Microtransactions are Ruining Destiny

[b]Skip to the end(Bold text) if TLDR. [/b] Bungie needs to fix Festival of the Lost. And feels really like Bungie wants Destiny 1 to die a slow death. This micro-transaction bullshit is outrageous. The worst thing I seen you guys do. And you have done some Basic shit in the past. There should be other ways to get the Treasure stuff, not just buying the Treasure boxes. Even in Warframe, you can get mostly everything you want using in-game, not purchasing. Bungie completely ignores other micro-transaction systems, and decided to bar people completely from getting stuff, other than 3 free chances per account. The Treasure bags should drop Legendary masks from last year at least. They went too far, because now people that spend $$$ are getting Ghosts with high stat rolls from treasure boxes. And what some are spending money on are these Ghosts, and they are damn rare and look freaking cute. You literally just went and made it so people with $$$ can buy a bunch of stuff to improve their stat rolls. This is not even the main issue with Festival of the Cost. The problem is lack of new content. The entire event is locked behind the paywall or the cool stuff in it. At least with Crimson doubles, we got the ghost for free. Even my name is BYF is saying it, and he is usually #1 Bungie defender. Literally no content in this update other than something that feels like work. The broom is cool, but you guys need to add more content. Not just reskin shit. Same thing happened last year before Call of Duty came out. You are basically forcing people to stop playing when Activision releases their next game. Are you going to introduce SBBM back so that Crucible sucks too, or some other thing that lowers drop rates on loot to put the Nail in the Coffin that is Destiny? [b]Bottom line Bungie. If you are listening. I know you bury my posts since I spam a lot, and troll. But anyways I still have legitimate opinions. The bottom line is: you should add other ways to get Treasures you want, through grinding or doing Crucible. Why not let masks drop as rewards from Crucible? Yea make it rare, but at least its a fair trade. At this point you cannot fix it, but at least drop Legendary masks for us. This micro-transaction bullshit is outrageous. The worst thing I seen you guys do. And you have done some Basic shit in the past. And the main thing is add more content to the game. All this time you spend designing masks, you can be making new enemies, new weapons, new missions. Masks are great, but if its the only content, it's not good content.[/b] Look at the article from Ign: http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/10/31/destiny-devs-talk-space-travel-pc-and-microtransactions - back from 2013. URK said they wouldn't nickel and dime us. But that's exactly how I feel with this Festival of the Lost Event. Almost the entire event is locked behind RNG Paywall. Why are you doing this Bungie?

    Once they put in items that gave real pve or pvp benefit, they crossed the line. Microtransactions should always be for aesthetic purposes only.... i.e shaders, emblems, ornaments, etc. Never... never... NEVER anything that gives light or any advantage. Bungie fail.

      Man my Bad Juju skin is so -blam!-ing OP! I was just murdering shit left and right with it. I tell you man the bonuses from having that skin on were so game changing for me. I was soloing Aksis like it was nothing. And I cant forget my new emote. Terrify was amazing in Trials this week. I mean the fact it totally stuns your oppenents with total fear and makes them unable to move was literally the best investment I have put into Destiny. I mean dude when they added sterling treasures 6 months ago with that Taken gear it was the best thing ever. The grind was over. I could literally just sit down at home and open the boxes non stop for the perfect stated gear. It only took me 11,000$ to get that Tier 12 set of gear and I must say my KD went from .73 to .90 IN JUST 1 MONTH. I was just eating -blam!-ing shotgun rounds like nothing man. Didnt even do 10% to my shields. And snipers? Pffft, get real. Even True Vanguard couldnt touch me! His snipping skills were no match for my 6 eyes on that mask. And if I stuck to the shadows? You had zero chance. I am the grim reaper in crucible now! All hail the godly bonuses from the ornaments and taken gear!1!11!!11!!! Come at me TriplwWreck and Krafty and whoevert he -blam!-. I'll 1v10 you in my P2W gear lets go. (not bad talking, they are just the more prominent pvpers I could think of) Maybe if these things they are selling in the shop actually gave us additional stats you would have a argument. You dont though, its all cosmetic and literally has 0 impact in the game whatsoever . Get over yourself child and if it means that much to you to be able to get these emotes or skins for weapons, then pull up the big boy pants and go out and mow someones lawn for that almighty 10$.

      • Homie, they don't care. With any business it comes down to speaking with your wallet. And you and a couple hundred or even thousand people not buying these packs isn't going to even tickle them. And hell, if it works then why would you trash it?

      • I don't think there is anything wrong with selling cosmetic or holiday themed items. What I find greedy is how they add low drop rates to things like the Halloween ghost shells. What's the point of that? There is clearly no other reason to make it a extremely rare drop other then to rip people off with silver. They turn the event into a gambling simulator. A players rng for the Halloween ghosts should go up with every package the game sees them open. People can spend $20-$30+ and never get the ghost. What's fun about that? They should just sell the ghosts at this point for silver if Bungie wants to be that greedy

        • If you guys don't like the mechanics of the game, get the hell off of destiny. You really think destiny or activision is going to take business/financial advice from a bunch of randoms who most of you don't have degrees in either field? It's one thing to bitch about nerfs and buff but that shit doesn't cost them money to change. Keep on yelling at this wall! Im sure it'll fall down any time!

          • It's pretty sad what Bungie have done with Eververse and making it RNG because they didn't need to. Players want to support them and will through Eververse without them doing dumb shit like limiting us to one a week. Why they just can't let players purchase what they want and just charge higher prices for specific items is beyond me.

            ActiBungie has managed to make over 1 billion dollars with a mediocre game they are a having a proven record of constantly lieing about to the customers. Do you think they now would stop making more money by selling worthless extras for way too much money, when so many people are swallowing that, too? The only impression Bungie has left for me after having seen their handling of this game and their customers for two years is that the people in charge there must be some honorless arseholes of sorts. I just loathe them for their dishonesty and obvious, unveiled greed. They are in total disrespect of their customers, to the extent of not even deeming them worthy to ridicule them, but to simply ignore them as if they weren't there. The Destiny players are f*cking slaves in their system with the only purpose to pour their money into ActiBungies pockets. Move on, there's nothing to see here. :p

            • in my fireteam, If I see the ghost ghost ill ask how they got it, if it was by package you get from the quest line you stay, if it is by paying bungie for a chance you go , simple as that.

                • Yep was far better last year. Still no worthwhile content. They could have done it like in World of Warcrap with a boss you farm once a day for a chance at his mount and his helm. That at least gives you 12 chances to get the loot you wanted.

                • Last year those candy bags had to chance to get all masks. Yes u had to get glue but guess what THE BAGS COULD ALSO GIVE GLUE! This year its a giant paywall. Its absolutely disgusting! Not only that where the hell is this "content" Bungie said these Micro-Transactions were paying for? Maybe if u were HONEST and came out and told us what this content is Id be actually willing to spend maybe 5 dollars. Since however u refuse to comment and dont TALK to the community Im sure as hell not buying any silver.

                  • The issue with microtransactions came from Advanced Warfare's advanced supply drops. Because those things made Activision so much money it infected Destiny. To all of those who bought those supply drops I say, "Thank you for ruining Destiny events."

                  • Last year, if you wanted to get everything, then yes, you had to pay. But at least we were able to grind for all of the temporary masks, look over them all, and choose which three we wanted to keep permanently. If we're only going to get a chance to earn three boxes, each of which seems to have three rewards, we should get a choice of which three rewards come in each box, or some opportunity to swap one reward for another, like last year. This year, I worked my ass off pouring hours into the game to beef up my secondary characters (that I hardly used at all in the past year) and getting and charging stolen runes on them so my husband and I could have a chance at all three boxes. I literally carried him through one of the strikes. Out of three boxes, I got three old masks from last year and two temporary respawn items (not the one I wanted) that they've changed recently so they now last for only two hours instead of twelve (thanks, Bungie!). He got three new masks, the sparrow, and a new ghost. Someone please tell me how that's fair!!

                    • I feel the same way and I would of bought some boxes if and if rhere was a way to get more in game or the droo rate wasn't 1% BS . I love this game and the friends I made in the past years has been great. Bungie I have no problem with dropping some coin on you and Destiny but this one step forward, two steps backwards crap needs to stop , this community has done so much for you and charities we all support to mess up. Are you that much in the hole or what to do this? I may not finish my last character FOTL quest because why should I ? Let us make Bungie great again

                    • Eververse is just like those carnival games that you give 5 bucks to throw rings over a bottle and win a prize. The game is rigged and you have very low chance of winning the thing you want. Eververse is a Carney game pretending to be a store. It's brilliant and evil. Spend money for the chance at one of the things on display. Keep trying and you might just win. If Tess just called out like a Carney saying "try your luck at the Halloween shop for a chance to win a prize step right up" I think I would respect bungee more for that. At least you would know what you were getting into.

                    • They probably won't release the rates because they want to make you spend massive amount on something that has a very small chance of dropping. Here's the patch notes of a game I used to play. http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/66484 Notice the drop rates from a box? One of them is even 1%, but at least it's known. Bungie wants to hide that to get more money from the players, it's super shady, and downright dishonest.

                      My only issue is that if I'm willing to spend money, then I should be able to purchase exactly what I want and not a chance at those items. That definitely needs to change.
