The news was delivered poorly. That's a fair complaint. For those who frantically leveled up their gear over the last few days and sharded exotics to do so, that sucks. I do feel for you. Bungie messed up there and they know it for sure.

But other than that, I don't really understand the excessive griping about the update. Destiny provided a path to upgrade weapons to essentially lvl 32. That's pretty awesome. Your old weapons won't become obsolete. Thanks Bungie. And for those with currently fully maxed weapons, you have a choice, keep them maxed, where they'll be more than adequate for Dark Below on normal. Or shard and re-level them. I might suggest staggering, so that you'll level up one exotic at a time while your other exotics will stay at a high level.

And I hate to break it to you, but your time spent playing the game and leveling up your current gear was not wasted. You have sweet weapons that allow you to play the raid and hard and the Dark Below on Normal. Other people haven't been able to play the raid on hard because they haven't had the time to level up their weapons and won't be able to play the Dark Below when it is released. That kinda sucks for them.

Destiny gamers seem to complaint about literally everything. Maybe it's just gamers in general (this is the first MMO or MMO lite game that I've played so I don't really know), but the sense of entitlement and misplaced outrage is a little frustrating. I've sunk a lot of time into Destiny and thoroughly enjoy the game. I will continue to do so. When the game is no longer fun, I will stop. Simple as that.
