I have played WoW and Destiny since Vanilla in both. And WoW has RAF. So why is it acceptable in one and not the other? Content. The reason RAF works in WoW and not Destiny is because the extra mount in WoW was just that--EXTRA. If I never did the RAF, I could still roll for a still rarer mount in a raid, or farm a rare like TLPD or Aeonaxx. In other words, there is so much sheer content in WoW that one mount is literally lost among [i]hundreds[/i], and the in-game stuff comes with more prestige (and is cooler) than the RAF rewards, so only the mount enthusiasts have to care about recruiting. Destiny does not have enough content to justify RAF. Essentially, someone [i]must[/i] spend $40 dollars so you can get the best looking sparrow in the game. The problem with this is that in Destiny is that there are SO FEW epic sparrows (if you weren't given the two apology sparrows in YR1) that this new and very cool sparrow is instantly desirable to every player. And there are [i]so few[/i] swords that not having access to these new ones is an insult. The emblem, dances, and shader most people could care less about. Epic sparrows have greater speed. Swords are a unique, fan-favorite weapon. Not cosmetic items. So with this new gear, it's not just one item out of hundreds being denied to the players--it's one thing out of [i]tens[/i]. Maybe. It's [i]three of nine[/i] with swords. [i]One third[/i]. Which means that, AGAIN, the veteran player base is being cut off from content we want, and frankly deserve, unless we find MORE people, or pay for another account. And it is the veteran player base who has been recruiting friends for you all along that is being once again screwed. We have been recruiting for a year. I have brought three guardians into the game myself. This is simple stuff, Bungie. Do you even care? Hire me. I can fix this game/do better promotions in my SLEEP. [b]EDIT: Seriously, Bungie, hire me. [/b]
