Treasures of the Lost are not cosmetic only
Pay-to-win has come to "Destiny". As part of the Festival of the Lost, players can use silver to purchase Treasures of the Lost. This random package could include items that speed up weapons upgrades and glimmer farming. So, remember when Bungie said silver would only be used for cosmetic items? Well, they aren't.
Micro-transactions are a slippery slope. The community needs to keep Bungie from going down that slope. Make your voices hear. Raise a ruckus. Let the Bungie faithful assail your revulsion of micro-transactions and pay-to-win. Let them see your resolve. Until Bungie relents and goes back to making "Destiny" the game it should be, we hold the line.
Edit: From Reddit [url=https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/3qax5y/destiny_halloween_event_festival_of_the_lost/]https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/3qax5y/destiny_halloween_event_festival_of_the_lost/[/url]
These aren't cosmetic items only. They include consumables.
Edit: Keep responding. "STFO, "Never go full . . .", "You're an idot". It's all there already. Every reply bumps this post and keeps the pressure on Bungie to avoid going pay-to-win. And yes, I know some Guardians would love it if "Destiny" went pay-to-win and they could just buy a Gjallarhorn 3.0, but that's not the game I bought.

3 RepliesEdited by Remy: 10/26/2015 10:37:15 PMPay to win.. Uh.. I did not realize I had to pay real money for glimmer enhancers and telemetry packs before the silver loot boxes came.. :|

OH NO EVERYONE WHO PAYS MONEY CAN UPGRADE WEAPONS FASTER?!?! SO UNFAIR!!!!
-
It's consumables that are re skinned current consumables... The masks are cosmetic... That is not pay to win. The packages you can also get from playing the game... I think that bungie might be testing the waters a bit with silver but as it stands I don't see anything wrong with it.

Dude you can't change this community. It's so blinded by Bungies promises. Just bob and weave, don't get into those arguments, it's like talking to a blind, deaf wall.
-
Yea because I got way ahead of everyone else with telemetries and glimmer consumables
-
You are right. Its a shame people are so easily fooled. Its another step towards true pay to win. They are doing it gradually

1 ReplyEdited by Poeghostz: 10/26/2015 10:30:15 PMIt's too late my friend. They defended Bungie for the initial release of micro-transactions and will defend this as well (as seen below). They refuse to acknowledge where this could go.

1 ReplyEdited by HectX: 10/26/2015 10:45:58 PMTo all the people saying who cares I can get the same stuff as drops for free how is that any different than getting an exotic drop for free or buying the same exotic drop for $? Answer: [spoiler]there is none[/spoiler].... Well not exactly the difference is the value you place on the item. I could care less about these consumables because they won't make any different to the current game, but he is arguing on the fact that there is even an item the exists that isn't cosmetic... If you can't see the difference well... Bungie you win. Masks off you you. P.S: Anyone remember the days of farming for glimmer like crazy to upgrade exotics to 2.0 versions. We never know what they will do to the market. Sometimes glimmer is worthless sometimes you will be spending hours to farm for it.

Edited by Dexamection: 10/26/2015 10:45:50 PMNoob the consumables do the same thing in game items do. Extra glimme upon specific enemy kills, xp to weapons etc. Plus the consumables also expire at the end of the festival. SO they are nothing special. No pay to win. Edit: no I don't support pay to win
-
You know you can buy stuff from banshee to upgrade weapons faster with glimmer right???
-
6 Replies"Pay to Win"...a funny term if you ask me. How would one describe "winning" destiny?

*Fear mongering intensifies*
-
Wow. Speed up the progress of weapon levelling? Have you heard of something called a telemetry? And speeds up glimmer farming? This is damn TTK. Glimmer doesn't have shit on us!
-
*gasp* GLIMMER? WEAPON UPGRADES?THOS BASTARDS!
-
10 RepliesJust got the same consumables in a drop for free! Get a life!

They already have those for sale in the tower.
-
Oh no extra consumables that have little impact on the game?! Whatever will we do?! [spoiler]op is retarded[/spoiler]
-
Wahhhhhhh
-
Dude we had glimmer and upgrade stuff before festival of the lost
-
2 RepliesYou do realize you can get everything for free? I don't even care anymore. the community will be a better place without you whistle blowing torch wielding bungie doomsday maniacs. Just move along
-
They're basically just extra black wax idols and ether seeds, taking extra space, no need for them
-
So in other words primary and secondary telemetry, ether seeds, axion beads and black wax idols. Stuff we all have tons of already.

1 ReplyAgain with this "slippery slope" bullshit.

First off, they only last as long as the Festival. Second. They are the exact same thing as the other types like telemetries and glimmer drops.
