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.

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.

Motes of light already speed upgrades a whole freaking lot so....what is your concern again? Glimmer is also really easy to come by anyways.

Ppl like you are truly moronic.
-
You know you can do bounties to get that shit to right?
-
You're a dumbass.

[quote]his random package could include items that speed up weapons upgrades and glimmer farming[/quote] [quote]THIS ITEM EXPIRES AT THE END OF THE EVENT[/quote] You are also class act retard, you can very easily get those consumable from Sacks just by killing minions of the darkness.
-
You do know you don't need to buy silver to get these consumables, right? Use your brain before making a thread such as this. Sigh
-
You are an idiot
-
The OP went full retard. Never go full... oh never mind.
-
Yea totally not available from the gunsmith you so evil bungie
-
.... No And if someone wants to buy black wax to pay for my next DLC. Awesome.
-
You actually need RNG to get the EXP boosts for primary and stuff. You can buy them from the gunsmith. BUT, bungie better be very careful with their microtransactions
-
Man some of you guys i really worry about. .....
-
Delete this post, save whatever dignity you have left. How does it feel to get murdered by the internet?
-
The consumables you get from the Festival of the Lost are just reskins of already available consumables.
-
Um, you know you can get Treasures for free right? Steal enough candy from critters and you'll be rolling in masks and all the other goodies.
-
Lol if people need glimmer thats sad, and guns are leveled using motes of light now so who cares? You are an idiot if you think this will make a scrub boost to 318 light level.
-
Hahahahahahahaha it must be hard being that stupid. I'm sick of people taking these fun little additions to the game and twisting them around to make the game and the developer look bad. If you can't beat the end game activities without a zombie dance or the Carlton, then you should quit. This is NOT a pay-to-win addition, stop pretending that it is.

Edited by Nike: 10/26/2015 9:15:22 PMSome people could buy a shit ton amounts of red bull and get xp boost up the ass. It makes it quicker, but it's not a definite pay2win. Same thing applies for the Tess packages. ~[i]TheSpookyNike[/i]
-
Dude u can purchase those weapon upgrades for glimmer from banshee.
-
The stuff your talking about is basically just a re-skin of telemtries stupid
-
Well considering the masks have no light value whatsoever yes they are only in the game to be specifically cosmetic considering they dropped my light from 308 to 274 when I switched from my normal helmet. GG learn a book
-
Does it hurt?...to be so stupid?....
-
As long as it doesn't become like other mmos where it's like pay to win... Already paid 120 or whatever dollars on this game.
-
It's technically pay to make it quicker. Not to win.
-
Yes because why would we expect any developer company in the industry which is a business, like the ones behind PayDay 2, to make money through microtransactions in an age where gamers traded their old games to a gaming store who makes double the money. A 60 dollar game doesnt carry the same worth and is not enough to sustain payroll, equipment, a healthy team, and studio. They got families like some of us.
