I'm with you, Bungie. But watch your step.
Bungie,
I support your decision to add emotes to Destiny via micro transactions. I know there are plenty of others who do as well. But there is one thing that you, as the developer, need to do for this community. You need to promise that these transactions will never end up being pay to win. It is a fear that many in this community have. Those people need reassurance that they will never see a weapon for sale or any item attached to player performance or progression. Those players need a guarantee from you that you will not let this get out of hand. Those players and all other players need to be sure that this game will stay true to its main goal and values. If the micro transactions ever get out of hand as talked about above, this game will have lost its soul and many of the players who believe in it.
Provide some form of solid, informative reply to the above, Bungie. Your community needs an answer.
Leave your support, criticism or comments, guardians.
Edit: Let's get this seen, everyone. This post and all the discussion happening below it is important for Bungie to see.
Edit #2: I just wanted to make my personal stance on this subject clear. I genuinely believe that these microtransactions will only ever exist as cosmetic items. I don't believe they'll move to pay to win. I do, however, believe it is important that Bungie states their full intentions (for now and in the future) regarding these transactions.

Seriously, bring out the vanity items in full. Would love to see full outfits that once equipped would take the place of all your armor (visuals only folks!), item/weapon skins (e.g. add bayonette, color weapon, add blood splatter to weapon or front of your sparrow), and maybe a personal space (call it our own apartment in the tower) where you can set up, purchase furniture, show trophies (plaques), bring women (JK), whatever. Emotes that actually allow you to sit on a chair/couch, or perform an action with an item (e.g. see a computer, equip and use certain emote to simulate interaction with it... would work something along the lines of how your ghost alerts you when you're in proximity of a scannable item). More custom standard type shaders, emotes (how about some farting and burping emotes in the future), emblems, sparrows... the list can go on and on. Speaking of emotes... once you create one that makes a noise you might want to give us the option to mute audible emotes (I can see it now, fart wars in the tower) Never make anything purchasable change actual game play in any way, or the guy/girl with the bigger wallet will sh*t on the one's who can't or will not purchase items.
