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.

  • Okay, Deej doesn't get pu$$y so we have to remember that. I would be snarky too if I never had tail. Second Deej knows that I would drop his deteriorating looking ass.

  • Nah they just know they've got a lot of people hooked who either deny/ignore/don't know or don't care about it. Bungie/Activision know they're now puppet master's pulling the strings and they'll get away with it. If people get fed up with it and leave it doesn't really matter because the influx of new people to destiny more than makes up for the small amount leaving. Which creates a circle of new players who'll take a while to get fed up with the bullshit and leave, by then more dlc or destiny 2 will be out which will get them more money and the cycle will start again. Bungie/Activision know what they have..and know what they're doing..

  • I see these comments in the updates as failed attempts at humor. I don't take them as snarky at all. None of these issues are life and death matters. Let's all just relax and try to enjoy the game. Why so serious? I for one am not going to take up arms for a silly comment that is aimed at such a diverse audience. I may be naive but I just assume a lot of the things said may not directed at me. C'est la vie!

  • No. The real problem is the gamer of "today". Most are entitled pricks who think every little thing that's not right in their eyes is something to bitch about and hold against their game's developer and publisher until they do shape it in their favor (which therefore upsets someone else). Listen. You may have bought the game, and that gives you the right to use it how you want to, but you're only entitled to what you paid for: which was the base game and any expansions you've bought. You're not paying for any free updates or patches which deprives the developer of their money to go to another expansion or free update potentially. As far as I'm concerned, Bungie has every right to fix or leave alone whatever they want, so long as it's not game-breaking and/or makes the game unplayable, which would make you in the right about complaining. You know why DeeJ said all that? Because it's true. Most gamers of the modern-day era are self-entitled and make everything about them. Bungie holds every right to not do a thing to ever improve the game, but they do it anyway. Be thankful we have a developer who actually cares. There are plenty of games out there that never receive any attention post-launch. Rant over.

      I wouldn't say the in -game problems were mistakes, i think they're done on purpose. As for the arrogant behaviour - spot on. However i do feel sorry for Bungie employees though. You try going home from a hard days trolling with nothing to comfort you but a huge nest of cash, that can't be easy.

      There's so many things in this world that are more worthy of your ire. Am I defending Bungie? Hell no, they're a very dodgy company these days. But when it comes to things that are worthy of your dissatisfaction ... c'mon, this is so petty.

      • Why are people peed off about weapon parts? Just do some strikes and pick up engrams and dismantle the weapons. It wouldn't be a game if they just give us everything. The player has to actually play the game to earn equipment such as weapon parts, armour materials, spinmetal etc.

            I don't have a problem with him being sarcastic about the issue, but I do take issue with the proposed solution. Having to buy the extra weapon parts from the gunsmith is still needlessly increasing the time we have to play to get back to where we were before they took something away from us. It isn't fun. They should set the rates at which we earn weapon parts back to where they were before, in addition to allowing us to buy them. As it sits now, we are still going to have to go grind glimmer to get the parts we need. Still a step backwards from where we were before. Also while I'm on the subject, it takes entirely too many parts to level up the new weapons, especially exotics. If I already had a fully leveled year one version of a weapon, I shouldn't have to pump a bunch more parts into the year two version just for the hell of it. Once I unlocked the nodes, putting the exotic shard from the previous version into the new one should have sufficed. Same with armor. I shouldn't have to re-grind all this crap that I already had. It's ridiculous. I look around and see all the stuff I have worked for, only to have bunjie take it all away with the next dlc. Again, not fun.

              • Well, I hear your points. Here's the deal: Bungie has no -blam!-ing clue what they are doing. They make a great looking shooter with pretty good mechanics. It isn't the best: at anything. They can't program the stuff they aspire to and they can't game design at the level we want. A master doesn't have to back track and apologize. They are learning as they go. I've come to terms with it. Destiny is a B+ game I toss in when I'm bored now. Too many other amazing things to do in life and other games to sweat it.

              • It's really a shame to so many in here will defend Bungie to the death even though Bungie shits on them all the time. "We would like more weapon parts Bungie." "Oh really? Okay, so we'll reduce the amount you get from dismantling. You're welcome. By the way, visit Tess for some dance moves. Just remember to bring your wallet." I lost respect for Bungie after they had Luke Smith insult us all. But thar was just a joke riiiight? Spend money on what you already have for dance moves cause... money at your screen. Quitting Destiny was the best gaming decision I made in gaming choice. It's so relaxing thar I can play other games and not worry about stupid shit a developer will purposely do to increase grinding. I use to grind for Legendary weapons in Borderland 1 and 2 (way better shoot and loot franchise) it was tedious but it was rewarding as hell.

                • Not to mention that all the raids besides King's Fall are worthless now. "Oh but it's for new players." Wrong. Many friends have started playing Destiny in Y2 and are already Light 290+, hence defeating the purpose of VoG, DB and PoE. I feel like I'm at a standstill in content and can't wait for FO4 and SWBF to come out.

                  • Well in their defense, it is their game. If a game starts tanking they no one to blame but themselves. And from what I've been seeing it is on thin ice as is.
