I... don't know what to say, so this will have to do (Destiny)

I know Bungie employee's aren't saints. I know there needs to be some improvements.
But y'all need to calm the bad word here down.

I feel like I need to approach this thread with an antidote at the ready because the entire thing is just seething with venom. I've come close to replying to some of these threads because I honestly want to add my opinion, but every time I think about doing it it just doesn't seem worth it because I feel like I'm just going to get swallowed up in the... I don't know what to call it? Pit of vipers? I mean it's just bad. And I know others who feel the same way.

This is my opinion about DBO right now. Before you talk about Bungie's communication, think about your own.

P.S. This isn't pointed directly at you Kahzgul, I had to reply to someone.

Agreed. I’m on the verge of quitting this place. I feel like I’m playing a different game than y’all and the tone around here has shifted from thoughtful critique to vitriol. I played with another long lost forum member last night and it made me think he made the right choice in stepping aside. I’ll probably stick around to use the fireteam builder, but I don’t think I’ll be reading topics for a while.

Also agreed.

Look, I have two pretty big projects I'm (supposedly) running here, and I've almost completely lost enthusiasm for both of them not because I'm down on Destiny, but because I come here and find a forum page full of 30ish topics where 26ish of them are specifically negative/complaints, a couple of them are unrelated to Destiny (one of those is mine about Gravity Rush 2 so I'm not saying off topic things are bad), and one or maybe two are something approaching neutral or positive. (Yes, I counted the other day. You guys know I do things like that...)

There is a definite problem here. At DBO. Unrelated to how good or bad Bungie and Destiny are doing. And it has gotten out of control. And it either has is is very very far along in driving away the people I enjoyed talking to and playing with. And I'm basically gone myself.

"But I'm just giving constructive feedback" only goes so far and covers so much before a place starts feeling intensity negative.
