Too many microtransactions and not enough Bright Dust

There aren't enough ways to earn Bright Dust

Eververse Items are too expensive

The Eververse economy is fine as is

As someone who tries pretty hard to collect most of the new weapons, skins, armor cosmetics, etc. I find it almost impossible to keep up with Eververse without spending money. With the changes to cosmetic items no longer dismantling for Bright Dust it is a grueling grind to acquire enough Bright Dust to buy these "free to play" cosmetics fast enough. In theory, each weekly bounty from the 3 main NPC vendors (Zavala, Shaxx, Drifter) grants 200 Bright Dust a piece with additional bounties from some vendors rewarding 10 Bright Dust a piece. This ends up as a grand total of about 3600-4000 bright dust for an account per week so long as they finish these bounties on every character. That's a decent amount however new eververse items such as sparrows, ships, ghosts, and emotes cost anywhere from 2000-3500 bright dust apiece meaning that unless you store away massive amounts of this currency there is no way to acquire all of these new cosmetics fast enough before the event is over. Please implement a better way to earn bright dust or make these prices more reasonable so that people don't feel like they're missing out if they don't spend ridiculous amounts of real money on silver. It has felt like the seasons have just been an excuse to market new skins for quite a while and I can't imagine much of the community enjoying this. If you made it this far into this post please answer the poll question. What is your opinion of the Bright Dust economy?

  • Honestly, I’ve found myself lacking any interest in Eververse items due to high silver cost and low bright dust acquisitions. Because I’ll never have enough BD to buy all the things I want, I look at the silver price. Then I see the exorbitant silver price and decide that it’s just not worth it. We can’t have both of these things be true if they want people to interact with EV. Either give us more bright dust, or drop those silver prices. I’d prefer the latter, since I WANT to give Bungie a little extra money. But not if I feel I’m not getting my money’s worth ($20 to get three exotic ornaments is way too much, for instance).
