I think I might do a 180 here and join the spoiled, whiny bitches who think $60 bucks entitles them to a thousand hours of compelling gameplay according to their exact preferred terms.
So I was playing the game...and I snagged myself something called a 'Prometheus Lens', which is basically a death ray that melts the face off of anyone it touches. It was astonishingly effective at incinerating alien robots.
So....I took it into the PvP arena.
Now, it's worth mentioning that I absolutely, positively BLOW at PvP. I dabbled in that type of game back in the late 90's playing Quake 2, which is a much more simplistic game, and I sucked at that. Fast forward to present day, and my go-to tactic of 'run backwards and shoot their feet' is wildly insufficient.
Until I got the Prometheus Lens
This laser-pointer of doom makes it lol easy to 1-hit kill my opponents.
Trying to ambush me around the corner...FACE MELTED!
Trying to get the drop on me from above....FACE MELTED!
Trying to run away....FACE MELTED!
If your face shows up on my screen....I will melt it.
Now I'm winning. Now I'm building up respectable stats. Now I'm earning high-level rewards and my character is progressing faster.
Then Bungie says they plan to 'nerf' (a word I just learned) the Prometheus Lens when they release the next update.
WTF??!! I spent all this time farming for a powerful gun, got one, used it effectively in battle, all in a game I paid $60 for!! Why can't I play the game the way I wanna play it?? Huh? Why are they taking something from me that I already bought! If people don't like getting their face melted, then they should play harder and earn a Face-melting machine of their own.
What are these greedy ass-holes doing to MY game? This criminal fuck-over just made it harder for me to be effortlessly successful in something that doesn't matter at all.
[I'm glad I could post this in text, cause I couldn't say it with a straight face]
