If we could buy exotics with real money
If Bungie were to sell exotic weapons for a cheap price, let's say for $5 you can purchase an exotic like the Hawkmoon or Gjallarhorn would you buy them?
Personally, I'd buy Hawkmoon is there were an option.
Edit: Of coarse you would still have to earn the Vex & Nerco.
Edit 2: For those saying paying to win is wrong, what exactly were you winning in this game to begin with? The reason why the original game was stripped down is because activision wants people to spend more money on content we were promised. Realistically, most people only play this game just to receive an exotic they never had before, why not just speed up the process?

1 ReplyNo, this is a stupid idea. Exotic are supposed to be earned.

11 RepliesMoney is the root of all evil [b]and[/b] two wrongs don't make a right. Forget microtransactions, you try to stop a cancer, not speed it up. Xur is not the same thing, you don't know what he'll bring and at least it gets people [b]playing[/b] weekly heroics to collect strange coins. Whether you consider that easy or not, you earn them. If you have everything, what's the point in playing? Where's your sense of accomplishment? Have none? Go play phone games, don't spoil ours.

Hell no.

Micro-transactions can be a slippery slope. While it may be good at first, you have to be careful the game doesn't turn into a pay-to-win nightmare.
-
That's a dangerous precedent to set.

2 RepliesIf it's 0.99 USD to buy around half to all the exotics, then yes. Otherwise no

5 RepliesDLC is paying for more content, Microtransactions are paying for access to content currently available to anyone through a free process. At least that's my opinion on it. Microtransactions ruin games, pay to win is indeed wrong.

7 RepliesPersonally, I wouldn't do this on principle. How many games are there nowadays that are essentially pay to win? DLC is one thing, but mobile/cell games-style micro-transactions are just a way for the game owner to swing from the profit udders just that much harder to extract every last drop. It might seem a small and simple step, but us accepting this simple step is a very easy way for Activision/Bungie to see that we will accept this kind of cost in the future... Put it this way: how would you feel if Bungie had implemented a system at the beginning where you had to buy the exotic kit in the game and it wasn't part of the RNG roll. Would you accept this?

1 ReplyI wouldn't have a problem with it. Would I buy, hell no. But if someone else wants to blow their money on micro transactions, only makes strikes easier for me.

1 ReplyNope. No way. When this game becomes pay to win it dies.
-
1 ReplyAs bungie has said, sounds way better if you had to solo a activity or played pvp and had a lucky drop. Versus, ya my friend just handed it to me or I just bought it for a few $. While that wont affect you probably, remember your not the only person playing the game.
-
Oh hell no

-
Um no

1 ReplyNo! Stop that, no.....NO! Bad OP! Don't give Activi$ion any stupid ideas.

4 Repliesthen i'd stop playing 100% as a real mmo style game never works on a pay to win model.
