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.

I know right!? If I don't buy any I'll never be able to get more glimmer from hive! Or upgrade my weapons faster! [spoiler]satire[/spoiler]
-
Then dont play. Simple. Go whine somewere else
-
Omg. You dumbass. I haven't and won't spend a dime on this promo. And guess what? Because of it and the consumables they gave us, I'll NEVER run out of glimmer. Too many bonuses attached.

2 RepliesOut of all the engrams to choose from you chose salty

So don't pay. Can still get stuff. Only takes a strike or two to get a package. Not hard.
-
I am literally DROWNING in those glimmer consumables. They're mostly just fun little things.

1 ReplyDid you mean the telemetries and glimmer consumables that have different names? they're [i]literally nothing new[/i]. Get over yourself and stop trying to make a big deal out of nothing. "slippery slope tho" Yeah, it waa dances and now [u]OMG RESKINNED CONSUMABLES THAT WE ALREADY HAVE HUNDREDS OF.[/u] what's next? Reskinned exotics that do the exact same things as their counterparts [u]except[/u] they shoot peanuts? Id love people complaining about that. "Yeah so just got kicked from normal crota because I didn't have the 170 redesigned gjallarhorn dubbed 'peanut blaster'. Fukin microtransactions ruining my game" Tl;Dr: op is making mountains out of virtually nothing and we should stop entertaining his idea of "defenders are just taking bungies dick like bit[b]c[/b]hes" because theres not actually anything to defend here apart from I want that friggin skull mask bungie pls have it drop for me im desperate D:

People are actually THIS desperate to find ways that its apparantly P2W? READ ALL ABOUT IT! THE END TIMES ARE NEAR AFTER MANY HOURS OF RESEARCHING ONE THING YOU CAN BUY WITH REAL MONEY CAN BE SWAPPED FOR ONE THING THAT CAN BE TURNED INTO SOMETHING ELSE THE CAN BE TURNED INTO ANOTHER THING THAT GIVES YOU ANOTHER THING THAT GIVES YOU A 0.01% BONUS ON PEOPLE WHO DONT USE SILVER! READ ALL ABOUT IT! ...you need help.
-
It's not like you pay 20 bucks and you get every exotic in the game. You get a consumable that most people have a few hundred of already. Stop whining.
-
3 RepliesOmg he's right! This is just another "pay-to-ween" event! Oh wait, I forgot I didn't give a shit about consumables that are just Halloween reskins of things I can buy from the gunsmith. Also these things expire after the festival, so no use in stocking up. You need invest less emotion into this game. Go spread outrage about child sex rings or puppy mills or something. This isn't worthy of your journalistic endeavors.
-
Almost done with all missions... Haven't spent a dime...
-
Crying about telementries and glimmer consumables ?
-
7 RepliesYou mean a reskinned glimmer consumable or telemetry that literally everyone in this game has hundreds of? Yep, I'll make sure to show you how I won by buying hundreds of those boxes that only have a chance of dropping and showing you the weapon I maxed out with them. It's not like the gunsmith sells them or anything.
-
Oryx mask Op, Bungie please nerf. I wore it to the raid and the enemies mistook me for their master.
-
Are you fcking kidding me? Muted. Reason: lack of intelligence.
-
Bungie, Small Box of Raisins OP, pls nerf.
-
Its almost as if you can just buy telemetries, or that you have an overabundance of those glimmer consumables anyway, they're just giving you more. I honestly don't think a single person, besides the people desperately trying to find something wrong with this microtransaction system (see: you), has had the thought of "I am going to spend money on these packs to get these consumables to pay my way to the top."
-
4 RepliesPeople will bitch about almost anything these days
-
Same consumables that you can get from eva. So yeah lol
-
Lol. Those "consumables" that you speak of are nigh worthless... In fact, I would expect a post to come up saying someone hates having wasted money on crap-sumables.
-
Listen, I'm all for anti-PTW but this post is just stupid lol.
-
-
3 RepliesOh no! Now everyone can level up their weapons super quick because no one has 500,000 motes of light to do so! Oh and don't get me started on the fact that we have 2 million glimmer generating consumables! Because God forbid I wanted to eat a damn salty engram candy.... not that I can't get a daily dose of salt from the forums. Come back when they start making exclusive exotic weapons/three of coins/Strange coins for sale. Then, and only then should we bitch.
-
Yeah, good luck winning anything by having a whole lot of ways to earn glimmer.
-
Consumables which already exist in the game and can be obtained quite easily.... Oh noes.
