Great analysis. And thankyou for stating what should be obvious. We want our time in the game to feel meaningful and rewarded. We want to bring our weapons into the future. We dont want our weapons obsoleted. I was watching a video on worker motivation and performace which I feel applies. Ive mentioned this in another post but will repeat it here as it applies to what you are saying. They did a study on this and the results were largely what you would expect. They studied 3 groups. The first group their efforts were praised. The second group their efforts were ignored. The third group their efforts were literally shreaded infront of them. They gave numbers for the results but I will just give the simple conclusions. The first group clearly performed better than the other 2 groups. The third group performed the worst and the second group performed better than the third but only slightly better. This was a highly credible university study on human behaviour and psychology which Ive simplified to make the point that disrespecting peoples efforts is demotivating. It is a well studied and established natural human response and bungie is effectively shredding our efforts before our very eyes. We do not have to be happy about it and it is perfectly reasonable to express that we are not. Sadly the game is going to suffer if they continue in this vain and I for one am not buying into this if this is their 10 year plan. I already see the polls reflecting this as theres been a significant shift of people no longer buying ttk. It was about 45% buying 25% not buying and 30% undecided. The poll I saw today was 28% buying, 54% not buying and 18% undecided. This may have changed but was about what it was when I saw it last. At one point it was 60% not buying ttk. Even if its now 50% this is quite a shift and a direct reflection of peoples reaction to and feelings about the latest news.
