There seem to be a lot of people sad facing on the Community about not being able to get a swag bag. And some people are really mad that others bought multiple. The purpose of my poll is to see if this is really a big problem, or if it's just a case of the vocal minority being unhappy. Kapish?
My theory is that the widespread thought that lots of members were buying exorbitant amounts just isn't true. There are always going to be a few people who flip out and buy a large amount because they have lots of money, but I think most people bought 1-3 (which I would say is acceptable) and others missed out due to the timing--being away when they went up.
Edit: And please don't troll by voting 5+ when you didn't really purchase that many.
Edit: Turn those frowns upside down. More bags released Thursday. Go read @Bungietweets
Edit: Bags released, pandemonium ensued. More frowns. If anyone can explain what happened with Swag Bag release #2 I'll update the OP with the story. Thanks.

- A Facebook post tells us the stuff is going live any minute. Get your F5 fingers ready.
- Minutes later, a tweet states that due to all the F5ing, the Amazon servers DDOS'd.
- Shortly after, we get word that Amazon Support is working on the issues and there is no ETA of when it will be up.
Most of us are fine up to that point. We're getting communication and info about what is going on. Then, it gets ugly.
- Swag bags go up on Gorilla. People jump on orders, then hear it is a scam. People ask for confirmation from Bungie and don't get it. Many cancel their orders.
- A new listing goes up in the Bungie Store as well as on Amazon without anyone knowing. When people attempt to purchase, it states that there's none left. People ask if they are sold out again. No communication.
- Even though the listing clearly states 1 per customer, people are bragging how they bought 3, 5, 10, 20 bags. Rumors begin about orders over 1 being cancelled. Again, no communication.
- 4 hours after we're told there's no ETA, Bungie tweets an apology during all the melee telling us Stosh tripped over a cord. Thanks for the slap in the face.
- 20 minutes later, another tweet telling us what happened.
