Two things. Bungie tends to "code" their communication behind buzzwords that disguise the actual meaning. For example, a "Meaningful Choice" is actually choice forced upon the player from artificially restricted options, as a means of maneuvering the player into producing a result that is desirable only to Bungie. Like the artificial drama of "Who's going to win Faction Rally?"....and limiting the number of loadouts we can actually play with via "Enhancement " (another buzzword) cores. A "discussion" isn't an actual DIALOG. Its Bungie watching us talk amongst ourselves about an issue....and then they cherry-pick what they choose to listen to form that array of feedback. Whcih is why they so often misfire when they claim to be giving what we want. Because everything we are saying is being filtered....and they don't respect us enough to come back and check to see if we're being correctly heard and INTERPRETED. The difference between simply being heard and actually being listened to. Also. Don't buy the hype about streamers and cores. Bungie wouldn't dig their heels in this vehemently and this self-destructively....if they weren't getting a pay-off. This idea was put forward because it meets Bungie's needs....and soothes their fears. They need us to grind this game like its a loot game....despite the fact that they can't keep the game adquately supplied in it. So cores is their means---along with raising the level cap every three months----to keep us trapped in a perpetual mid-level item grind. As opposed to an end-game loot chase. To keep us grinding in frustration rather than fun. ...and the engagement numbers are showing that people are getting tired of this.
