I have to say I read it with this tone the first time I read it. I am also an older gamer and sort of new to this forum stuff as I have got very attached to Destiny. But..... There was a tone in the news report I also read a mail from another bungie employee which was of a similar tone. In fact he apologised for that mail almost as soon as he wrote. I run my own business and think I read between the lines and understand employees reactions. This seems to me that the bungie guys are under pressure from someone on high. I don't think ttk has been a success for bungie and there for Activision. Only a small percentage played TOC. The loot system has added to the grind even more and with the lack of exotics on year two most after a month or so will have most of them or will have the ones that they can be bothered grinding for. The lack of really standout legendary weapons. I mean I still play with my bad juju as an example. With new titles coming onto the market I think it will be difficult for destiny to hold on to there player Base I have noticed a real reduction in my friends who are on... this has the knock on effect because it has been positioned as as a purely team based game and the end content can't be done or even attempted. I think the destiny social experience has been good I can't think of a game that I have put as many hour into, possibly cod wow. For my two cents the game needs a quick rethink or it may fail. As the above problems are self perpetuating and will lead us to the end. Destiny is not for the casual gamer as it too hard to find other like minded people to play with. So that leaves the hardcore players and they are bored. And so the circle goes on. However I think that the news segment was poorly written and maybe he was joking ether way the undertone was there. It shows the danger of who an email or text can be miss interpretated when read by different people. Something needs to change fast bungie or this could and I stress could mean the end. Good luck Bungie I hope you can do it time as I do enjoy the game
