No. I will never support a pay to get ahead scheme in Destiny.

So what do you think about Bungie's newest addition to eververse?

Edited by MurdiusMaximus: 12/21/2015 4:12:19 PMTo which new addition are you referring? I haven't been on today yet...If you are talking about the new SoL that they have, I disagree with that as well.
-
Yes, that thing. Which is basically this but with a level boost, telemetries, and is $40 instead of $5-$10.
-
It's not pay to get ahead, its pay to catch up at worst.
-
Yeah but think of newer players. In that case it becomes pay to advance. No bueno. All they have to do is hit 20 (not too hard) then boom.

Not to mention the reset of the passives and other perks that go along with each subclass. You can still traditionally level them. It's pay to catch up.

Edited by MurdiusMaximus: 12/9/2015 2:00:39 PMWe were all there. Every Guardian started out that way. Why should they get to skip the hours of leveling that I had to do (or countless other Guardians had to do for that matter)? Leveling up your subclasses is a kind of right of passage. You EARN those perks. You say "pay to catch up?" This is Activision for crying out loud. "Pay to catch up" paves the way for "pay to win." Now here, buy this year one exotic boosted to year two for $5. See where that went so quickly? Good Crucible players do well even with just a grenade and no double jump.

Why do you get to be special and dictate how and why to punish new players just because they're new? You're worse than the Hammer of Crutch and Bitch Dancer apologists. They aren't good Crucible players. They just bought the game. They don't know the maps, lanes, spawns, timers, or anything. And on top of all that, now you're saying they have to start off with nothing, while everyone else is levelled, because you started of with nothing when everybody else also had nothing.
