The natives are getting restless (Destiny)
It confuses me why this is an 'argument' in the first place. What is it about the suggestions I made that makes them so abhorrent to people on this forum that rather than provoking a reaction like, hey yeah, that could be really insightful and interesting! people get their back up and start defending Bungie's current course of action as if they're above criticism or suggestions for improvement? It's a pretty common theme on this forum that criticism is met with Fisking. Can I ask that you try and see it from somebody else's perspective for once?
Love the condescension - really helps me want to have a discussion like this.
The problem is not that nobody understands your perspective - the problem is that you're asking for the same thing you've been asking for for weeks (months?), and it's something that Bungie has, many times, said "thanks for your input, we're not going that way."
I'm not defending Bungie's course of action - I'm accepting it, and personally appreciating it. I understand that you're not - but that's not going to change the fact that they understand what you want, and have said, repeatedly (and politely), that you're not going to get it.
There are people here who LIKE that there's very little info about how the game is played - are you saying that your opinion is more valuable than theirs, that they shouldn't be able to answer your request for greater transparency with their own hope for a launch day (or beta day) surprise? That disagreement with your point of view is automatically placing Bungie above criticism?
