Hey Death...Recon posted several pages ago that this is not a support site.
Where did I ever say it was a support site?
Don't let that information stop you from acting an ass.
Prehaps you should stop trying to be a smartass and attacking people on statements that theyve never made.
When the Bungie staff interacts with us, it's because they want to. When you demand it, it makes them want to even less and thus reduces the chances that they will in the future. Then why give one of them the title "community guy" if he isnt supposed to at least in some part, post in the community.
And based on your replies, if I am understanding correctly, people who are unable to "contain their enthusiasm" and respond loudly, rudely, or abusively, those members should be removed from the site. I think that there would be a lot of people removed (and returning using alternate accounts) because they couldn't maintain civility. And do you expect that when they come back on that 2nd (or 22nd) account that they will be more or less outspoken?
No, I was refering to people who flame or attack bungie officials, as you guys have used as an excuse for your lack of presence on this site.
Just look at what happened with a handful of members who thought that Jeremiah was their scratching post regarding 1v1 or Clanmatch. Now add BTB and other "my favorite list" zealots. Each of those people thinking that they have the attention and ear of a long-time Bungie employee.
If he presented these matters as closed and gave the reasons they would realize they DONT have his attention, and that it is merely an explination.
Do you really anticipate the discussion to be calm, logical and to reach any sort of understanding? You know the, "I guess that while I may not agree with your choice, I respect and understand how you came to it" sort of result? I know that a handful of members are capable of verbalizing those words, but not many.I think a lot of responses would be something similar to "well what if" but who cares? If they want to throw out a million ideas for something they are being told is a closed topic let them. It will keep the dumb people who would do such a thing stuck in one forum so be happy about that.
IMO, if Sketch (or anyone) decided to make public posts on the forums a part of their regular duties, they would see the forums as a "dunk tank" at a school fair. You know, when the principal is there and people try to drown him? Or take turns throwing pies.
I didnt say regular posting, I said more often, and I specifically said one post numerous times. I understand that people would try to attack them, but once again, these are the people who are being asses and taking from the general quality of the forums.

That makes absolutly no sense to me...
Therein lies the problem.
Ah yes, avoid the point to attempt a substandard attack on another user. In your thirties I figured you could come up with something better... :(<--my disappointed in the failure of another user face.
I actually agree with Recon. Bungie employees should not post in the forums in an official capacity, excepting rare Q&A events, and imo, those should be kept to news articles. Such as the upcoming update, a news article explaining the situation could easily be made and a lot of questions could be cleared up.
While I agree that any official word should be made here first, members liked Death and MLG Achronos have proven via this thread that this community isn't capable of more than making demands and stamping their feet if those demands aren't met. Where did I demand anything? I asked a series of questions and gave my opinion. My opinion is that of a user, nothing more, i'm just giving my view of things. Please stop making assumptions. First you thought I said that this was a support site, when I didnt, now you are saying that I am trying to make demands. I have no power on this site, and as such anything I say is simply a request or suggestion, nothing more. Please stop trying to put words in the mouths of others, it is really tiring.

It's unreasonable for officials to post at least twice a week? They posts like 20 times a week on HBO.
The difference between obligation and recreation has already been explained more than once.
Either you weren't paying attention, or you have trouble with reading comprehension.
Did he ask if they were obligated? No, he asked if it was a reasonale request... Nice attempt on bringing up reading comprehension when you were wrong though.
I think what Shiv is trying to say is that inability to grasp a concept does not make the concept invalid.
And another attempt by twinkie to insult the intellignce of other members, no wonder he is a member of the trolls.
