Well said OP. While I myself am skeptical of implementing fan ideas directly into the game without a strong Dev filter (because people are [i]people[/i]) maintaining the developer's role as creative architect doesn't mean that you stop engaging with the cultural side of video game design in a genuine and human way. Though Bungie certainly has their business interests to consider which having a frank discussion about the state of Destiny, what lead up to it, and where the game goes from here might in the short term undermine its to their long-term benefit to build more constructive relationships with their consumers. IE. to reach the point where we can trust what they have to say (as otherwise there's no possibility for effective communication.)
