Wanna get rid of eververse. Consider this.
So, you think a optional, non-obtrusive, easy to ignore store in the game is bad, or even evil?
Think on this. every piece of content will be behind a paywall, so mayhem would be gone behind a paywall (why give away a free mode when you have to pay people to build it?), nightfall will be behind a paywall (to keep it relevant with ever increasing light levels), the leviathan raid will be gone behind a paywall or become obsolete.(remember in D1 when they didn't keep raids light relevant, i do), bungie needs to pay money to develop things, and businesses need to make a profit. eververse sells cosmetic gear. nothing more, nothing less, and it also provides funding to the studio between expansions. Eververse paid for mayhem, masterworks, the dawning, and all the updates that well get for free, including private matches next year.
So do you want to stop loosing your minds about a trivial ingame function? for me personally. i would rather have eververse than have to buy membership, or premium access, or a DLC every month, which in the long run, will cost everyone more than eververse ever did.

You really think they [i]need[/i] the extra monetization in a game that costs $60, then sells $20 DLCs in the first few months of release, and will then sell $40 expansions every year for the next few years? You seriously think that these microtransactions are there so that poor BungiVi$ion has the fundings to keep old content relevant? You really think they'd be losing money on the franchise without Eververse? Eververse makes money that goes to the shareholders. Destiny 2 already made a profit, and part of that profit was used to fund Mayhem, Masterworks, the Dawning and all those "free" updates (that you paid for by buying the game, by the way). The rest of the profits went to Activision, and Eververse is no exception. If poor BungieVi$ion [i]needs[/i] DLC AND microtransactions ON TOP of the initial purchase price, how could Warframe even exist, being free, providing free DLC and being funded ONLY through microtransactions. You don't need all of it. Activi$ion, and probably Bungie as well, are being greedy.
