It used to be for the comradery of other people who liked the games and the private group(s) that made this place a great place. This place was addictive fun. Now I don't know why I keep coming back. The pre-Darkness Private Groups are basically dead, the B.next forum structure caused multitudes to leave, the wild west aspect of the new structure is anything but welcoming, and the new inmates are running the asylum. Spammy children, overly aggressive-very negatively charged post attacks, and all manner of blatant disregard for any measure of basic decency is now the norm. People used to be able to talk to most anyone without worrying about divisions for what they believed, their race, or what their orientation. Why? Because you couldn't. That is no longer possible. Hateful comments and all manner of idiocy flow like water now with little to no concern of repercussions. I used to like to help people with things (games, general questions, whatever), but today you have to filter out who is really inquiring, and who is merely trolling for their own childish amusement. I'd love to see a sense civility return. That can not and will not happen with the lax, lack of real rules and the ability to create alts at your leisure. But I really do not expect Bungie to do anything further. It seems their only focus is sales, and really that is what they need to do for business. It's just sad that the old version of Bungie's somewhat 'Happy go lucky' approach to being a part of the Bungie.net site has departed and are focused more on off-site social media rather than their own home field. Re-reading my own thoughts here, I guess I should find a new diversion. There is not much here left aside from a few people that I have known a long time, and that is sad. Too much wading through trash posts and not enough posts of any sort of substance have me severely burned out.
