This is how it starts.
"It's just emotes" you say. "Don't complain and don't buy it" you say. "Companies have to make money too" you say.
But if this proves to be successful, it will just get worse. Now it's emotes. Next it's ships and shaders. Then it's engrams. Then it's weapons and armor.
If we let them get away with this, they will try to get away with more. We have to draw a line and say "no further". We have to stamp out microtransactions here and now.
We can't let them get away with this.
I'm up for argument if you disagree with me.
[b]EDIT:[/b] I've read through the update again and saw nothing about free DLC anywhere.
[b]EDIT:[/b] For people using the slippery slope argument: that argument can go either way. They might not ever add any besides cosmetics, but it's better to be safe than sorry. They are more likely to put in more in the future if we respond to this first venture positively.
[b]EDIT:[/b] 1000th comment! Woooo!
[b]EDIT:[/b] These replies are starting to make me feel depressed. So many people are just willing to throw their money at bungie.
[b]EDIT:[/b] After reading many replies and having many debates, I can see that It might be okay. As long as they stay just cosmetic, I guess that the desticles will be paying for all of my DLC this year. As long as it stays as cosmetics until the end of the series, I'll be fine.

7 RepliesSo sick of the slippery slope argument you guys are peddling. This will not go to pay to win. Any company this large realizes you can't go pay to win and keep a large fan base. They will lose so many players if they do.
-
1 ReplyYou are aware slippery slope is a logical fallacy, right?
-
Everyone complained about Dead Space 3 getting transactions but this is fine.
-
2 RepliesLol that last edit. If you think they are going to give free dlc, you probably going to really upset.
-
You have no proof that Bungie [b]will[/b] make the game P2W and that's where your argument breaks down. Slippery slope [u]without evidence[/u] is a logical fallacy

2 RepliesEdited by Sturm with no Drang: 10/6/2015 1:42:09 PMHere are my beliefs/reasons that give me reason to disagree: 1: it's not required/mandatory like the dlc or online membership services, 2: It would [b]only[/b] apply to emotes as there are no other ways(except the CE) to receive emotes while there are many Pay-toll free ways to receive everything else like shaders and such, and 3: It is rather minuscule and would barely have potential to develop into something larger as the amount of players who would be willing to buy into it would barely match up to the cost of making and designing the details. Now, I [b][i]could[/i][/b] be wrong with my assumptions and all of these players who are overly concerned or worried wouldn't be too far from the truth(not surprising judging from Activision's recent involvement), but until it happens nobody can say for sure(unless they have serious experience in Marketing, which I do not). I recently bought an Xbox Live 3-month membership card that came with a card for $5 of XboxLive credits and I intend to use it since there really isn't much else I can use it on. That's just my [b][i][u]opinion[/u][/i][/b] on this matter and if there is anyone who is willing to give me a counter-argument that is sound, free of insults or accusations, and is willing to acknowledge more than a single stance on this topic then I'll be more than happy to converse and listen to them. Otherwise(as they say in the forums), "GTFO."

Why useless dance emotes? Why not something we've been clamoring for for a long time? Why not use this new currency to re-customize our characters? If Mark Noseworthy (the -blam!-ing Executive Producer) is complaining about this not being in the game, I feel that now is a perfect time to add it in. But, hey, that's just me.

10 RepliesThe ONLY way I would be for this is if they used that money to buy a damn dedicated server!!

1 ReplyI bet they just looked at all the people who bought the editions for just emotes. Also from the people who were asking to just buy the emotes. They saw that and said hey, lets give people what they want. More snowflake status. Which the micro transactions will do to a degree. I bet it will go as far as emotes, sharers, ships, maybe emblems, and consumables like the pumpkin head and bat vial from last Halloween. I fairly doubt they will add armor, weapons, or any engrams or consumables that effect the actual game because then it will take people away from the grind and ultimately play it less. Bunhie very much wants you in the game playing as much as they can get you. If they add play to win transactions it would kill their game and they know it. This games too profitable as it is to risk that and it will continue to be very profitable depending on their new micro transactions and future paid content. If any real nickle and dimming to pay to win comes it will come at the franchise end or long after it to help people max out and gear up faster to just experiance the endgame faster once it's a dead series.

NO MORE MICRO DLC!!!!!!

Edited by An Octoling: 10/6/2015 1:30:44 PMIt's like league of legends Everything you buy is cosmetic

2 RepliesThis is what happens when people complain about paying for $40 for dlc. Never mind the fact that the content we got was well worth the money. Be prepared to be nickeled and dimed from here on out because the expansions were too "expensive."
-
4 RepliesThe fever, the rage. That turns good men....Cruel.

10 RepliesRead the Kotaku article, it states that Destiny year 2 will only have one paid expansion: Destiny 2, all new storyline additions until then are free, and come in the form of short quests every couple weeks, and larger packs every couple months. Destiny 2 will be $60
-
Before we start jumping to conclusions, how about we wait for such a thing to happen before we act like Bungie just shot us in the stomach. At least it is just cosmetic... Even single-player games have them now.
-
1 Replyemotes will become the new paywall lol, "you need silver cloak to participate in the raid, strikes, and story missions."
-
4 RepliesMy problem isn't with putting cosmetic things like emotes in the game for real money transactions, my problem is that they are spending time creating these things, instead of fixing issues, bugs and imbalance that are breaking the game. They have all our DLC money, why are we now paying for extra emotes and not getting quicker fixes? I can choose not to buy emotes, I cant chose when to balance abilities or weapons (Remember 9 months of Thorn/Blink/Shotgun Meta?)
-
This is where it ends as well Bungie and Activision know that the real money is in sales of the game and dlc.
-
10 RepliesSo many people assuming. Paid emotes for free content for a year? Yes please.
-
Edited by Fireclown: 10/6/2015 1:20:19 PMI don't disagree. Your right and it makes me feel bad because these people are just throwing their money away. Come next time there is a large change, like there was with the Armour and Weapons not carrying over or upgradable, all your bought Emotes, and whatever else that will be sold, will be discontinued!
-
2 RepliesIs this the beginning of the downfall for this game????

Just watch all the bungie puppets go in defend mode. I'm speaking more towards all the youtubers and podcaster that get free trips to play the content.
