A reminder to you about what the TRUE problem Eververse is

People right now are on the side of !DOWN GOES EVERVERSE!, which is good, but be mindful to what the problem with eververse is. List of what it isnt ( I will cover why they arent after) * Paywall for everyone so they need to buy silver * Filler for missing content * Gambling system Before you click that down arrow, yes eververse does TOUCH, but by no means is it any of these points completely. The ROOT and the definitive truth is progression is all based off of eververse and what is eververse selling for us? COSMETICS! That's right, the problem is their is no end game because every new thing we earn is purely cosmetic and doesnt enhance our game, there is lots of new stuff but its ALL purely cosmetic and replaceable. When they include new content as pure emotes, shaders, ornaments and other things it makes it so the whole grind that people lived for is gone because it's useless, RNG, and well useless TL;DR: it's not pay2win, its the progression system is shit and eververse is the filter KNOW WHAT YOU'RE FIGHTING FOR!

  • Back when I was a kid video games were $50. 00 USD. That's equivalent to over $90.00 today. Over the last 25 years the budget for games has grown substantially. We used to see teams of 10 to 30 people give me a single player campaign over 8 hours long for well over what 90 dollars in today's currency. Now we're looking at a whole company, in this case BUNGIE, that literally is expected to continue to produce content to keep you constantly entertained WHILE PAYING THEIR WORKERS ENOUGH TO FEED THEIR FAMILIES. I bet you all watched star wars this month. Take all the money you paid on watching star wars, divide it by the hours the movie lasted. Take all the money you spent on destiny and divide it by the hours you played destiny. I would be shocked if you didnt end up near just over a dollar or two per hour of entertainment. This endless complaining about bungie selling cosmetic upgrades TO MAKE THE MONEY THEY NEED TO PAY THEIR EMPLOYEES is ridiculous. Blizzard doesn't get crap over their micro transaction system despite how simular it is. Hearthstone constructed is clearly Pay to Win and nobody says a word. I'm assuming most of the anti eververse people on this forum are children because they actually have the time to pull this crap. Grow up.

    • And to those poor souls who retort saying, "Well it is all cosmetics, if you don't like it just don't buy it." Then you miss the point of the community's backlash. Below I will explain and enlighten: People spending money how they see fit is not the problem. Bungie focusing on how to corral those types people exclusively and trying to make Eververse more and more addicting for those people to part with that money rather than focusing on making a superb game that feels interesting and unique, with replayability and variety IS the problem. Since their focus is entirely on Eververse we get a mediocre DLC added onto a mediocre game. For those of us who spent our own money hoping for a Destiny that was going to be some where between Destiny the Taken King and Halo, considering Bungie had 3 years to learn from Destiny 1, are we are supposed to be okay with a mediocre game with its most polished feature being Eververse? If Bungie spent equal parts with Destiny 2 and Eververse, maybe we wouldn't be so up in arms about Eververse. I mean what does it say when there are more exciting things in Eververse than all of the Curse of Osiris DLC? This is why most of us are against Eververse. I didn't purchase a game called Eververse, I purchased a game called Destiny 2. If Bungie just focused more on the game rather than a single feature within the game then this frustration would never have popped up to begin with.

      • Some advice to you. Cut down on the random capitalized words. It makes your post look like someone uneducated is ranting.

        think the biggest problem with (lootbox) MTX is not the fact that you could theoratically get everything but time and time again it has been proven that MTX negatively affect the gaming experience. Every item from eververse is worthless both monetary (real world) and ingame. Getting a raid shader/ship/ornament or whatever actually meant something to both the player and others. Eververse stuff is either paid or randomly acquired by doing "something" (most likely public events/ brainless grind) With the introduction of eververse (and the focus on it), people stopped caring about cosmetics because, as i said, they hold no value. You will rarely see players looking at other player's "outfit" if everything can be earned by doing the easiest content or paying. Edit: Also seasonal stuff will not change anything, because players usually aren't impressed by stuff they can't get anymore, but that's only my point of view.
