![]() There is also the argument that even if the developers did try it, they wouldn't do as good of a job, and people naturally tend to support community projects more so than a AAA creation so they just end up using the community created tools anyway. I dunno there's a lot of interesting gray areas to the subject, but I can't buy that it's always as simple as the developers being lazy and not wanting to develop it themselves. If they sell ads or the application itself, it could put them out of a job. Since most characters are bought because of past achievements or strong gear, logging in to the game can usually be skipped. If this information is important to you, youll need to check in-game. So now players argue that Bungie should just add it to the game, but that would essentially be a death knell to DIM and other similar applications and their dedicated developers that have put a ton of time into their development. The armory shows most information about the character apart from the inventory, bank and gold. It's not by definition unplayable though. Now with DIM you can grab what you need on the go, and going back to the old way seems like lunacy. ![]() You went to the tower and grabbed what you needed. I preface this by saying I have no idea what the solution is to some of these things. Most games don't NEED these tools to play them, but we've grown so accustomed to convience that it feels that way sometimes. There are a LOT of talented developers out there, and I would much prefer a game developer offer an expansive API to allow said developers to make tools for the community (and in some cases a living) than to not offer it.
