You know everyone in this thread loves this game, right? So when the thread is being "negative", it usually means something is wrong. That negativity is a time for reflection and criticism where we open the lid to discuss issues and propose solutions. An ongoing discussion communicates the weight of the issues and weeds out impractical proposals until a concensus is reached. That's what the feedback loop is. That doesn't mean everyone has to agree with any one solution, but rather that we grow in understanding what the problems are.
The reason that feedback may seem like "rants" from me is because of people who are making the feedback about me. We're discussing the game, not whether or not I'm trying to steal Datto's internship. I created a thread for this discussion a week ago and the overwhelming amount of responses were about the way I wrote my post and not what I wrote about. Prior to that, I had taken time to articulate my points in a constructive manner and it was still dismissed as a "negative rant from some guy who is salty about one gun being ruined". Who has patience for that passive aggressive garbage?
That meta discussion is why the thread spirals out of control.
I respect that you do not want to be surrounded in a negative environment. It can sap the fun you get out of the game, and that's understandable. I don't participate in threads where people are tearing up something I like.
Nevertheless, when something is wrong, ignoring it and "staying positive" does everyone a disservice. If you disagree, state your piece and engage in the discussion. But don't impede it because that dialog is what leads to improvements that benefit everybody. Bungie mentions time and time again that they want feedback, so why are you getting in their way?
