Sparrow racing just a cleverly disguised micro transaction promotional event.

Want a snazzy sparrow get your cash out. **edit** Just read on here that to get the best loot you have to buy a book for 10 dollars, is this true?

    • Yeah let's all just believe every bit of speculation posted on here. Great idea. How about you wait to condemn it until it's released, at least? Be a little less idiotic? Or is that really too difficult?

      • I don't know about anyone else but I know a lot of hobbies other then Online gaming that are a hell of a lot more expensive then this. If you don't like it Online gaming isn't a hobby for you.

        • The fanciest outfits and items will be sold for silver, everything else will be obtainable, supposedly the book as well. Doesn't make it any less dumb, however

        • I agree. I don't care if they are just cosmetic micro transactions. Every single thing should be earnable in game by playing.

              • This just in, video games are a cleverly disguised plot to trade polygons and gameplay for your money!

              • There is nothing clever OR disguised about it. If anyone was paying attention and ignoring the hype and misinformation (free DLC) Bungie came right out and posted EXACTLY what Eververse was for. This IS what the rest of Destiny will be (until Destiny 2). Since Bungievi$ion now knows that people will shell out REAL currency on silly items, all you are going to get are events to purchase.... MORE silly items. Seriously, why would Bungievi$ion bother with the expense of producing "new" DLC content when far too many people are content with "throwing money at their screens" for cosmetic items? The mass purchases of Silver actually killed any chance of actual gameplay content for the rest of Destiny 1.

                • You mean a business makes a product that people want to buy while offering free stuff in the process? Inconceivable. Unheard of.

                  • I dont understand the whining about microtransactions....I am ok with it as long as it's not part of how you win at playing "you know" THE GAME! When they start charging for armor or weapon exclusives...then we have a problem

                  • I don't think it's all that disguised. I'm still on the side of "I'm okay with micro transactions, so long as it's not pay to win".

                  • Would you be happier if the only way to sparrow race would be to pay for it? It costs money to continue to develop a game. Lots of salaries to pay for. I think it's awfully generous of bungie to allow players to experience the content for free without putting a purchase lock on it.

                            • Sparrow Racing is Bungie running out of ideas to keep people playing. Gotta do better than that, folks. Give us brand new story missions on never before seen levels( that aren't old ones but backwards), new voice overs and introduce new characters and then we'll talk. Seems like all the folks that put this game down was right.
