Look, you're entitled to your opinion, just as much as anybody is. If anything though, I saw those same "snarky" comments as humorous. The comment about them running out of 1600 weapon parts seems to be more humor on their part, or commentary on how easy they used to be to accumulate. It could have been justification for their changes, even. I don't know for sure, and trying to pick apart everything Deej says is not one of my long-term goals in being part of this community (that being said, I still need to break into year 2 T_T).
As for the comment about reserving the right to be the curators of their own living world, they do have that right. But the comment was more about them simply saying that they reserve the right to make changes or revert any changes if they feel they aren't working. They did it for the entirety of year 1, so it only stands to reason that they'd be able to do it for year 2 as well.
Lastly, an important question: if you think Bungie is pandering to fans that don't think they can do wrong, and don't like the way they're running things, then why are you still here? It's one thing to be dissatisfied with the way the game is going, but obviously there's something still here for you. If the bad outweighed the good and you stayed, then you aren't staying because you like the game. You'd either be staying for someone else's sake, or so that you can find something to argue/complain about. However, if the good outweighed the bad, Then you enjoy the game, despite the feel of its current direction. So you have a choice. Leave while you can, or stay for the ride. Either way, your complaints aren't going to take you far.

It was as humorous as "you'll throw your money at the screen." You WANT to see humor because you still enjoy the game. It is designed to be addictive coming from the Skinner Box effect and some take longer then others to wake from that. I'm only NOW coming out of it. I only play when friends need help or because I'm waiting for my new gaming experience.

Correction: I see humor because I'm open-minded and not easily offended (That isn't to say you are or aren't). And actually, I haven't been able to play the new content because I don't have money for it, which makes your "you'll throw money at the screen" comment rather ironic and funny to me :). Fun is, in itself, addictive. As a kid, you want more toys to play with because it's fun. If you like reading, you want more books because it's fun. It's especially true as an adult, when the issues of the real world largely suck the fun out of things. You play a game because it's fun. As for you, my guess is that the game isn't really fun for you anymore, and there's nothing wrong with that. But you still have reasons for playing, which either means the good outweighs the bad to you, or you're simply waiting to see if it'll get better in your eyes. Every person is capable of a degree of mental suggestion on themselves. Believe you can do something, and you're more likely to do it. Believe you can't, and you can't or won't. Believe someone is insulting you, and in your eyes, they always will. Me? I don't know Deej, what his life is like, what he's been through. I know he's a community director, and not necessarily a mouthpiece for all of Bungie. He's closer to being an emissary, or a messenger, and is free to speak his mind as well. I see what he has to say as humorous not because it's what I want to see. I do see it as humorous only because that was my first impression. If Deej wanted to insult the community, a snarky comment isn't the best way, not to mention he could get fired for doing so. Plus, if it was an insult, an apology would have been issued, either by Deej, or his replacement in the event that he was fired for it.
