I got the money so I'll buy it, who are you to tell me not to buy shit I want ? I earned my money working hard. It's my choice, not yours. People need to grow up and worry about themselves rather then someone you don't know and will never met most likely.

Isn't it more logical that if you buy silver, bungie will have more money, making free dlcs more likely? [spoiler]still won't be buying them lol[/spoiler]

I am not interested in purchasing a fake currency to buy in game vanity items, but I would like to offer a small rebuttal that does make sense. While you did buy the CE for physical and in-game vanity items for an additional $40, which serves no purpose in life other than fulfilling a need to gather and collect. The value of your physical items may cover $30 of the increased price. If someone were to spend $10 and get 3 emotes, shaders and some other silly item, who could say that's not fair to them? They increased their base purchase by $10 to get on par to CE without the physical elements. Making the purchase on par with your own. If this was something available to people who put value into it, who are we to tell them no? It's not sensible nor is it wise but it's not our decision. I also saw no "free dlc" statement but if the outcome is a bigger game with more content down the road, I welcome it.

I'm buying all of them to annoy people like you

[quote]It will go away. If everyone in the community shows some self restraint and doesn't spend a penny on "silver", they'll scrap it.[/quote]Yes, very likely you're right. But it won't happen. You see, cosmetics are extremely big sellers in microtransaction land. How much are people paying for hats in Team Fortress 2 again?[quote]EDIT: Looks like some people forgot the Collectors Edition came with [b]physical[/b] collectibles. And yes, the Strange Coin does look nice on the shelf with my other gaming collectibles.[/quote]The digital Collector's Edition was the same price as the physical and I bet a lot of people bought it. I bet even more paid the $20 to get the Collector's upgrade.[quote]EDIT: Seriously, anyone who thinks people who bought the collectors edition for 80 bucks paid that just to get three emotes and three class items must be so brainwashed by pre-order culture that they've forgotten that collectors edition and pre-order bonus's used to come with, and sometimes still do come with, actual [b]physical[/b] collectibles.[/quote]They did if they bought it digital. Many, many people did. Even more people paid $60 total for The Taken King to get them instead of $40.[quote]EDIT: Saying you'll do it to "support Bungie" is not a valid argument. 60 for the game, 20 for the expansion pass, and 40 for TTK, is plenty of damn support.[/quote]It's not a valid argument because it isn't an argument at all. It's a statement of intent. If they were trying to convince other people to buy it to support them, maybe you'd have a point. But they're just telling you that they are going to do it.[quote]EDIT AGAIN: [quote]Our plan is to use these new items to bolster the service provided by our live team for another full year, as they grow and create more robust and engaging events that we’ll announce later this year. It has been, and continues to be, our goal to deliver updates to the game. Going forward, our live team is also looking to grow beyond vital updates and improvements to focus on world events, experiences, and feature requests[/quote] Hmmm, interesting, I don't see the word "free" followed by "DLC" anywhere in there.[/quote]No, you're quite right. However, what you apparently didn't catch in your quote is that the Live Team is responsible for periodic game updates outside of DLC releases. They started with four people pushing vital updates. Now they're growing. The bigger the Live Team gets, the more "free" stuff we get. The more Silver we buy, the bigger the Live Team gets. Therefore, the more Silver we buy, the more "free" stuff we get.[quote]EDIT: Anyone who's read more than one Kotaku article knows their specialty is rumors and speculation. Show me a confirmed verifiable quote from a Bungie employee confirming free DLC out of this.[/quote]No one can, because there isn't one.
