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.

  • 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.

  • Funny all the defenders of bungie on here. Any other business disrespects customers that way, and they fail. Some of you would swallow a load from them laced with cyanide, while the beat you of with a flesh light full of razor blades, and smile about it.

    • Merp. DeeJ thinks he's a comedian but he's not really funny at all. I think it's more a fact that all his jokes miss. Anyways he gives no ducks, and you cant really blame the man.

        • Nah you're part of the problem with society as a whole. People are way too sensitive and are getting too soft. Is this really something to get bother by in the grand scheme of things or is this just another for whiners to whine about. Grow some hair and grow a pair, life isn't sugar, spice and everything nice

            • Nah. He's a community manager, even if he wasn't, I like that about game devs. Indie game devs and community oriented companies are great in my book.

            • But the bungie people get treated like that for their errors that they create, that could of not happened in the first place, like the weapon parts, there was no major issue or harm in destiny, and now they have to fix it because it was their fault in the first place. There have been several issues were everything was ok until a random update on an issue that had little to no effect on the game, and they screw with that and then it makes a huge ripple effect.

            • This community is so toxic and disrespectful, I would not be surprised if the employees at Bungie would be tired of it, and feel rather abused. Imagine being in an art class, creating something you're real proud of, and only being torn down during critique, and constantly criticized when all you want to do is be successful at art! Same shit here. I see the effort Bungie has made, however corporate decisions will always be there to throw a wrench in the cogs of creativity. What really helps growth and change is positive reinforcement, and constructive criticism. If the community showed more of that, Deej and others at Bungie would be less prone to be on the defensive. Jeeze, they're human too, buddy.

              • It wasn't being sarcastic to you. He was being sarcastic towards his boss and making sure he's happy. I've seen multiple posts about this. Stop assuming all text is negative and aimed towards you. This forum is full of such whiney jack asses. When you finally get what you want, you co plain about the package. Hey everyone! Bungie is leaving Activision, giving you all free consoles, free games and DLC. Getting rid of microtransactions, building a pc version, going to 60fps. All loot can be obtained for free, or through RNG and they will create separate game worlds for all. Everyone will even have a dedicated server in their house!!!! So please... Find something new to complain about before they think we don't care.

                We need old school Bungie forums. Ninjas banning all these prepubescent children who think four letter vulgarities are the only language. If I worked at Bungie, I'd be tired of the abuse. To the point it pissed me off enough to be an asshole.

              • Considering the forums and the abuse. Why is that so unprofessional? Look at the amount of shit on the forums and aimed at them. Noone deserves that. It's not so different for the past 8years of weekly posts.

              • Apologist here, I think? Problem is, they are past the age of giving a darn about the same things most of the base players who come to the forums to moan care about. They are looking at stats and profits. I, for one, didn't come to Destiny for the forums. I came for the game itself and stayed for the friends I play with (also I enjoy the game.) The forums are a good outlet for people, but at the end of they all they care about is business. If the percentage of people whining on the forums is too small to make an impact on profits, they won't do much of anything. Over the last year, since joining I have seen the forums turn into nothing but a never ending b!tchfest. Because everyone has an Internet voice, they want to offer their opinion. Everyone is a critic. -yelpers anyone? Haha And look, someone is going to come and make a reply to this post that tries to contradict or dismiss me, and that's cool. Just know that I won't actually be reading it.

              • I agree. Did not like that tone at all. But, I degress, its to the point that this was expected, as usual. How depressing is that?
