Subject: How is it OUR fault?!

Donuts > all other food

I have finally cooled down enough to make a post that isn't full of RAAAAAAAAAAGE.

Seriously, it's absolutely pathetic to see the lucky ones who risked Gorilla and got swag bags tell us "YOUR FAULT FOR F5ING!".

Errrm, excuse me, but when there are rare items on sale for cheap costs and hundreds of people want them, I'd think you can expect some F5 action.

How could we not? I mean hell if you only F5'd on a 15-minute basis odds are the bags would be gone by the time you F5'd.

And how can you blame us again when we kept doing it despite them asking us to stop? When they say "Amazon's working on it, stopf5ingplz" that only makes us more paranoid that Amazon could have it fixed anytime and makes us want to F5 more.

So please, don't blame us. It's Bungie's fault at the core for not simply tweeting "Trust Gorilla" or something.

Good day.

@accordingto343

Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should, in this case, just because you could F5, didn't mean you should've.

You stole mah tweet idea. D;

I forgive. (;

Anyways, bro, I canceled mine before they ran out and I was informed it was legit. Yeh, I'm mad, but I was living without it before, I can live without it now....maybe...

I don't think they are blaming all the people who didn't get one, they are saying the reason Bungie had to make another page is because it was faster than waiting for everyone to stop F5ing, which was not gonna happen for a while. So it kind of is the communities fault that this all happened.

With that being said, it still could have been handled better and they should have tweeted.

I agree. But given as long as i've gone with no sleep because of this...
Is it really worth it, any of it? Not counting the ebay stuff. Wouldn't even consider wasting my time on that and the price...
EDIT:Apparently the Amazon store front crashed. There are still bags but Bungie's holding back. Check their twitter.
Im still not wasting any more of my time.

Exactly. Especially when Bungie asked us to stop so they could work on the problem, and everyone promptly ignored them.

Lol Risk, there was more than enough proof to know it was real. Plus Halycron said it was legit.

And for good reason.

They gave no explanations or details.

The OP is 100% correct.
