I haven't played much since the HoW release. I started with the Alpha, then Beta. Then I bought my $120 Collectors edition. Collected just about every classic exotic in the game, persevered through the lack of content and annoying nerfs/Bugs/Gitches/Common Sense misses but this is too much. I was thinking I would come back to Destiny, catch up and get my Chars to 34, upgrade some of my sweet antique gear, get the new expansion, hook up with some of my old Destiny buddies, but Bungie never fails to disappoint! Ah, nothing better than to read that the weapon I called off from work and stayed up all night to scrounge strange coins for to be nerfed! The weapon I spent hours in Crota to acquire, nerfed! "Become Legend" was the slogan for this game. Things are [i]meant[/i] to be powerful, what's legendary about the players is they can find a way around it, a counter. But we live in the day when players don't find a way around it themselves, become more skillful so that they can surpass the challenge. We live in the day when players organize groups, not to get more skillful, but to petition the managers of the game they enjoy to take a way from others so that they will be more comfortable. It seems the developers can't take pride in the fact that they made such a masterpiece of a weapon that everybody wants to use it. Instead, they see everyone craving the gold piece of treasure, so they decide to take a shit on it! "How dare you all want to use the epic piece of gear we designed!". This is evident in the fact that they think posting graphs of weapons people use is a way to convince people that they need taken down a few notches. Weapons that were previously iconic have been reduced to shells of their former self. For what reason? Do we even get one? Why. Can't I play the game I paid money for the way I want? If I gained a powerful item, why must it be watered down? Instead if focusing on individuals that actually bend the game to their will (Hackers/Cheaters) Bungie focuses on the normal, supporting players, and decided to water down all the powerful items that they worked so hard for. Bungie has actually told people NOT to alert them of cheaters, frankly admitting that they don't really care. Glad Bungie showed their true colors before I wasted more of my hard earned money on more of their laughable merchandise.
