Dear Bungie, I understand your decision to decide to not allow cross platform play, especially when it comes to competitive multiplayer, and I realize it may be too late to change course this late in the release cycle. It seems the disadvantage is inherent in a very specific scenario, as far as has been explained, and that a player's TV/display might have just as big or more an impact on swaying the outcome. Given that, is there any reason you couldn't have let the community comment on the idea?
Personally, if a few deaths in competitive multiplayer was due to someone else having slightly higher resolution than I did and it bothered me that much, I would gladly upgrade. But more important to the spirit of the game, I would be more than happy to tolerate that freak anomaly of a possibly imagined disadvantage to get to play with all of my friends. That would be the greatest gift of all!
How about you community? Is a possible chance of a very specific slight disadvantage too big a price to pay to get to play with all of your friends, regardless of console?

I do hope Bungie watches the forums and considers this seriously. Up until today my husband and I were really exciting hoping we would get to play with each other on Destiny. It would be one of the very few games we both enjoyed enough to play together. He prefers PC gaming where as I enjoy my consoles. We are both really disappointed amd kind of sad that we won't be able to do this. We have a lot of fun gaming together since he works so much. Its a nice time when we can do things together. I really hope Bungie will reconsider this.
