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.

  • Time gating exotics that you already paid for? Haha, this is hilarious, your whole post just reads like a self entitled whinge. You didn't pay for the exotics, you paid to play the game and this is the game you paid to play. Did you get every exotic last year? Maybe, but a lot of people didn't. Did they moan? No. Stupid post is stupid.

    • Well said. Not a toxic complaint. Just a well thought out concern. Kudos for that. I agree with you. Today's update was useless. Almosy as if they were annoyed by the fact that we were annoyed. Deej talks about someone having 1600 weapon parts. Good for him, but that's not the case with many players. Sooo the over dramatic sarcasm was indeed unecessary. No mention of plans for going forward, just a generic statement that we are indeed going forward. With what, fixing past mistakes? That's a patch note not an update. Sorry for the hate you are recieveing. People get all up in arms when opinions don't match their own. Smh.

      • I like the post. I feel deej's comments were in poor taste and came off as condescending and a disregard for players that make it possible for them to have jobs. It's funny, I hope amazing games come out and put a hurting on destiny. Mainly, because it will force destiny to step their game up.

        • I didn't like his dickish tone either On a side note, I already thought he was an asshole by the way he was treating people on the ttk reveal stream. He seem like just another fratboy brogrammer asshole Whateves, I've pretty much punched out anyway and when I bump up finally to the ps4 i wont be repurchasing destiny for it lol The only reason I hadn't bumped up prior was because the AAA franchises i enjoy were still releasing to old gen, now, FO4 only on ps4? Time to upgrade finally lol

        • Get over yourself. We don't need another boring milquetoast community relations guy. If he feels the need to be sarcastic maybe we should look at ourselves as a community and consider how we treat them.

          • The only way any changes to anything will happen is if people stop playing. That will not happen though, too many people love this game despite its flaws. I am guilty as well but at the same time I know they are there and will stop playing if they aren't addressed.

          • Agree dude but darksiders 2 remastered is out now so I will be playing that for a while and I'll keep an eye on updates to see what happens apart from that....good post shame they probably won't take any notice it's a good game and I love playing destiny but this is without doubt the most I've ever played a game before and I think I need a break come back in a few weeks apart from Friday's cause well who doesn't have a nose at what xur is selling! Also I think I have a 3 of coin addiction Starry177 out.

          • Isnt it funny Deej says HAMMER TO THE FACE? Not arrow, golden gun, blade dance, fistofpanix, nobombs, or Stormers. NO. He says HAMMER TO THE FACE. Bungie knows about the OPness of the flaming hammer, they know they broke trials in that area. Yet still no patch. Nothing like going 8-0 and then run into team sunbreaker, and say "oh damn. Sorry jimmay and Al. Looks like were losing this one." And no, its not because jimmay and Al are bad players, its because they get outsupered. Jimmay runs nighstalker, Al runs self rez. Olahmoon also runs self rez.

            • The weapons parts things only doesn't affect the PvP player base. The guys who only know how to use about 3 weapons. There is no need for them to experiment or have fun with other weapons. The balance thing is a product of PvP douche bags as well. The PvP is literally killing this game. There is no story, no advancement, really no reason to put so much time and effort into. That is until you look at it from a business stand point. " so we don't need to actually develop story or a reason?" "No, they just keep going at it and complaining everytime they die! It's awesome!!!" " ok more of that. When we just completely change things they will think we give a damn and keep playing. It's like they think we listen to them." This game has an awesome idea. Money gets in the way. Or maybe they really don't have the creativity to make it good. I don't know. There is nothing but room and space to expand.

              Honestly their probably tired of everyone complaining about everything. When its a work in progress. They are working on fixing things yet everyone is ungrateful and complains and says stuff like oh "6 hrs until destiny dies", or "who else cant wait for BO3 or fallout 4." Seriously they have millions of people playing destiny and who love it for what it is. It honestly wouldnt matter if they lost 100,000 players. Imo please leave everything will better and more peaceful without the whiners. Edit: Just looking at most replies on here i can see most people understand where he (deej) is coming from. A good chunk of people are crybabies.

                Honestly its because so many people cry nerf on something so they evaluate everything and find that ok well since we're gonna nerf this we can nerf that too, my message to all the whiners and nerf chanters, Bungie isn't killing destiny nor is Bo3 or even Halo 5. It's you plain and simple. Your killing it because you can't beat something or your just tired of being killed by a shotgun with shot package. So with that said step back look in the mirror and ask yourself when was the last time you developed an mmo type video game and have please millions of people. So with that said my Rant is over, actually it's not even a rant I'm just speaking for half the Destiny community that could give two s**** about something being nerfed and just want to enjoy a video game, hell I'd speak to you in a sarcastic manner also because I'm sure they're getting tired of hearing you whine and cry every five minutes about something. I didn't take offense to the update because it wasn't directed towards me.... [spoiler]mic dropped [/spoiler]

Im no fanboi, but the constant complaining is what brings it. How bout go to feed back forums and leave professional feed back instead of bitching.

                  • Honestly I don't understand why it's so hard to balance weapons. I mean test the damn things for awhile before u release it in a update. There is no way they can't tell if one is more op than the rest. One week of crucible I knew pulse rifles had the advantage. The weapons part thing is affecting everyone in my clan. I suspect people that have plenty only upgrade a few weapons and constantly play with those weapons.
