If you like the Eververse stuff, then by all means, continue to purchase silver. Others may, but I won't fault you for it. Tess has the only gear in the game with any kind of rarity, regardless of how useful it is. Literally everything else is so easily obtainable that Eververse gear is the only thing left to chase, which is what games like Destiny are all about. One of the reasons I personally have a problem with it is because all they seem to be focusing on is Eververse. For example: CoO - Approximately 90 new items added that drop organically via normal gameplay. You must own CoO to get this gear. Initial release (broken) was blundered by locking non-DLC owners out of content already paid for. Most rewarding public event ever (either broken or I have a much different idea of rewarding) results in two tokens and a blue. CoO Eververse - Approximately 90 new fully functional items added. You [b]do not [/b]need to own CoO to get this gear. Season 2 - reset clan stats, a new stick for hard working clans, Three of Coins (broken), Fated Engrams (broken), New Boons (broken) The Dawning Eververse - 59 fully functional new items added, decorations (admittedly beautiful), Mayhem clash (broken), snowballs (more powerful than most weapons aka broken)
