Nope, he didnt get alot of attention. There was some hype on the forums and on reddit, but the tumor guy made it into gaming magazines and blogs all over the place, that guy didn't. Just need enough of the fan base to say 'give us what we want' and they will, as proved time and time again with the constant nerf/buff on things in the game that much of the community complained about over the course of months. Is it unlikely this guy will get anything? Of course Is it possible? (with enough fanbase and media attention) sure, why wouldnt it be.

Bungie it's a one time thing
