Disagree, partially. Micro transactions are perfectly acceptable for things like cosmetics, armor variations, coloring, styles, etc. However, micro transactions for weapons and or armor that gives people an advantage, should be avoided at all costs. I'd gladly pay for the ability to customize my guardian, I want to be different after all, but I don't believe in micro transaction armor and weapons that have an effect on game play. Activision did that with the ripper in cod, and while not inherently bad, it was annoying to have to deal with, and your almost forced into having to purchase just to even the playing field. So detrimental to the gaming quality. I'd rather work for rare weaponry/armor than pay for it.

    This to a certain degree. 3rd party character designs yes, bungie original works no. I don't want to have to pay for something I could get for free. Nightcrawler x-men warlock shader and tail(chest plus tail instead of cape, yes please. Wolverine Titan shader with claws gauntlets, yes please, gambit hunter shader and purple red golden gun skin, why not. I'm sure other examples include some other chars. I'm sure the halo fans would love an exact replica master chief(Titan) and I'd play as crisis Alcatraz/prophet (hunter). Personally I'd like my Titan to resemble Samus or Zero(megamanX) Microtrans for 3rd party stuff is cooler cause you're paying for the license and the labor.

  • Exactly what I meant by different armors. Nothing that gives advantages. But I would like to see armor variants from other franchises, like an assassin's Creed style cloak for hunters (not really, just an example). But third party stuff like that would be cool for added customization, and should be micro transaction. As long as it's not pay to win transactions, it shouldn't matter, as it becomes an option, not a necessity.

  • But all the things should come with one armor piece and one shader to sell the character better

  • That I'm not so sure about. If I'm going to get into micro transactions, make it one whole set, I will tend to stay away from buying things piece meal.

    Yeah but the cosmetic aspect is negated and it becomes pay to win. The one item could add features to the whole suit and not add too much else besides light.

    Asking MT in a game that already has means of refound for devs is stupid and nothing less than that. You already pay them the game and 20€ each 3 month with no server to host games to maintain. No need to ask them to get shitload of money for near to 0 work out of players. Ask for cosmetic as in game choices. Wanting to be robbed is utterly stupid. I'm sad that so much of idiotic players are part of gaming community

  • I actually don't pay every three months, as I purchase a yearly subscription to Playstation plus. That note a side, why are we idiotic gamers if we decide we want to pay for cool cosmetic touches? They do nothing to effect game play, other than give us a different look, and if we're okay paying for that, then so be it. What makes you am idiotic gamer is when you start dumping money into pay to win micro transactions like clash of clans or the such. Grow up man.

  • I meant DLC for destiny. What make you a idiotic player? The same thing that make you willing to pay for nothing developers. You already play this game so ask to get the full out of it. Ask the cosmetics as part of the game. Don't ask to pay for nothing dumbass

  • The Cosmetics are already in the game. But if they develop new armor looks or a different shader color, and make it a micro transaction, I don't find that unacceptable. It then becomes your option to purchase them if you want a different look for your armor, like what they did with the call of duty color variations. I didn't pay for them, cause i didnt care for any of them, except the extinction related skins. I'd do the same for destiny armors, not because the game content is not there, but because the option to have a different look is there.

  • Why are so idiotic. If they create tem they will add them in the game or at worst in the DLC but why you want to pay more? It's for dubasses like you that we get my everywhere

  • To me paying for cosmetic that are made post launch is perfectly fine. I'd never miss that £0.69-£1 I paid for that new shader. the £20 I pay for DLC content will never be missed either. To be honest these are tiny amounts of money for many people. if you are not financially independent then I can see how these things could upset you. You may argue it's not about the money but the fact we are charged at all, but who gives a shit if it makes people happy for the cost of a bar of chocolate. Day 1 DLC is always robbery though

  • You want to add a cash shop in game and you hope this will be made only for third party? Open cash shop and it will be flooded. Never ask to open a cash shop in a game Oh and the huge amount of work behind a shader.... Choose 3 colors. 10 minutes? How much money you want sucked from community for 10 minutes of work?

  • I'm fine with DLC if the work is worth but 1) asking a way to abuse ppl is idiotic 2) cosmetic is near to 0 work, you can make it as payment only if it's the only means to earn from the game. Let that cosmetic things in a game you already pay come with free updates or the DLC. Asking to pay for something you are already paying is beyond stupidity

  • Yeah who pays people when they provide them with a service? If I go see a movie sequel I never pay because I payed to see the first one.
