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.

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.

And you also get them for free by turning in your satchels... Increased glimmer from killing certain types of enemies when you consume the candy? You mean that stuff we've all been getting free drops of since day one? 2) Microtransactions are a slippery slope is more of an argument against people who can only parrot "microtransactions are a slippery slope" instead of come up with a solid argument. It's a "what if" and "they might" bullshit, hypothetical knee jerk reaction with no concrete merit. Real things happening that are in fact paying for exclusive items that give unbeatable advantages would make an actual argument... 3) GTFOver yourself. You don't have to buy anything and it's stupid to act like you're setting some sort of pious example by saying "hold the line!" bullshit after SOOOO many people have already parroted this crap since the very first announcement of Eververse. What happened to people making their voices heard with their wallets? You know, that thing that holds your money that you don't actually have to pull out and use every time a game has a microtransaction option for things you don't actually need to enjoy the game...
