Maybe it was a family member playing on the account. Nonetheless, an employee like that shouldn't be working at Bungie. I don't care how talented he is.

Meh, I'm always up for a little bit of banter, interested to know who it was.

I would assume it's more than likely one of the QA guys...

Let me know!

 

[AmateurHour212]

look up the clan, it specifically says "Clan for Bungie employees only"

Just because it says that doesn't necessarily mean it's true. I'd also be very surprised if he worked for Bungie.

hey DGAF, I have been leveling up my wifes character on her own account since Sunday. went from level 1-30 in 4 days, not bad. I haven't even got either Vangaurd or crucible to level 2 yet lol.

Yesterday I was playing skirmish for the bounty. now Ill be the 1st to admit I am not good at 3v3 crucible. in fact I suck at it. anyway. my brother-in-law and I was playing skirmish last night for the bounty and we got paired with a player named Jacob with the clan tag BNG Crucible. I know this to be a Bungie employee only clan so I thought"cool, you don't get to play with Bungie employees too often."
well, I did badly. mostly due to my own skill in 3v3 but also not having sufficient guns for this type of play. Only been playing this account since Sunday.
after the match was over and we lost, expectedly so, my brother-in-law gets a PSN message from Jacob that says something along the lines of "you suck GTFO" and I get a message from him that says "trash".
Now I dont really care for this type if stuff, but to come from a Bungie employee I feel like I got spat in the face from a retail associate.

Should I seek retribution?
Is this type of behavior acceptable from an employee of the company of the game you paid money for?

I feel employees of the company should be held to a higher standard than the general populace when it comes to professional behavior

what should I do GAF?

Just ignore that asshole. Clearly not a Bungie employee.

That's not banter, it's insulting your customer. Secondly, it demonstrates a huge ego. If I was Jason Jones, I'd fire his ass instantly.

Everyone is replaceable.

I say you should post a picture of this message for Kotaku to blog about it.

 

[Lnkn52]

No it's very real that it is a Bungie clan,
I looked at the list and know at least 1/3 of the people within it have them on my friend list.
The clan leader is the head of crucible design too.

Well with this fiasco and the Thorn nonsense, I would say that have alot of explaining to do.
On Your Next Weekly Update...

 

[E92 M3]

Yeah, Rob, post a picture of this message.

Good Luck Cozmo on your first weekly update....

If I can get details I will try my best to get it resolved as soon as possible.

 

[k1t4j]

Anyone planning to do some PoE? 32-34?

Or some HM Crota Atheon?

Wow congrats!

I need to try soloing it! How hard was it?

Edit: Uhhh i cropped it too much by accident wait there >.<

Ha. Ok. Everybody relax. I'm still skeptical. Either way, a big, deep breath is probably in order. Even if it was a Bungie employee, are you really going to waste your time on something so petty? Did it really offend that much? Perspective.

Two completely different clans with the same Name and Tags.

Who knows, I tweeted your original complaint to Bungie. Not sure if they'll bother replying.

 

[Iceman829]

No way that's a Bungie employee. Did you look at his PSN profile? No creator would spit on their own customer. That's absurd.

Bungie turned heel after leaving microsoft.

p.s. Buy our DLC $40/$80CE

They shouldn't reply. Less than 0% chance it was a Bungie employee.

What gives it away is that the Real Bungie Clan has a taller "L"

 

[PrivateWHudson]

They used the unstabie trick.

 

[Arrrammis]

What gives it away is that the Real Bungie Clan has a taller "L"

It looks like the "fake" Bungie clan used a capital I instead of an L, which is how they were able to make a second clan that looks exactly like the real one.

 

[Skele7on]

Yeah that good old Bungie capital I looks like lower case l

 

[AmateurHour212]

You tweeted to them without even verifying it was true?

Nice, keep feeding the social media machine of bullshit.

I'll have less respect for them if they reply.

I've solo'd it before but not without any deaths. I missed the jump from the second lamp in the abyss, so I went the solar grenade route. I always get nervous starting around deathsinger, but I got some good tips from sc_slayerage's video. Of course gjallarhorn makes things a lot easier.

GAF should use a little common sense next time too.

This is the kind of witch hunt that get people in a lot of trouble when they're innocent.

Anyway, not to be a blow hard, I'm in a better position than you to get a reply from them.

 

[purg3]

lol that gif. Detective gaf always wins.

 

[Lnkn52]

This page is full of LOls

Funny as that also stands for Letter of Intent.

 

[piratethingy]

Is there anyone on DGAF who knows some of the folks at Bungie?

 

[LiK]

Not my job to verify anything.

Not sure why you're so worked up over it. Calm down.

Yea, I get it. You're special for making a popular parody account. Keep telling us that.

I don't really consider DLC insulting lol.

Oh, that's a lower case “L”.

Well yes actually, I was noticed by Bungie and am in somewhat a more elevated positon to get an interaction than some nobody throwing around false claims of abuse by staff members without getting full information first, "it's your job to get involved, but not to get it verified as fact before getting involved" How about you don't attack me after you've been made out to look like an utter prick next time.

 

[Raybunny]

Anyone up for PoE 32 34 35?

 

[k1t4j]

Anyone up for PoE 32 34 35?

I have a titan for that ^^ if you are on PSN.

 

[E92 M3]

Alright, folks, lets not get into an argument about this. Thankfully, it wasn't a Bungie employee as most of initially suspected.

It kind of is your job to verify, bud. Clearly, you're missing the point. You carried on misinformation. I'm pretty sure this thread has skewered companies for doing that in the past yet you seem to think it was ok for you to do it.

Again, common sense and perspective, work on it.

Just a friendly reminder to preorder now before the digital store sells out.

I tweeted them the post so they could take a look. I don't need to verify squat.

And hey, you're calling me a prick for simply passing this along to their COMMUNITY MANAGER. Good for you. Welcome to ignoresville.

Yes Ps4 what is your PSN?

After the whole Luke Smith ordeal at that... I'm certain no one from Bungie would make such statements at other players.

I'm actually surprised that the "troll" bungie group even exists, I would have thought Bungie would disband it to avoid such situations.

 

[k1t4j]

Kitaj84, will log in in 1 minute

Hahah, so far only Forza got digital preordering right with the 5 day early pass.

I like that Bungie is trying to allow freedom of expression, even if it can be a little intrusive.
