What kind of person do you people think I am? (Destiny)

Cyber. I am a libertarian. I am a political NUTJOB. If think roads should be private. That kind of crazy guy. However, the United States has voted for some things to be run by government. They should not change that if the will of the people doesn't support it. If more people want public roads, we should have public roads. I would never support the government doing something the majority of people didn't want, like the privatisation of highways, but if you asked me if I liked public roads, I would say no.

I don't know why everyone here thinks people can't have nuanced opinions. Just because I don't like something doesn't mean I think it should change. If everyone at a party wants chili dogs and I want hamburgers, I won't suggest to the host to drop chili dogs for hamburgers for fuck's sake. That's stupid. I WILL, if ASKED, say what I prefer. I'll even eat a chili dog with beans even though I don't like beans.

I'm not some entitled dickwad who thinks everything he doesn't like or does like needs to be implemented in Bungie's game. It is their game. It is not my game. I will still play. I still love the game. The game is still the best game I have ever played. One specific aspect I thought was better before 2.0. Don't treat me like a greedy child insisting I get my way, because I am nothing like that, and I'm insulted you guys think I am.

Odd ramble aside, I don't buy your complaint. You whine that some things are out of reach for people who aren't as good as others? Why should the bar be placed lower because some people can't jump it?

It's the same as some dolt complaining that Trials is too hard for him because he wants to get to the Lighthouse, so Bungie should accommodate his skill level.

No, it's not. He's stated VERY CLEARLY that he doesn't think Bungie should change this - just that he doesn't like it.

Why is everyone on his case about this? If I said I didn't like broccoli, would you all try and convince me I should?

I suspect it's what Xenos said, he touched a nerve regarding the idea of fairness in rewards irrespective of skill. I think Funkmon feels that now that we have a way to track collections (if we choose!), it's worse than it use to be that some things can't be acquired by the lesser skilled. The great unwashed will feel worse than ever seeing what they're missing all the time (maybe?).

So there's several points, some of which may be misinterpretations--the idea that the game should distribute rewards evenly. Funkmon's assertion that kiosk screens constitute collections in themselves or that their existence forces people to collect. I suspect many people like the new kiosks and simply don't understand or can't relate to the criticism. (That's pretty much me.)

Regardless, Funkmon's a good bloke and the pushback has been a bit harsh, kind of like some of the exotic quests, I guess. :)
