[quote]Our main issue is the whole thing with bright engrans[/quote] This is probably the least important of the concerns voiced by the community. Eververse is a pretty fair way to have microtransactions. They're almost entirely cosmetic and your progress through the game isn't really helped or hindered by them at all. No one likes microtransactions but if they absolutely must be in the game then Eververse really isn't that bad. The real issues for me are drastically nerfed abilities, static rolls, 4v4 and crappy exotics. When you add static rolls to a game like this there is almost no incentive to keep playing once you have the guns that you want. That's the real problem.

Sure. Blame Activision too. They're the real devil behind how mediocre D2 was.

That’s simply wrong. At the end of the day, the decisions to implement things into the game falls to Bungie, and so too does the blame. The big problem is that the dev management is ultimately caught up in one huge circle jerk and that they are only making changes that they feel is best for themselves rather than what is best for the gamers. [spoiler] You know why you see people complaining about various issues that end up filling the Trending page of both #Destiny and #Feedback? I’ll tell you why: it’s because all those people hate the shitty changes being made in the first place. A good example would be the rep system for factions. Everyone was used to that system because it actually rewarded you for doing activities. You got a rank-up package that guaranteed a faction weapon or armor piece. That was that. Sane thing with Iron Banner. You hit Rank 3 or 5 and you were guaranteed IB gear. Also, gear would actually drop in IB so grinding for a set was realistically possible and if you didn’t get a certain piece then you’d be able to buy it up front from Lord Saladbowl if he put in stock. So, what happened there? Why did that system get thrown out the way it did? Nobody likes an unrewarding grind, yet you could play up to 20 matches in D2’s IB to turn in tokens for a package, only to end up getting generic gear that can be obtained literally anywhere else in the game. That crappy design slows down hardcore players from reaching a goal while also hurting the more casual playerbase that D2 is now aimed towards. If it was to slow down players from playing too much in too little time then it worked, albeit at the cost of turning players away from the game altogether.[/spoiler]

I don’t agree. If the Bungie employees had morals and cared about gamers, they should leave the company if they are being forced to create and implement exploitative tactics that target gambling addicts, children and simpletons. But they have no moral quandaries about these things because it’s all about money with these companies. Super Mario Odyssey will likely win GoTY from many outlets. Mario has two different types of currencies in the game and guess what? No Microtransactions. What?!!!?! You actually earn all cosmetics and currencies in game?!?!?!! And people like this game?!?!?!

-blam!- you, fanboy. Bungie willingly partnered with Activision. That's the truth, stop pretending like there was some hostile takeover by Activision. Bungie CHOSE TO DO BUSINESS WITH THEM

Bright engrams most certainly are not the main issue. Idek where you got that from. People dont like them but there are way more issues with this game than just micro transactions.

I left my drink in my car while I was at work today and when I came back out it was flat. Thanks Bungie.

Community deserves a lot of blame to Cry cry cry wah wah wah get rid of this get rid of that.. so they got rid of everything, including all the fun Good job scum bags

No it’s Bungie’s fault for signing the contract with Activision. No body held a gun to Bungie’s collective heads and forced them to sign that contract. Bungie is responsible for all the design choices within their game and that’s where the majority of problems lie with this franchise.

Bungie definitely put the xp scaler in D2. It's still stupid for people to be mad over it.

My car is just one problem after another thanks to bungie!
