It's not surprising, of course they fixed it. Anything hurting their profits was bound to be a priority. But did they fix it completely, no. People who deleted things can't get it back, people with two or more of the same character can't get another set. Sure, that's coming, but they pushed out the fix that benefitted themselves straight away, with the players needs being addressed whenever. They fixed the engram glitch, great… but did they bother to reimburse the people who unknowingly wasted their engrams? Nope. Not like a boot engram glitch hasn't happened before either. Seems like they care less & less about the people playing the game, look at Tess for instance; sparrows & horns aren't sold individually… if they cared about the player, they'd let us buy exactly what we want, instead, they let us buy a chance at what we want, knowing some players will continuously gamble until they get it, going from one payment to getting several. Because Bungie are now snakes and are slowly turning the game into a story-less cash grab. Any new DLC in the foreseeable future? Apparently not… plans for more "free" events backed by extortionately priced items, yep, guaranteed. I know these things are optional, I don't think the micro-transactions are a bad thing, just the pricing. How is a basic feature like a record book deemed to be worth half the price of the Dark Below or House of Wolves DLC? It shows Bungie will dress up the most basic features and slap a price tag on it. Then add a "Vol. 1", so when the SRL conveniently leaves & no doubt returns, they can charge again for Vol. 2. It's a shame, but more effort goes in to lining their wallets than it does enhancing the player experience. TL;DR - Cashgrab.

  • I still can't comprehend the fact that imbeciles don't understand how business works. They did not screw you so what's your gripe?

  • You call people imbeciles yet can't wrap your head around people not in business lacking business knowledge? Hmm. No, they didn't screw me, you're right. But please don't be so naive, the way this game is going is really quite plain to see now. They changed their entire rollout model to the one that benefits them the most, is that good business sense, absolutely. But other companies at least deliver a product of reasonable value. I'm my opinion, Bungie don't. Instead, they release DLC's that don't apply any sort of currency conversion, they skimp on actual, varied content & when they do add content, they bring with it cosmetic items or "books" that are stupidly overpriced.

  • There is a very lucrative section of Destiny's fan base who's sole reason they need to buy anything is the opportunity to do so. If you literally just out a price on it they'll buy it.

So shouldn't we call [i]all[/i] of them out? Seriously, the ignorance train needs to stop. You people seem to think Bungie is the only that does this kind of stuff, when they are just another in a long line...

I'm not particularly fond of any RNG micro transactions, but I'm not about to add a disclaimer that calls out every other dodgy implementation of RNGMTs at the end of my critique. My point still stands. If Bungie puts a price tag on something, no matter it's worth, so many drones will buy it.

  • Bungie certainly aren't the only ones that do it, but this is a Bungie forum, therefore making it entirely reasonable to direct our comments at them.
