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.

    I feel like a lot of people who make these posts are extremely short-sighted, and can't see the entire problem. You really think this is just about Eververse? It's not. This is about how Bungie continues to put content behind Microtransactions while the rest of the game sufferers from lack of content. Adventures are still worthless, Lost Sectors are still pointless, Strikes still have nothing to offer, Raid Gear sucks, and they don't have any Raid ships, sparrows, or Ghost Shells anymore, Cayde Chests still aren't worth the Glimmer spent on the maps to them. Amanda Holliday is even more useless than she was in D1. How hard would it have been to give her 3 weekly quests that reward a ship, Sparrow, or Transmat Effect? Yet, here we are with the Dawning. More items behind Eververse that are harder to get to through gameplay than the regular Eververse items are. We only get 1 Dawning Engram per character a week, the daily Dawning Gifts have a different loot pool than the Engrams, with even shittier RNG, and the weekly rotating items you can buy directly with Bright Dust hasn't had all the items available. There's also the other problem where the Dawning items don't dismantle into Bright Dust for you to directly purchase the items you may want. Let's not forget that we also have seasonal gear for Eververse now. Where's the seasonal gear for Vendors? So, yeah, this is why people hate Eververse. It's taking away content that could have been integrated into the gameplay loot pool, and sticking them behind Microtransactions with limited ways to earn them in-game.
