Exaclty, and I thought they would of known this with Activision running the show. Would of known that mmo's are not like other games. MMO's take constant support which equals cost. Without a way for steady income aka sub fee or micro transactions it slowly drains profits from enitial sales. They had a good idea....use DLC's to recoup that profit. But give your players what they want or they will not buy. With the first dlc they have pretty much just lost xbox consol oweners.....whats gonna happen on dlc 2?
To do a turnaround (speaking to people with business degrees lol) they need to 1st Truly stabilize servers. 2nd equal conent for all consols 3. Fix end game loot rolls 4. Fix glitches but dont mess with mechanics aka Atheon random teleport.
If they could do these and a few other enhancements (say player chat) they could very well be successful but I don't see them listening or caring.

Well if you look at their original [url=http://documents.latimes.com/bungie-activision-contract/]contract[/url] they were supposed to have micro transactions and the upcoming DLC may actually be a "mini" DLC compared to the DLC referred to as "Comet #1". But as you say, no one will buy the next DLC if they don't give players what they were originally expecting in the base game. I can deal with exclusivity deals and weekly nerfing/buffing but for me there are two things that can [i]start[/i] a turnaround: (1) set up a system to motivate grinding for gear. Right now the only reason to get gear is to use it to...get more gear (i.e. just repeat strikes and raids). I can't slaughter people in crucible with the stats on a new exotic or discover/unlock new parts of the world with my better stats. (2) make social interaction and grouping easier and more fluid/integrated with the game. I don't see them doing any of this in Destiny #1 though simply because of their contractual agreement and development timeline with Activision. Supposedly they need to release Destiny #2 in 2016. That doesn't leave a lot of room to fix and adjust the first game.
