And I counter-quote with this (Destiny)

You and I are reading his words quite differently. I read "sometime in the future" to be "we have no actual plans to do that in the next 6 months" which - to me - means they aren't doing it, because I'm out after House of Wolves. The game would need dramatic and immediate changes to keep me interested in buying anything related to it that I didn't already foolishly preorder at this point.

Then we aren't reading it differently, you are just giving up before it's here. That's fine, no one is preventing you from leaving, but just because you are giving up before comet doesn't mean Bungie won't deliver before comet. Take these quotes:

"As we get closer to the House of Wolves content update, we knew we had to expand the Vault or the community would not have enough space to store the new Exotics we’re making!"

Note how it specifically calls out HoW and it's new content as the problem they are trying to solve. They are solving nothing beyond that.

"Different players have different needs, but our goal was to find a solution that could deliver more Vault space to the greatest number of people in the short term. "

Contrasted with the... long term solution? Yes, that's right, a long term solution.

"We opted for making sure that players would have enough slots for all Exotics from Launch through House of Wolves"

Though HoW, but not beyond. Meaning they will provide a different solution in the future.

"We know there are a bunch of players in the world who don’t have enough space for Armor and General items. We’ll have a solution for you in the future."

And that's the final nail. Your reading comprehension can provide you whatever you want, but *MY* interpretation of this is that, after describing everything they are providing NOW for HoW, they will provide ADDITIONAL mechanisms post HoW.

Adding features in February that we asked for during beta is not something I consider good.

I rarely get upset, but since when did you get to make requests during beta of ANY software and feel @#$%ing entitled to get that in the next 6-8 months? Did you really have the expectation that you could walk into beta on a 10 year project, make a request, and BAM! You'd get it? Are you paying some sort of insanely large subscription fee to make such requests? Get off your high horse. [/rage mode off]

It's too little, too late. It's not just that I feel burned out on Destiny. I feel like I've been burned by Bungie.

I can completely and calming understand if it's too little too late for you. But please don't try and convince me that I shouldn't be having fun when I am. And don't try and convince me that Bungie is lying and tricking me when they aren't. It's rude and is apt to make me defensive and hostile.

If the pre-launch PR hadn't been so completely different from the actual game, I probably wouldn't feel this way now, but the hype was incredible and the game doesn't live up to half the things that were said which made me excited to play it.

Call me silly, but I didn't get any PR promising anything more than I got. And whenever I did set my expectations high, it was specifically because the company making it was called "Bungie", and I am familiar with all of their previous titles. I had expectations based on their history, which, I acknowledged prior to the release of the game is not fair. They are not and can not be the same development house they were when they made games solely for the Mac platform. Call me a pessimist, a realistic, or just observant, but Destiny for me met the PR expectations and met the price I paid. I personally don't think Bungie lived up to the Bungie name, but that's MY expectation that is placed on them, not something they gave me to me.

If you feel burned by Bungie and are not having fun now, then there is nothing Bungie can realistically do to fix it. For those of us having fun, and have minor problems that could use solving (like vault space) Bungie is doing alright in my book. Could they move faster? Sure. They certainly aren't solving problem before I bump up against them, which would be the ideal time to solve them. Still, they are shooting above par despite not having a perfect game.

May I seriously suggest that you not even play HoW, and save whatever forgiveness you have left and play HoW just before Comet. You'll have given the burn-out a good chance of subsiding, have all the updates between now and then, and miss none of the content you paid for. You might enjoy it more, even if you don't decide to dive into Comet.
