I, for one, don't feel as I'm being slighted by lack of Bungie employee posts. Whatever info I get from the occasional post or update is just bonus info in my book.
Nor do I, I am simply asking a question of the community's opinion on a topic. As a side note, and please dont take this the wrong way, but I wouldnt expect someone who hasnt played this game online(IDK this for sure, but it says so in your profile, correct me if I am wrong, and if so I appoligize) in months, to really care about the actions of someone in reguards to their role in the Optimatch forums and MM in general. Like I said no offense, i'm just trying to say that your view on this would be different from those people who care more about MM.
No offense taken, but I must clarify that wanting to play and having the time available to play are two different things. Either way, it doesnt make my, or anyone elses opinion less valuable. I never said it did, I simply said that your view would be different from someone who plays more commonly.
Personally, I trust Bungie. They have succesfully created games that are enjoyable whether you are a "play if you have the time" recreational gamer like myself up to the 'elites' of MLG. Everyone has minor tweaks they would make to matchmaking, but Bungie has the responsibility of making playlists that enjoyable to everyone. I for one would want the Optimatch forum to be the last place Bungie would look to for ideas. With a constant flood of people who think the game should be catering to them and them alone, I could care less if anything is taken from the Optimatch. Don't assume that I'm saying that there are never any good ideas presented, I'm jut playing the numbers.I understand that, but posters who make threads like that are confronted by numerous other posters. The only ideas generally taken from optimatch are ones met with almost universal agreement, or ideas which have been throughly discussed, so while the vast majority of ideas found there are incredibly dumb, the ones actually taken arent.
I have a feeling that someone yelled, "Hey Sketch, look over there," and then blind-sided him with the matchmaking responsibilities.
I think that I agree with you on this one, but my thoughts are simply that it wouldnt take much time at all to make one stickied post concerning the reasons behind the update, esepcially when he posts in other areas so much. He is a big time regular on the HBO forums, yet he is almost a ghost here. I'm simply saying that he isnt nearly as busy as people suggest, he just is more fond of other areas. All people really want are a couple of posts explaining things and showing that he is reading peoples ideas and thinking about his new responsibilities. He has a very hard act to follow in NoF, and we dont even expect the same amount of participation, we are just asking for a few posts every now and then.
