Okay so as people guessed Bungie was testing us with micro transactions and now they are adding more. The more people continue to support these transactions then the more likely they will continue and get even worse!
We need to stop this! I'll post pics soon!

EDIT 2:
Along with Bungie pushing in more and more microtransactions they are also not planning to do any DLC until Destiny 2!!

EDIT 3: Bungie you're ruining this game!!
Another guardian posted a post like this and COZMO commented and he didn't deny the pictures at all. They care for nothing except money.
Boycott BungieVision!
Trending: Keep it up everyone!!
Edit: Rumble is now single player? Are you serious Bungie??? You now have no game types in which you can play against your friends...good -blam!-ing job!!!
Edit 2: You can still play classic free-for-all on year one maps with a fireteam of 3.
Play this while you can! My guess is it will also soon be gone! RIP competitive multiplayer with friends!
Edit: Cozmo said that sparrow racing was put in because of popular demand. How long have we been asking for private matches in crucible?
Edit: Are exotics the only thing being time gated?
*The simple answer is "NO".
*How do I know this? Well for one the "Kings Fall Challenge Mode" was said to be under development and would be later released but when challenge mode came out there was "NO PATCH". This is because it was time gated to extend the life of the game in hopes that they can make it to the next DLC. Which is said to be "Destiny 2". Meaning they are holding content that you paid for, whether you knew about it or not.
*How does this make you feel??
Edit: TheNobleGuardian
*Imagines Luke Smith sitting in chair as more and more books and silver are purchased
The Luke Smith slowly brings his cup of coffee up to his mouth
"It's all going according to plan..."
The Luke Smith then sips his coffe, and a smile slowly emerges on his face.
"And they said they wouldn't throw money at the screen."
"He then smiles with glee, leans back in his chair, and takes in the view from his Penthouse suite."
Edit: Recently looked at the amount of emotes that ESO has and they triple the amount or emotes in Dwstiny. Guess what is crazy about it? They all come with the game, and not as a paid microtransaction.
Edit: For those of you who enjoy SRL this is Deej comment on a petition to make SRL permanent.
"Don't sign the petition. Play.
Maybe even grab a Sparrow.
I'm out there. Race me."
Have any of you raced Deej?
This guy did.... http://m.imgur.com/lr68N8o
Thanks for at least holding to your word Deej!!!
Edit: For those who like to Race!

"You need the "Air Control" perk on the SRL helmets, the one that lets you use the left stick to push the sparrow down in the air. I had no idea how much it would help until I unlocked the perk. I went from placing 3rd-4th every game to 10-15 seconds ahead of everyone by the end of the race.
It will let you drop faster after jumps and hold the sparrow to the ground and hold the corners better. It makes a world of difference. Just remember to pull back on the stick or let go of the stick for jumps with a large gap of you won't make the other side.
Also take the shortcuts if you can, they help a lot."

EDIT: -blam!- off Bungie. Asking for $30 for a class boost is stupid.
You guys should just drop the servers and save everyone the time.

It's true the book is not worth it. Don't buy it but bungie I think realizes that this game is starting to lose its base so they are going into research mode by giving us free things to see if we like it or not, and Tess will sell us stuff so that it will fund the free stuff. And all of these awesome ideas will go into Destiny 2. So I say test away bungie, I want the next destiny to be everything that it should be

2 AntwortenShut up already.

2 AntwortenI will buy literally everything I can with silver, just to keep the tears flowing.

4 AntwortenStfu. I'll play the game how I want. I've got enough people telling me what to do at work. I don't need some whiny 12 year old trying to as well.

[quote]Don't buy the BOOK!!![/quote] Which book. [b]This one?![/b]

Or, what if, all of the silver people purchased, are funding the free events (if you bought TTK), like SRL, and future events. I dunno, just a thought instead of complaining. .-.

2 AntwortenToo late.

What bungie is a company that wants to make money? Whoa my mind is blown... I thought bungie was a charity...

3 AntwortenMicrotranscations are not a test, or new. They might be new to you, which is fine, but they've been around for a long time. They aren't going anywhere. Take a look at the financial statements of companies who use them, they are a pretty significant amount of revenue. If you look at Activisions Q3 financials, you will see a significant amount of their revenue comes from subscriptions, dlc, and micro transactions. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, revenue from these services was about 48% of the 3.3Bn revenue. Lots of money huh? Not really, the cost to realize this 3.3Bn was ~2.2Bn. (Before interest and taxes). Their net income was actually 733MM from that 3.3Bn. If Activision didn't have revenue from subscription, dlc, and microtransactions, they would very likely not be making money. I can't say for sure because their costs would decrease as these services do cost money to provide. I can't tell from their financials though. If they weren't making money, we wouldn't have any games from them. :(

1 AntwortenI used up the free silver and that's it. I have no interest in micro transactions, and at this rate I probably will have no interest in future dlc.

They won't make it pay to win. Ever. So you can buy it

1 AntwortenOMG people please stop bitching about everything about this game. If people want to pay $10 for a book that is at best good for a week, since everything can be done very quickly, so what? If Bungie wants to make some money off this game that they develop for and work on constantly, SO WHAT???? Do you not remember the days when a company would put out a game and then nothing would be released until the sequel? Now companies hire full time staff to develop and tend to the game for year or more... Do you think these people work for free? Seriously, people around here have to get some kind of perspective, step out of whatever bubble they live in and grow up for Gods Sake. This game was not meant for you alone there are millions who play and enjoy it. If you don't move on.

1 AntwortenHave you seen the size of Luke smith , I don't think it's coffee he brings to his mouth maybe a 30 piece fried chicken bucket rests on his legs with a greasy chicken leg hanging from his mouth with fat dribbling down his chin .

Get. A. Grip.

1 AntwortenMy god this post needs nerfed.

1 AntwortenToo late.

1 AntwortenBought it, and wearing the full outfit, everywhere!

3 AntwortenAlready bought it.

6 AntwortenDon't need to tell me, not wasting my money on microtrans, none of them have been worth their full price so far. $10 for a short term item that lasts three weeks...half the cost of either the Dark Below or House of Wolves either of which had far more content for the money and have no such time restriction...aside from the loss of the Blade and Wolf Pack events. I know the proceeds support the live team, but the item value will need to be a bit more substantial before I even entertain the idea of considering a purchase.
-
1 AntwortenI'm buying it right now just because of you..
-
2 AntwortenI will never buy silver.

Don't tell me what to do, I'm an independent goblin.

2 AntwortenDo you not realize this is free content? Seriously? This is the result of microtransactions and you want them gone?
-
2 AntwortenDo guardians even book bro?

2 AntwortenDestiny as we all knew and loved it in Year 1 is officially dead and gone. I don't know what this game is anymore, but I freaking hate it. They've completely ruined it.
