Who else came to laugh at the crybabies?
Almost EVERY game has some kind of micro-transaction like this. As they've said it won't impact the gameplay in any way, so if you don't like it then don't buy it, it's a pretty simple concept really.
Edit, if you are one of those crybabies, read this Kotaku article.

Just swinging by to laugh at the people justifying microtransactions in Destiny. Oh, you think people buying emotes for probably like 2-4$ each is going to grant you any kind of, "quality", "free" content ? Highly doubtful. Look at what we got for $20. Both of the previous dlc's were pretty much shit. However, people think purchasing these lower priced cosmetic items is going to grant you guys anything near a $20 dlc ? That's hilarious and being EXTREMELY naive. People put way too much trust into this developer. They might throw out maybe a handful of exotics, maybe a quest line here or there, and maybe a mission or two. Hey, technically it's "free" content lmfao. But you guys will praise it with everything you have in you for whatever reason, is beyond me. It's obnoxious how quickly people will jump to get these things. If you think bungie and Activision needs MORE money to fund small content like that, you're delirious as hell. Look at the money made from launch. Look at the money made from TDB. Look at the money made from HoW. Look at the money made from TTK. Not including the bonus' offered from buying certain TTK dlc packs. Look at the contract between bungie and Activision. If bungie makes certain milestones that get VERY large bonus'. One for example, was a $25m bonus for reaching acceptable ratings from gaming critics. But yeah, you guys are right, they need petty money from petty microtransactions to help fund the "free" content. If you guys are going to try and defend something, atleast educate yourselves before you come up with bullshit arguments trying to defend every single move that bungie decides to make.
