Petition to stop micro transactions while we still can.

So can we stop these micro transactions from happening? I know that lots of you are thinking "whatever it's not affecting anyone" but your wrong. This is only the beginning. This is exactly what happened to cod. They stated off with these little things like weapon skins and player skins and now look, they have these weapons that are practically 10 dollars because their drop rates are stupidly low and these aren't just cool looking weapons. Most of them are the best in their class. If you don't decide to listen then fine but DO NOT come complaining when they do to this game what they are doing to cod. A simple sign will do but feel free to post your thoughts and opinions I accept all criticism and am willing to listen to both sides of the arguments. Edit: lots of people seem to be missing the whole point of this thread. I'm not trying to down on bungie or anything, heck I even encourage cosmetic stuff. I mean new shaders and emotes? Hell yeah! But I really can't trust activision after seeing how successful their system is for cod, and they are doing it the exact same way they did it back when cod bo 2 came out. Every one saw weapon camos and they were all really happy, then advanced warfare came out and they now have all the best weapons that are next to impossible to obtain without spending 10$ on them. But it's ok because the said FREE on the ads. I already know that most people ignorance will blind them and to those people I say one day u might understand. More edits: Same developers buddy... And they wouldn't be the same game... They aren't trying to compete they are Trying to get as many different people as they can because call of duty can only reach so far. The reason why I used call of duty as an example is because it's activision and I was showing you how clever they are with they way they made people spend more money for pay to win with less complaints.. I'll enlighten everyone when I have the time to re-do all the calculations write it all down. I'm doing something arm so it will be a second (the first bit is meant for a specific person, he knows who he is). Lol that was a big paragraph, but it's true. Edit: I need to take care of work but I haven't forgot about my promise of evidence of aw being pay to win and I haven't forgot about anyone here... I will try my best to thank everyone when I have time, please feel free to discuss amongst each other and I will tune in when I can. EDIT!! I have decided to show the other side of this argument because it's really not fair to dismiss the other half. So on the flip side to my point lets say activision/bungie sticks to their word and they keep it free and they actually put it toward free better quality than we got last year dlc. Well judging on all the false promises we got from year one I personally wouldn't bet on it but hey I still believe there is some good I'm bungie and this if done in a really ideal way could be awesome! But judging on the fact they wouldn't need to put effort in the dlc since it would be free I don't see it being worth while. But this is my opinion. I would rather get more content like TTK for 20 dollars instead of sub-par dlc but this is still a gamble either way... We can't predict the future but we can make an educated guess to try and prevent bad things from happening. So if you are for what they are trying to do with the high risk of pay to win being implemented(not 100% fact but high chance) please type "Alt Signed" and please respect each other as guardians! Edit: I'm trying really hard to thank everyone please don't feel bad if I've missed you, I truly am doing my best! ill be back* tomorrow to thank everyone and reply to feedback...

  • This is how it starts. Next it will be ships and shaders. Then heavy ammo, then guns and armor and then raid tier items

      • I think we all know what's going to happen if it goes farther than cosmetic stuff, and so does Bungie, nobody can really know how this is going to pan out.

      • Signed 100%. This is activision attempting to make more money. Don't blame bungie. Activision has the funding, bungie has to do this. But maybe we can change it.

      • With out a doubt, SIGNED!!!... If I wanted to endure the utter bollocks of micro transactions I'd play "Simpsons Tapped Out", "Clash Of Clans" or some other isometric, top down, mundane, pointless boring pile of shit from the App Store... Yet I've spent £225 across PS4 and Xbox One for ALL of Destiny's content thus far, and will not be drawn into spending anymore more of the money I work my arse off 6 days a week for on shitty microtransactions! If anything, Destiny should look to customers, alike myself, that invested so heavily in year one! That in reality, was basically just a glorified Beta in which Us unassuming lab rats had to suffer change after change after change with currency, upgrade materials, skill trees etc... All just to be told that's it's all change again for year 2, and we'd have to pay £40 extra for the pleasure of doing so! And our thanks, a shader, a sparrow, and if you, like me smashed through your moments of triumph, A Founders Fortune Emblem.... What a massive absolute "Fück You" to the community that put their lives into Destiny!

        • As long as Bungie only sells cosmetic items, I see no problem. But, I wouldn't put it past Activision to make Bungie go into a p2w model. ACTIVISION IS THE REAL MONSTER HERE PEOPLE.

          • Watch the emotes become obsolete and useless within a few short months just like every expansion has.

            • So I'm guessing people are complaining about micro-transactions so much because they are going to be put in soon. Can anyone confirm this for me? Also I didn't read op's long post

                • It's happening no matter how many people sign the petitions. Just don't buy any thing from tess and that'll be more then enough to show how you feel about it. Also I'm really thrown by this statement, [quote] I would rather get more content like TTK for 20 dollars instead of sub-par dlc [/quote] So you want them to realease 17GBs worth of content for $20? Or you want them to make a TDB, HoW sized DLC with the system of TTK for $20? Because that last one is the only option against the possible free patches till the yearly expansion.

                • You want to stop them? Then be willing to pay $100 for a new game. Oh, you don't want to do that either? Well RIP video game industry. You can't have your cake and eat it too. The industry is on the verge of collapsing under the weight of insane development budgets and DLC is the only thing keeping it from imploding right now.

                        • This isn't CoD Activision has a hand in it, but it's Bungie's baby and they are not stupid enough to blow their own player base, they don't want us to speed progress, why would they want us to buy weapons lol. That defeats the point.

                          • I don't see the problem. As long as the guns and armor they will eventually sell aren't game breaking then it's no problem. Bungie usually does a pretty good job with balance so if I want to by a gun for real money as opposed to fake game currency then that's my business.
