For the love that of the Traveler, BLACKSMITH SHOULD NOT BE A RARE COSMETIC ITEM GIVEN AWAY FOR CONTESTS AND EVENTS.
IT IS A PREORDER BONUS THAT NEEDS TO AT LEAST BE SOLD ON THE MARKET PLACE.
You wanna take our BLAM!ing money by releasing the collector's edition content separately, BUT YOU CAN'T DO IT FOR ONE LOUSY SHADER THAT MOST PEOPLE DON'T EVEN WEAR ONCE THEY GET IT?
At this rate you'll go, oh let's release the original CE cosmetics and not give a damn about Blacksmith. You're business are giving me the hugest of migraines just because of how stupid they are. I get screwed out of it from moving generations when all your equipment transfers over.
Honestly, you screw over the community more than you please it, this day is no exception. I couldn't care less if you don't give out free equipment, but something that should NOT BE HARD TO GET IS RARE IS JUST YOU RUBBING A MIDDLE FINGER IN THE COMMUNITIES FACES. Instead we have scalpers who charge outrageous amounts for it.
I haven't felt this angry since REACH'S MULTIPLAYER, SINCE YOU DIDN'T FIX THAT EITHER.
[b]Important Edit:
Here are my two links of trying to get this problem fixed while having community members telling me either bullshit or not helping me at all.

MAJOR EDIT:
For those who think that I'm complaining over something so silly, here is a quote for you:
"Do you forget all the times you go third person in this game? Because you should remember that's a part of the experience too.
Seeing your character pull of a super that ends up saving your team or demolish the enemy, protecting with the relic or smacking Crota around.
Having the character the way you want them to look is a part of the experience. Because not only do you look cool, but your stylish as hell while doing so.
So it being locked behind a paywall, or in this case, a code that now ties to your account is by all means something that impacts my experience."
[b]Edit 1: Seems that this piece of info got left out so I'll say it here.
I UPGRADED FROM PS3 TO PS4 THIS YEAR AND THE SHADER IS LOCKED OUT FOR ME, THIS IS THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THIS THREAD BECAUSE BUNGIE IS DOING JACK SH!T ABOUT IT.[/b]
[b]Edit 2: Review to the imgur link in one of the comments below, maybe you'll learn to say something that isn't spam.

[b]Edit 3: From my recent post:
" https://community.activision.com/thread/201034662?q=blacksmith
Like to bring something to attention, this goes for people who say I should take this argument to Activision. If you view the link above, the mods say to take "Destiny Support related issues you'll need to head over to Bungie's help page, Bungie : Help | Bungie.net".
So guess what, it's a never ending circle and it needs to stop.
Bungie needs to address this along side what they're doing right now."
Edit 4: " https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/139845580/0/0/1
That's where I draw a line, how the hell is that fair for people who upgraded and got screwed over? Low of the low, Bungie."[/b]

It's an ugly ass shader anyway (yes I have it)
-
If u preorder advanced warfare when u preorder destiny back when it was new u get blacksmith free at gamestop. So pretty much quite a few people own it
-
Quit your crying, there's other shaders in the game. You're making a big deal over nothing, there's other shaders in the game, like bloodpact... Huehuehue
-
You don't understand. The little things that normal developers and consumers find to me miniscule and easy to create are what bungie prides themselves on. With such little Content you can clearly see how hurt they are/were since launch due to nobody being stujningly blinded for the past year off of visual effects alone. When they make an emote of a golf clap they LOVE that golf clap. With the hours and hours they dedicated to making that guardians hands smack togeather not too hard but at the same time not too soft, who WOULDNT throw money at the screen?
-
Really dude? Still?
-
I've been summoned..
-
I dont even rember my first shader. Their should be more shaders, I mean 100s available. That would be nice.
-
No. Blacksmith should of never been released publicly. The rarest shader in the game, ruined. The value of it is shit now
-
Wheres the blacksmith?!?
-
If they do something like a give away/prize I would like it to go to people that don't have one. I personally know a couple of people that have been awarded/given 3. Would love to have one but know I probably won't get one which is fine. It is what it is.
-
A preorder bonus should stay a preorder bonus. And a rare prize should stay a rare prize
-
I had it since day 1 and always wear it what u talking about
-
Edited by Wolven Yor: 8/2/2015 8:00:08 PMI already have Blacksmith, so why would I want another one? (if i won btw) I would rather have a custom shader and emblem , designed to my own spec tbh
-
This post is so stupid. People only want Blacksmith because it's rare, but if everyone gets it it'll just be another cheap shader. I don't understand people.
-
I wouldn't preorder a piece of shit game like AW even if I get a shiny shader
-
Give it to players who completed Moments of Triumph before it began.
-
What's the craze with this shader? I've had it since Day One and have never used it because it looks blah.
-
$5 it should be sold for. Payed $5 for mine
-
Last time we did this it cost us $20
-
Technically because I bought/preordered the Advanced Warfare Xbox One I should have gotten this shader code as Advanced Warfare came with the system, but I never considered it a super amazing shader. Still it would be nice to have I suppose. Does seem like a poor prize when it was supposed to be linked to preorder of AW. Still, better than Glowhoo which is more like a curse than a reward for beating Crota considering how ugly it is lol.
-
...why do you even care? There's a stupid amount of shaders already in the game that drop readily, can be bought, and earned via faction rep. I've got my vault near full of nothing but shaders and [i]still[/i] have tons on [i]all[/i] my characters! Not having one shader is not the end of the world.
-
Where is the option for OP is a try hard millennial who thinks everyone should get trophies for participation
-
Communist.
-
I don't even care it's a ugly ass shader
-
I dont get how this is a big deal you had your chance and it didnt cost a dime to get it. Hell i preorder aw and canceled it when i saw the trailer. Honestly the shader sucks and the oracle 99 looks better
-
If everyone is special, no one is special
