, I had more than 1600, many more. But the fundamental problem is not that you have to use them, the fundamental problem is that we had to use too many to raise the level of attack weapons again and again to reach an acceptable level of damage. Infuses a weapon on a 273 by 260 a 280 a 285 a 290 m with a 293 a 295 a 299. That's a lot piece of weapon to have a 299 rifle. This has not happened to everyone and I think there are players who have long been high levels of weapons and armor do not understand. And now what's the solution: lower gold delivery engrams with three coins 280 rifles and armor in iron banner 260 armor in the trial of Osiris and buy a rifle 280 Level 5 Finally the solution seems to be it is that you buy your pieces with glimmer. Pouffe It seems as more acceptable solution than to have a gun attack on a 300 would not have had to use 200 or 100 pieces teach (approx).
