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.

    • Actually i would prefer if they just said what they thought, instead I bet they make rough drafts, edits, more drafts of their carefully worded posts. Would much prefer honest raw oponion instead of pandering to a crowd.

      • To be perfectly honest, I think there's more important things to worry about. And this is coming from someone who plays Destiny all day every day lol. And also if I were Bungie I'd be disheartened at all the cruel posts on this forum attacking them on every front. A few smart comments is well deserved lol.

      • Im sure it costs time and money to make updates. Doing something nobody wanted and then undoing it was just an unwelcome waste of money we put into their hands.

      • TAKE COVER PEOPLE THERE'S SOMEBODY SMART ON THE FORUMS! Actually spot on mate. Anybody disagreeing with you is moron who probably can't tie their own shoelaces. The economy is an absolute joke in this game.

        • The tone was a bit condescending I agree. But I think it was just a harmless dig. That said, I do agree with you on several points. Especially the drops... The aids dro--- er, I mean raids drops are worse than awful this time around. They need to address drop rates for virtually all game types. 3 of coins, iron banner, trails, kf hard mode... all are hideous now.

          • PVP is woeful right now, matchmaking is broken, laggers everywhere, weapons suck ( 2.0 update is horrid) loot tables are messed up and Bungie don't care one bit, they're working on the next Micro transaction...meanwhile Halo 5, COD, Starwars, Fallout etc gain former Guardians enmass. They'll probably listen sometime, maybe next year when no one plays this game anymore.

              It's condescending and borderline obnoxious. It makes me want to vom in my own mouth everytime I have to read one of their updates.

            • Put a lot of effort into the post, good job for telling them how you feel about it. It's the only way to make a change brother.

            • For me its simple. Activision don't give a -blam!- about the quality of the game they would happily sell you a piss soaked rag if you were willing to pay for it. They just want money. If that means micro transactions and chopping up a single game into DLC to get more money. Then so be it. If consumers continue to put up with this it won't change. Bungie do care but have to keep people playing but seem to be doing it in what is a cost effective but incredibly lazy way I.e. make an easy tweak to core resources instead of let's throw in some new challenges. So now people have to grind glimmer for weapon parts. Poor solution to an issue that did not require fixing in the first place. The vague excuses for why they changed this core resource made no sense but its obvious ....we want to use it to increase the grind. They keep micro managing the game unnecessarily in this fashion. Playing on peoples addiction if you want to look at this in a sinister way. So go play other games that don't have these issues and revisit if a DLC is worth playing or they stop -blam!-ing with the game. TTK was fun while it lasted. But for me its time to move on.

            • Don't get me wrong, I'm well aware of the fact that Bungie has made mistakes regarding changes to Destiny. But let's be serious now. This community has harbored nothing but hate and maintained a loathsome attitude towards Bungie from the start. Now they decide to get a [b]TINY[/b] bit snarky (rightfully so might I add) and everyone gets even angrier? If someone was constantly rude, sarcastic or spiteful towards you, would you not bite back at some point? Regardless of professionalism, I'm not surprised we finally got a smart remark back in the update.

            • Awww Deej hurt your feelings? Dry your eyes son. Come on don't you think it's great that this game gets updates and information regularly last on these forums? Yes it's not a perfect game but in the year I've had my ps4 every other game has been played and now gathers dust.
