Lately it's cool to hate (Destiny)

Bungie has always had people who felt it was cool to hate on their games. Halo was like this, as well as Destiny 1.

The popularity of COD and PBUG/FORTNIGHT really tells me that people want to bread and circuses over all else. Even the D1 crucible complaints were a bit overblown or misdirected, as streamers wanted to nerf things that hurt them but not things that hurt other players (SNIPERS).

I think that Bungeie's main mistake in D2 was taking things away from players that existed in D1, notably the boss rush of the Forge and Oryx's council, sparrow racing, 6 man pvp, all gear, and not iterating enough elsewhere to compensate.

The changes to public events and lost sectors was good, but minor. Bungie needs someone to go around and say, "thats a good idea, how do we take it farther?". They have so many systems in place that just seem to be a good push away from being really great.
