They won't "get the message". This is Activision we are talking about here. They have chosen their path with their actions. Millions of people will still buy this game, it's sequels and the DLC for them. They really don't care if people are happy with their game. They know it will be two or three sequels and tons of DLC dollars before people stop buying the franchise. Look at Cod. Ghosts was terrible, and AW did nothing to draw me back. But millions still buy it and drop money on the DLC. I'm not the player they are trying for anymore. The numbers don't lie: Most people who play destiny don't raid, they don't play crucible and the don't have exotic armor or weapons. They aren't trying to please you, they are trying to get more people to play the game by doing things that don't take 6 people to do. They've already got your money. They want more. It looks like Bungie is trying to do what they have done from the very beginning: Imply they can do things and then see if they can swing it. I got the season pass and that's all I'm paying for. One "season". I'm not paying for the comet if it's just going to string me along til the next chance to make more money off of me. So many good games are on the horizon. I'm not going to stick around and watch this one try to keep me interested with smoke and mirrors. Edit: By the way, I completely agree with your stance on the advertising. While it wasn't promised, it was pretty much -blam!-ing implied that there was going to be a raid included. If they want to save face with their fans, as well as draw new players in alike, giving the raid would be a token of "We know we really shit the bed on this" goodwill. But, this is Activision, so I doubt it will happen.
