A toxic community is the direct result of lying to, and ripping off your customers.

People complain about how toxic this community is. Yet they fail to realize this is simply the result of bungie's decisions. Think back to the last time you put hours of effort into this game and got nothing. You were frustrated right? You finally achieved something difficult and got... nothing. Hard mode King's Fall, finally beat Oryx and you get a 301 gun... What?! You spent hours running strikes in year 1 to get enough weapons parts for reforge rolls, to get that perfect perk set on your gun. Let's say it took over 100 rerolls at the gun smith. You love this gun and use it all the time in pve, it works just the way you like it. It perfectly matches your play style. Now it's useless in the Taken King raid and missions. You've put days worth of time into a game that could be great, only to see it devolve into microtransactions. This is after paying for DLC, which was really just cut content from vanilla destiny. You realize bungie is simply activi$ions bitch and is conditioning everyone to accept microtransactions, eventually leading to pay to win. This feeling you get is frustration, disappointment. The more often it happens, the more negative your feelings are about the game. This is simple psychology. Bungle specifically designed the game mechanics around psychological tendencies to get us to play more, like gambling addicts. The net result? Eventually everyone gets fed up, angry and disillusioned. I'm a day one customer and love what the game could be. It is incredibly frustrating watching bungie turn it into Farmville via microtransactions. So quit bitching about a toxic community. You'll join our ranks eventually. As we all know, the game is dying. These facts are simply the result of bungie's actions.

  • The gambling and the fact that microtransactions involve random drops has really made me disapointed. I have been defending this company and game for a long time but the eververse part really grinds my gears.
