Open invitation to any Bungie developers that would like to have a discussion with the forum community on investment and progression

We've now had 7 months of feedback as well as a couple posts from Coz and dmg asking for further feedback on the topic of infusion. The forum community has discussed it to extreme lengths and piled up mountains of feedback on the current investment and progression systems and how things like Cores and "meaningful infusion" affect the player experience. From those discussions, a large segment of this community don't feel we've seen any real actionable solutions to the problem. As a community, we don't feel that these closed discussions amongst ourselves are having any real impact and to the contrary, the relationship between us and the studio is becoming increasingly strained by the growing frustrations and perceived lack of understanding from those making the calls at the studio. We are aware that there is another community summit happening next week and it is our hope that there will be a better representation of views that take into account more the everyday player who isn't looking for Destiny to be a job. The Summits are a good thing and I know I personally hope they continue with new voices getting a chance to go and share their thoughts on the game with each one. That said, this community would love to have forum Q&As with developers on various topics from time to time and discussions that truly go both ways with real give and take vs only our closed talks that are summarized and relayed. We believe this will only serve to strengthen the relationship between the everyday player and the developers and lead to more talking to each other and not as much at each other. This was done to great success in early D1 over the topic of PvP and with the current growing divide between us, would be a welcome sign that these thoughts and opinions we see posted here daily matter. If you want to join us, Bungie, we'd love to talk. Thank you.

  • Lost, you know what would really help the forums get their point across? One thread that was clearly and concisely written airing all of our grievances and possible solutions. Then upvote the hell out of that puppy showing a unified front to the studio. What we have however, is a flood of threads with half or no thought process going into it. Several of the "Anti Cores" threads that I've seen dominating the front page is just a copy and paste argument from one person who left the forum months ago. Any civil discourse goes out the window when someone disagrees with the OP, no matter how polite or civil the post is. "Bungo Shill" "Koolaid Drinker" "Fanboy" "Deluded Idiot" "Dumbass, lol" Even if you aren't siding with Bungie, you're instantly downvoted and set to mute by the rabid base of copy and pasters who can't keep a valid argument going for more than five minutes. In my twenties, I had no problem verbally dueling with these people and would do so for [i]hours[/i], but now it just gets old. I've been here since the Halo days and remember the epic goofiness from those times. I remember when you could argue with a CoD fanboy for an hour and then crack jokes about some crazy stuff you pulled off in the crucible. First Light was a good map for that. Now thanks to the idiots and the trolls, you can't even have a discussion on any subject without it devolving into the same old tired cliches. TLDR- If you want to make a solid statement that the entire forums can stand behind, then make [b][i][u]ONE[/u][/i][/b] thread. A thread where we can all upvote and have a concise and fact backed place to plant the flag. [i]Down with the lazy Copy and Paste Idiots![/i]
