Bungie, Bright Engrams need to be reworked

This isn't a post to cry about how microtransactions is killing Destiny.  It's more about how to make them more appealing.  While I am believer that loot boxes and microtransactions are good for the industry, but the problem that i see. They are implemented wrong and always end up leaving a bad taste in our mouths. [b]Bright Engram (loot boxes) [/b] Leaving everything up to chance is an easy way to generate funds, but the problem is it's more RNG than chance.  While Bungie did introduce “Dust” and gave us a chance to purchase Eververse items in game.  The problem is all the good items are behind the paywall and when it come down to it, it's still up chance to get them.   [b]Microtransactions[/b] This option is more gamer friendly and doesn't leave it up to RNG.  Although this might not generate funds as fast or even equal to Bright Engrams.  [b][u]The main thing, it give us gamers a choice to buy what we want.  [/u][/b] [b]Eververse Weekly Lost and Found sale[/b] 10 slots of vault space- 500 silver or 1k dust Unlimited ammo synthesis with 5 minute cooldown- 1k silver or 5k dust 10k increase glimmer cap- 10k dust 1k Dust- 500 silver 5k Dust- 1k silver 10k Dust- 2k silver Exotic emotes- 750 silver or 2500 dust Exotic sparrow- 750 silver or 2500 dust Exotic skins- 750 silver or 2500 dust Legendary emotes- 500 silver or 1k dust Armor transmog set- 2k silver or 10k dust Eververse shaders unlimited- 1k silver or 5k dust Having a silver vendor that rotates weekly, builds hype each week.  Although one thing that I notice needs a change is removing Bright Engrams from Eververse completely and only offering Microtransactions. Keeping Bright Engram as an item guardians receive when leveling pass 20. As loot boxes continue to gain momentum on being a means to gambling in video games.  Bungie need to show the fans a hand of good faith and offer a means to stand with them.

  • .... no silver for more vault space just give me more vault space or fix the inventory system that is causing me to have limited vault space ... the shaders/mods personally I have found that if you get your 3 weekly bright engrams per character due to boosted xp it works ok if you are going after the exotic emotes and whatever... they reward you sorta fairly.. what does bother me though is still having the system left as chance and not having a way to just purchase certain things if you wanted to... not a fan of gambling so won't pay... but would i pay an extra dollar for full cool looking armor set??? possibly... issue I have with destiny is just having no real incentive to play it and to be frank on the pvp side... when your used to playing with 6 people for raids and did pvp for fun but now you have to kick two buddies aside to even do pvp... its just not fun.. we go to other games now

    • They already have a rotating stock each week. The LAST thing Bungie needs to be putting their time into is bloody micro-transactions. They should focus on actually making their game worthy of that 90$ price tag before they turn their attention to attempting to squeeze change out of people. What they SHOULD do is scrap the eververse and lock exotic ships,sparrows and emotes behind interesting challenges and activities. As well as remove all those completely and utterly useless blue mods from their bright engram pool.

          I got all the exotic emotes, ships, and sparrows without paying a dime. I also got the full optimacy set and tons of the legendary ships, sparrows, shaders, and ghosts as well. All for just playing the way I normally do. That is a good thing.

          • Ehh... I haven’t paid a dime and I’ve gotten everything I wanted except the Bandwagon Ship. (I love that it’s a Cabal Harvester) As long as they don’t sell anything that directly effects gameplay I am okay with micro transactions.

            • I'm sure you people complaining just look for things to be ignorant about. Everything literally everything from eververse you can earn in game for free.
