“You were oblivious to the magical bits beneath the hood” (Destiny)

I think server-side changes to the game are not as easy as you think they are, even for really (seemingly) simple things.

Maybe not in a 7-year old game, but this kind of thing has existed in the MMO world for a decade or so. Unless you assume that Bungie isn't keeping up with the state of the art circa 2005, this stuff really shouldn't be a surprise.

Two quick points:

- you don't really have any idea what sort of changes DeeJ was referring to, so assuming they're MMO-style changes might be short-sighted
- Bungie has said, over and over and over, that Destiny is a shooter, not an MMO. You can continue to treat it like an MMO, but that might be short-sighted
