A student has requested the opening of a large number of firewall ports (thousands) as referenced at the vendor site: 
http://www.bungie.net/en/Help/Article/11875.  We do not plan to open the ports.  I have never played the game.  The 
request raises concerns that the application has security design issues, and the company has brazen attitudes towards 
security in stating the ports should be opened.  Has anyone else dealt with this and developed an objective rationale?

Kind regards,
