There is a story. You may not like it but it is there. It is intended to be grindy. That's why there are daily missions, weekly strikes. Raid. There are special currencies that are earned by grinding the same content over and over to reach a cap. The raid loot is random and is needed to max level. The non raid gear is timed so it cannot be earned in a single week because of currency cap. These are all grindy aspects. It is what they intended. If you bought it without looking at any reviews of the game or playing the alpha / beta then that's on you. All the signs were there from the beginning. No they didn't come out and say this game will be a grind, but the signs were there. There is in game chat amongst fireteams. The lack of proximity chat is due to Bungie's past history with in game open chat in Halo. It was terrible, there were kids learning to curse everywhere. Every time I played I would have to mute 3-5 kids. They could improve on this system and they stated they would look into it. There are some bad reviews yes, but I bet Bungie is also looking at people playing the game, which most of the people who are complaining about the game are playing the crap out of the game. Like 70-130hrs. If everyone says it sucks but yet people can't stop playing it and keep buying the DLC then what does that say to Bungie?

  • I read it. If the guy had given any proof or was verified by reddit than what he side might have been conceivable but he gave zero proof and only restated a bunch of conspiracy theories from the forums. Bungie denied he worked for them and Reddit removed it because the guy didn't follow the AMA rules on verification. One person says some stuff on Reddit and you believe every word they say. Why? Because you want to believe in what they say. Belief does not make something true though. I think the guy could come out and say he made it all up as well as Reddit, Bungie, the Pope, and the President and you would still probably believe it to be true. This is how conspiracy theories work.

  • Its called non disclosure agreements. He could be sued and face jail time. What about the e3 video where the developers laid out what the game was supposed to be. This game was supoised to be much more. I'm not saying I hate it. I still play. The music, the graphics, the combat. There is ALOT of good in this game. I just feel there was supposed to be so much more.

  • Also Non Disclosure agreements are for Third Party individuals. They are used for when a company shares confidential information with an outside source. Companies don't usually make their own employees sign NDA's because they already have confidentiality rules built into their employment contract.

  • Reddit allows you to verify that you who you claim you are and still remain anonymous. It's described in detail on the AMA FAQ page. Here's how the conspiracy theory works, A different person could claim to be from Bungie or even someone you know who is from Bungie could come out and say that the other guy was a fake and you would still believe the reddit guy. I doubt there is anything that would change your mind on the subject because it is what you believe. Just because you believe it doesn't make it true. I've watched the E3 videos. It's very much like they describe. There were a few changes but that's to be expected as part of the software development cycle. Really in any product. Things are subject to change until the product is released. That is a part of life. The do this all the time with movies. They usually have multiple different endings that they test out to see which gets the best reaction and then they change it to that one for release. Software is a little different because it's easy to plan everything in the world it's much harder to actually deliver. Things get cut out to meet deadlines. Again same for movies things get cut out to fit time, pacing, etc. These things are not owed to anyone.

  • My guess, it means they either like the game or have nothing better to do and are waiting for something else to release.
