Seriously? This guy rather stand in front of a cave all day shooting the same stuff rather than play on crucible or do strikes? If you want loot go and join a faction. Cave was cool but who cares if it gets patched, it was obviously going to happen. What a little baby complaining that Bungie patched something so obvious.

Your mom goes to college...

Im on the fence here! I own the game but play it very casual with my friends and family!

What I don't get is how people are complaining why its so hard to get legendary and exotics!

Is this not ment to be a mmo shooter!?

The amount of time iv spent on mmo's for example WoW grinding purples for months only to never see the item I want drop!
and I have no issue with that nor do the other 6mil players that play the game!

I think cos console players have never played a mmo where u need to grind for loot and materials they don't have the patience for it!

if you get everything u want in a week then you might as well not buy the game!

To much moaning!! just shut up and grind if u don't like it go play some arcade game!

bungie is wrong for releasing this game too early . if gamers exploiting something too much that means the game is not fun , borderlands had a lot of stuff that could be exploited to have legendaries but people didn't used it much ...

While I did cave loot farming it was still an exploit so no surprise it got patched out.

I understand nerfing the loot cave but not being able to get ascendant shards from the Queen's missions? That's just stupid and eliminated my desire to attempt them.

The fanboys that defend broken systems like this are pathetic. Bungie has no right to tell people how to play a game they bought. Their vision for the game is irrelevant once the player has it in their hands, I don't care if it's a Shooter/MMO with a 10 year content plan. If someone wants to spend hours in front of a cave, head shotting enemies that come out so they can have a decent way of getting loot, THAT'S THEIR PREROGATIVE!

No one has the right to tell someone they are playing a game wrong. Period.

Bungie never meant for this to be in the game. Its an exploit. They didn't put it there on purpose and it allows people to get gear in a very easy and cheap way.

It would be different if they meant for that to be the case, but they clearly did not.

Many games are accidentally released with exploits. Guess what. They always get fixed too.

People need to quit complaining over this. They knew what they were doing when they went to that treasure cave...

Meanwhile countless exploits have been patched in countless MMOs and nobody Cry's but thinks it's better for the game now...stop being over dramatic.

I 100% agree with the headline. If I made a game and people were finding a way to enjoy it that I didn't expect and wasn't my intention, I would embrace it. Instead, all they have done is alienated a massive chunk of their fanbase and for what? Because some level designer had an ego and said "they're doing what? Standing in place shooting into a cave for hours? F THEM THEY CAN'T DO THAT TO MY GAME?"

Maybe they should spend more time worrying about the fact that people would rather spend more time mindlessly standing in place shooting into a black hole than playing the game the way they want you to.

Time for a trade in.

People using this method to obtains gears are the same who can't play anything without guides or gameshark.

Cry more.

I... think they might be onto something here. I mean, they DID make the game and all...

Its not about that, its about upsetting the way they designed obtaining loot.

seems like girls and gamers make excuses for their stupid actions.

If bungie wanted you to progress through the game a certain way you can be sure they fix "exploits"

people crying about playing how they want to play vs crying about exploits is not the same thing, but many here believe it to be.

Vanguard/faction rep guarantees legendary gear.

It's their creation and vision, they've been hard at work for years on this, they aren't wrong at all

Cave love

I don't understand how they consider this an exploit exactly. Does anyone remember super jumping in halo 2? I believe at some point bungie was asked about it and they responded with... Well its there and everybody can do it. Now they pull this? Kind of makes me lose respect for them.

So people are crying cuz now they have to work to earn the rare gear??Lol I should complain to Nintendo freak for making me do all sorts of tasks just to get a shot at Mewtwo *Rolls eyes*.

Glad they patched just seems a scrub way of getting the armor.But I will miss getting hatemail for standing in the cave >_>

You guys should see Angry Joe's Review on Destiny he explains why it didn't live up to the hype and what Bungie promised.

wtf? lol they created the game

People who are complaing are the cheap bastards who glitch. Please trade in your ps4 version of destiny if you are for glitches.

If the loot system was better we would have to farm nothing but materials for upgrading your gear.

So her prefers the monotony of grinding over the monotony of strikes. Hmmm.

I got a exotic shotgun and pulse rifle just before it got patched, now I can spend my coins and mote of light on something else at wkd ;)

For the 100th time bungie never claimed this as an MMO. All they stated was they used a few elements from the genre to try to make a mixture of one. This validating the awful design choices they made based on a genre that it's not needs to end.

destiny is awesome

It was an exploit. Exploits get patched.

Destiny aka farmville

Destiny is going to die a quick death. I'm level 21. My friends are 28, 25 and 24. We all agreed that the only thing keeping us motivated was seriously the loot cave. using it to level up to try to get us all up to a good level for the Raid. Now it's gone and they expect us to play missions we've already beaten a dozen times in the small hope we may get LIGHT. It's fucking goddamn ridiculous and horrible design. Why don't you give us a level 20 raid so at least SOME of us can get more out of this game without having to put 40 hours into it just to get to the GOOD part. This game doesn't need a few tweaks. It needs a complete massive overhaul. It's sad that the game that was supposed to be game of the year has become a bit of a joke. When you do a mission again for the 5th time and get nothing out of it that helps you advance, you feel like you've just wasted 30 minutes of your time for absolutely nothing. That's not a game that keeps people pushing forward.

I got suckerd into the 89.99 version but the game is very shallow. Same mission's over and over and over again or sit, yes sit don't even have to shoot by a cave and get better gear huh? 2 hours at the cave proves how broken the game is.

Raid's oh the raids, get good gear all you need is 8 hours and 5 other friends with 8 hours to waste, we'll tell you what is good for you and you'll like it.

Have gotten more from Crota farming than that cave. Recent, doing the Queen+Vanguard bounties, I've gotten a lot of decohorent, and maybe 2 legendary engrams. Precision kills do seem to increase the drop rate.

I'd definitely file that under "entitled". And under "fallacy". Bungie didn't "remove" it just because people were playing their game in a particular way. In fact, you can still play Destiny the exact same way, the enemies just appear less often. They increased the spawning times for the enemies because as it was, the loot cave was an unproportionally quick way to get loot. Hence its name. So it wouldn't be fair to players who prefered playing the game in a different way.

No, they're not.

oh man what a bummer. i have gotten even less worthless loot now. I am shocked at the "fixing" of these bugs before adding the solutions. I would have held back until the new loot system was implemented. What you have now is an even more barren environment.

Ive never visited http://stevivor.com/, and I am enjoying destiny with friends. But this was a great take on a game, that regardless of the fun, is broken at it's core.

I'm sick of hearing about destiny now. It's rubbish so let's all move on

You're wrong and you should feel wrong!

I miss the way you killed a bad-ass boss at the end of a long stage and he would explode into lots of bright purple and green weapons and kit.... oh hang on, that was Borderlands! I forgot, this is that game where you go through 30+ mins of hard work defeating a ridiculously hard boss only for it to drop a packet of seeds and a couple of clips of Assault Rifle ammunition leaving you to wonder why you just saved the world if you can't even get a couple of Uncommon gloves and a free pass to the Playboy Mansion for your efforts!

Don't get me wrong, I am a bit sucked into Destiny and really like it, and on top of that the constant mission updates they do make it interesting. I just wish the different classes were MUCH more varied (they all have fairly similar abilities for the most part) and that they took the Borderlands approach and added a vast variety of weapons and weapon abilities/upgrades and kit so that even if you played the game for 1,000+ hours you were still finding the occasional quirky weapon that just blows the last one away, and yet still haven't found that "one gun" that you saw someone have that was even better! What this game does is give a bit of fresh air while waiting for the true king, Borderlands 3 to make its way to the next-gen consoles.

I am glad Destiny fixed this... just because some ass hat gamers want to exploit a glitch or mistake does not make it right...

That is not what Bungie intended for that area so I am glad they fixed it..

Person that wrote this was most likely a big supporter of game genie or game shark

Most likely is a person that would or does cheat in MP games as well...

I am glad that Bungie is on top of this and are quick to fix it...

A game is meant to be enjoyed, but all Bungie seem to care about here is the "Economy". Well, for a game that lacks a premium currency, it is a futile effort. It is obvious that Bungie have locked off trading to prevent duplication glitches from forming, but this also prevents the social aspect of the game too.
When it comes down to it, I'm not going to create serveral characters, so those false hopes of exotic pieces for other classes will be going straight out the window. Unless Bungie plan to make the game a "freemium" game, by adding a premium currency, then they really shouldn't worry about this.

The game is ridiculously overpowered no matter how you play it. Regardless of your weapons, there is so much "balancing" that happens for PvP, but I have a friend with a fully automatic shotgun, who'll make you realise just how this balancing is more of a hinderance than a help. It was only several days ago, I was in the crucible, when it was a shotgun and fusion rifle deathmatch, and now every man and his dog seems to be using the sniper rifle for super easy kills.

Surely Bungie should be happy that users are exploring their game. It seems a harsh thing to do in order to force players to just grind they way they intended. I can't face the same strikes over and over, nor the same boring bounties day after day.

I wasn't sure about if I wanted to carry on with keeping Destiny, but Bungies recent behavior, along with the boring grinding nature of the game, has already led me to put it on eBay.

It is just a shame that the players won't boycott the game developer for pushing their ideals onto the players. If anything, they got lucky, since they have no real competition at the moment, and now they're pushing their luck by taking away the hope of some of the players.

The whole idea in Destiny is to loot, shoot and upgrade. Does it matter if I do it at a cave or replay a crappy mission? It shouldn't. The more I play this game the more I hate it. It was fun until I started finding stuff that irked me. We're on a ruined planet, yet I have a boundary that kills me when I go to far. I have an invisible ceiling that make it impossible for me to really grasp the vastness of the buildings. What is the purpose for the ships, other than a loading screen. I figured I'd be able to use it similar to Halo at least once. If i had not have bought it digitally, I would have returned it already.

How dare they fix an exploit......boo friggin hoo. Play the game as intended or shut up. People crying because they basically can't cheat any longer. People ruin everything.

Wah Wah Wah. Whiny entitled gamers want purples for no effort.

Anyone fancy a sit in or a permanent dance off at the old cave in protest to bungie?

The loot system is ass if you can go in the crucible and have a 0.5 K/D and lose and still get a legendary engram and my team wins and I have a 2.0+ KD and I get nothing its fucking broken that's why people resorted to the cave the people who bitch about everything is the problem
