Of Trolls & Children: The Guardian Malcontents

[i](TL;DR at bottom)[/i] It appears some of the rank and file need to be trained in civility so I shall address it plainly. Our dear community is horrendously misrepresented by an assemblage of ignorant try-hards. Their unchecked voices have officiously spoken on behalf of a great many who, not only may disagree, but have detrimentally done so without objectivity or reason. To put it simply, we the Destiny community are generalized as trolls; just as incoherent, ignorant, and vicious as those found elsewhere. Are we not better than that, my fellow Guardians? To voice one's dissatisfaction is absolutely acceptable and necessary if Destiny is to be successful as an Intellectual Property. Anyone who adamantly proclaims Destiny is without fault is inherently delusional. And as an accredited Intellectual Property, Destiny must satisfy or otherwise placate its growing player-base or risk failure. Yet this cannot be done from listening to unintelligible caterwauling. To have a defined voice to engender change, a prospective Guardian must submit to civility; they must speak with concise deliverance, weigh their words with tactfully written prose and sound reason if they are to ever be taken seriously. Within the minority, it's believed Bungie listens despite what may seem as being inattentive or negligent. And as it so happens, I'm in the minority. However, I believe Bungie's attention is limited, restricted by the confines of their own community. The Guardian Malcontents that misrepresent the community are barbaric in their protesting. Together, they eagerly hurl abuse at Bungie for an infinite number of reasons, disparage and insult any Guardian who disagrees, and use such inflammatory speech it borderlines on harassment. It is tragic that the wholesale judgment of this community is defined by such unbecoming barbarism. This, my fellow Guardians, is why Bungie "doesn't listen". They comb through forums looking for what players desire and are instead met with far too much derogation. Imagine, you trying to do your job only to have a never ending torrent of insults thrown at you, told repeatedly and aggressively you preform so poorly at your occupation that people want you fired or replaced. And then, once you try to make one step in the right direction, you are scolded and vehemently reprimanded for "not being good enough" and then told you are an abysmal failure. It is a crude way of behaving, even if you hate Destiny. [b]TL;DR[/b] Bottom line: If you've something to complain about, please, for the sake of civility, do so with a measured demeanor and give substantial reason as to why. It benefits no one to stir uncalled for hostility, least of all Bungie or Destiny. Better yet, provide actual feedback if you want something changed. After all, that is what that section is for my fellow Guardians.

  • Funny, I was just reading a posting that Cozmo replied, and had to make a comment because of what people were posting about his post. What I said was: [quote]Cozmo, I feel for you when B.Hats do things like what hey are doing to you here. If I could suggest something for your own forums, since there are so many trolls, and we can "report" a comment, how about an option that allows us to hide anything a troll ever posts. Maybe, let it be a counter, that you have to report someone as a troll with 3, or some other number, of times before all comments from that troll will be hidden from your view.[/quote] If you want to know the post. [url]https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/147441705/0/0[/url] But you are right on, and I would like to see a way to limit, or severely restrict trolls. While I have no problem, with people poking fun at something that was said, I find it disrespectful when a person is only sowing discord by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages and does not try to produce any real intellectual conversations with substance.
