Hello guys long time no see lol.
Thoughts on rebuilding communities and overhauling things is this you want to attract people in 3 seconds or less. Now a days kids and people in general have attention spans of around 3 seconds, test it for yourself. Look at say instagram how long do you typically look at a picture? A few seconds right? Well thats pretty much how it is now a days you either catch someone fast or they are bored and move on. Not only that people don't have the patience to surf around anymore, they like info right when they want it, they want instant gratification. Gaming has become this thing where games like COD come out in around a year each year so no one has time to really dedicate to a specific game. They make games to instantly gratify modern players so that you don't notice the game sucks until well like most cods a few months after then its onto the next cod saying the typical oh the next one will be good just wait.
We went from playing a Socom for years to playing COD for a few months. You have to think about how you're gonna catch people and how you get them to stay. Simple, flashy, and fast that's how things work now. It is what it is with games starting to adopt the madden style of releasing each year its going to get worse, don't even get me started on how bad BF4 was and how Hardline is a clone with a new skin. I'm hoping Destiny can keep it fresh enough so far it's been my favorite game this year and it hasn't even come out. Just saying in the end you have to market for impatient stupidity with shiny toys.
