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.

They dissapear when the festival ends...

Merry Christmas
-
Hey guess what, you also get them from filling the candy bag
-
Oh stop ffs!
-
Oh stfu. Muted
-
Are my Ghord, 1 primary telemetry or black wax idol for 2 bucks! Too OP Bungie plz nurf ore eye quiet
-
Except that all the candy that speeds up glimmer and weapon progression are also obtainable for free from Eva by just filling up a candy bag. So what if you want to spend money and and get a few more. I just consume them to get them out of my inventory. Gear is good and not had to max out. Glimmer is not a problem either. I'm usually max every few days and then I just burn through all but 3k on heavy synth. So stfu.
-
Omg consumables are rmt? No way!?! I mean its not like u can get the same equivalent items from drops or the gunsmith right?!? ...idiot
-
forgot #satire
-
You can get the consumables for free really easily...
-
Did you notice that they expire when the Festival is over? And besides, you can get all those things through the in-game economy. And you also get those for free through filling up the candy bag.
-
I really wish there was a way to round you whiny little bitches up and put a bullet in you all. It doesn't affect you, You don't have to buy the stuff, The items might be good and you want them but want it for free or to earn it. Bungie has implemented silver. Either buy it or shut the -blam!- up.
-
I heard if you buy the packages you automatically beat hard mode kings fall. #paytowin
-
Weapon xp increase and glimmer consumables were [b]already in the game[/b]. It's not pay to win
-
You know its literally the same shit thats already in the game and you have a bunch of in yiur inventory right?? Yeag thats so "play to win"
-
It's upgrading weapons you already have, and -blam!-ing glimmer. Just because you can't afford it doesn't mean you need to complain.
-
They're just candy versions of black wax idol, ether seeds, resupply codes, blue polyphage, primary telemetries, special telemetries, and heavy telemetries. I don't see how these give me an advantage over any other player. I swear... people always have to find something to b*tch about.
-
Those very same things drop from enemy's of that type, It's just called something else and has a different look.
-
If you need those consumables to win, you're terrible at this game.
-
Anyone can get these by filling candy bags, no one buys those for the consumavles
-
Edited by Krayor: 10/27/2015 4:15:59 PMIf you have to pay with real money to buy (or have a chance of getting) a Destiny item to temporarily boost your glimmer gain, you're kind of failing at everything. [spoiler]More like pay-to-[url=http://www.example.com]lose[/url][/spoiler]
-
it take seconds to upgrade a gun without said consumables. And who ever needs glimmer these days. Plus you can get all this stuff for free.(and very easily i might add) Relax. Its all in good fun.
-
Really?? You care that much about this? In no way do these consumables help you win the game. Quit spreading salt and just quit the game already.
-
If you crybabies are so tired of this game why don't you quit posting in the forum and move on?
-
Your point is pointless they are still only cosmetic as they won't make you any better or worse at the game numb nuts
-
Holy shit! Im SO screwed! I cant afford salty engrams to get my primaries upgraded! Oh wait... It takes about 20 seconds to burn a few motes and fully upgrade whatever i want...
