Boosts aren't cosmetic, my friend. But don't get me wrong – I couldn't care less if people want to buy them. The problem is with BungieVision and their "just the tip" strategy. First it was only cosmetics, and a bunch of forumgoers warned that it was a slippery slope, that bungie would gradually offer more valuable things for Pay. Defenders jumped all over those posts, but now, only a couple of weeks later, it's a reality. You can bet that it is only that first slip down that slope...and that metaphor is chosen for a reason: once the slide starts, it usually only picks up momentum. I'm actually shocked it only took them weeks to escalate micro transactions.
