I would forgive so much if Bungie actually cared at all about the live game. For example, it took them nearly 5 months to fix the heavy ammo glitch. There's so much that's broken, flawed or unused in the live game, but it won't be touched til the next major release.
The Diablo team is pushing another major patch out. Look at it.
20+ sets are being balanced to make them more appealing. Class perks that are never used are being reworked or rebalanced. Flavor text is being tweaked. Perks are having better descriptions added. They're totally reworking several of the major legendary gems. They're even adding a few reskinned monsters.
Then look at the massive Blue post at the end. Clearly explaining changes, directly addressing player feedback.
They do this 2-3 times per year. With tons of previews and open play tests.
DIABLO HAS NOT HAD ANYTHING PAID IN TWO YEARS.
Meanwhile, Bungie has a pathetic 6 people on a live team doing micro-transaction events and tiny little bug and sandbox fixes. The closest thing to blue posts is DeeJ posting in b.net saying "I've passed this along to the team" or Lars saying in a tweet "Side arms and Icebreaker may make the special ammo change a bit wonky." Meanwhile classes didn't get rebalanced at all til last December, and only Titans because "Well, we thought they were fine."
That's it? Really? Year 2 is hardly better than Year 1 here. In fact, it's worse.
I'm salty because so many of Destiny's problems are self-inflicted. I'm salty because so many of the problems could be addressed outside of a yearly update.
I'm salty because the problem with Destiny is Bungie. And after 2 years in, I don't see that changing.
