Constructive criticism vs hate vs blind loyalty

What is the point of the "feedback" forum? What purpose if any does it serve? Recently I read from Cozmo that this forum is for us, the players, to have a voice. And here we are, talking. Talking to Bungie and talking to each other. There seem to be three groups in the feedback forum. Those who give constructive criticism, those who spout hate, and those who are so loyal they have nothing negative to say about the game or bungie. The first group, those who give constructive criticism, play the game and see that it isn't perfect. And because they want the game to be better or would like to see improvements made, they take the time to sit down and write out their ideas in an effort to communicate with Bungie. Some times it works. Vault space was increased because the community asked for it. Buffs and nerfs keep happening because they are listening. Improvements to the UI may or may not be a direct result of community feedback. And yet this group is under attack by the second group, haters. When I say "under attack", I simply mean haters coming to posts with constructive criticism and spouting hate at the OP and anyone who agrees with them. For haters, there is no middle ground. You're either with them or you're with Bungie. I've seen well written articulate posts dismissed outright because the OP dared to suggest that Destiny was worth playing despite flaws. In the hate filled dismissal, the hater usually accuses the OP of being a "desticle" or fanboy. They suggest that any further support of the game is a useless gesture and the only true way to see improvements is to boycott the game altogether. Haters live in a self induced fantasy world filled with a delusional sense of self importance where they are the center of the universe. They feel that if we would just do as they asked, things would go exactly as they say it will. What they fail to realize is this simple truth. Destiny isn't going anywhere. It is, and continues to be, a successful game. There are so many players that aren't on these forums. People who enjoy logging in, playing, and logging out. They don't read the forums or have any idea what is being said here. But the haters want you to believe that Destiny is in trouble and that if we boycott the taken king, we will soon be reading news on IGN or elsewhere that Destiny is no more. That activision pulled the plug and Bungie is suffering massive layoffs. Sorry haters, that's not going to happen. It's simply unrealistic. Destiny is a juggernaut, like it or not. Edit: http://m.ign.com/articles/2015/09/17/destiny-the-taken-king-is-playstations-most-downloaded-day-one-game-ever?utm_source=IGN%20hub%20page&utm_medium=IGN%20(front%20page)&utm_content=1&utm_campaign=Blogroll Which leads me to the third group, those who blindly support the game without ever speaking negatively about it. If you aren't willing to see things for what they are and make suggestions on how to improve them, then you're not helping make the game you love better. You're telling the developer that you're happy with the game as is. And if that's the case, why should they ever make improvements? One of these groups serves a purpose, the other two do not. If we are to make a difference, it is clear that constructive criticism is the only effective way to achieve that goal. Hatred or blind loyalty achieve nothing. So to all of those who don't offer constructive criticism, you can continue to beat your collective heads against the wall, or you can join us and open a dialogue with the developer in order to help us improve our experience with Destiny. The choice is yours.

    part 2: you know, played many games in my life, gamer 100%...played fallout, skyrim, mgs, re, so many games...played games where you could feel the love of the devs at every corner in their game...saw dlc's comming, giving you stuff that blew you away, lets you think, wow, what a great game, dlc with new content with more to explore, more to get lost in, feeling you would freely throw more money on the screen to get more of it, feeling the creativity...with destiny feel there's nothing like that...sometimes felt do always the same, realized how addictive it made me, felt weak, when realized how it was pure addiction keeping me in game...honestly, is there much in it? i guess no...but items (which i already have all btw now) were waiting...but until now still hoping, as even me, a big criticizer can't deny its superb gameplay, the potencial that it has, what it could be...but sometimes, when i see what there is, sadly realize what IS isn't much :( still tried to love it and then have bungie with shocking moments after shoking moments...nerfing everything i started to love, then TAKING away everything i started to love :( came to the point that we vets are unwanted...this game was made by less effort, not much new to come...nothing anymore for vets...but enough for any fresh guardian activi could drag into their darkness, fresh money and fresh guardian hunger... so to you op, maybe you right, maybe you wrong....but if i'm right, then you maybe too one of those blind followers...if i'm right then you one of those that activi deems worthy to stay with them...knowing all the crap, but still open the wallet.. to me, even the moment i write this i realized, i may not, so realized time to move away...sometimes maybe take a look for changes or not... to all those who take their time reading this...this wasn't well-thought-out, but directly written as i felt like, so pls excuse any bad grammar etc...also for my bad english...maybe could be i'm totally wrong, maybe some agree...however, everyones opinion's worth, so thx for allowing me mine ,) peace out to all guardians out there! edit: with my bad english, having only a handful words to try to put alll my expressions into was already hard and maybe doesn't express exactly what i would say when written in my mothers language, so pls excuse...but nevertheless hope that somehow ppl get an idea of my point...thx edit 2: want to mention again what i already did before...although you might doubt it op, respect the way you try on this case, although somehow believe that it's maybe also some of the addiction already mentioned, keeping you in game, however...point is, that with this tactic you could be 99% right at any other forum, any othe devs and publisher...but you here not dealing with any common company, but with the darkness itself...there are no compromisses, it's eat or die! look at mentioned successes for ONE YEAR and you'll get the proof...it's only pay to stay or move away...nothing you can win m8, with the only option for dissatisfaction a close wallet...and sry, as said before, i maybe wrong and time will tell, when saying that destiny's future never will be as bright as many hope for it to be....not with this pll in charge that only proved lies until now...empty phrases and betrayal on their community... p.s. i truly hope that i'm wrong with everything said...
