The Skull Mask was implemented very poorly.
Just saying. You either get stupidly lucky and get it from Eva's 'free' Package that Tess sells, or you go cough up money to have a CHANCE of getting it. All other masks can be obtained through the "Candy Bag" RNG, and then upgraded to Legendary through the RNG Paper Glue, but the Skull Mask? You're pretty much paying to spin a wheel for it and getting a complementary reward (The Legendary Mask) for your attempt.
It doesn't help that the flavor text implies it'll be exclusive to the 2015 event either.
[spoiler]Amazing cash grab, Bungie. I'm expecting to see more of this in the future.[/spoiler]
EDIT: The item being cosmetic isn't the point. It's the fact that they're adding RNG elements to things you're paying real-life money for. If you don't want it, you don't have to try for it, but they put all of their effort into making it something a player really wants by making it the most appealing (Animations, sound effects) while making it exclusive to 2015 in specific. This is the equivalent of online gambling which shouldn't be supported by any player with common sense; especially in some T-rated game. Expect this kind of practice to become the norm with holiday events, and maybe even become a normal "Tess" thing because of how much money it's making them right now.
EDIT 2: For those wondering, I do have the Skull Mask. Got it from my second Treasure of the Lost bag while buying masks to get Paper Glue to keep them. Not everyone is going to get them like that, though. Some will pay nothing, some will pay $40+.

Sorry to announce that I'll be spending money to try and get this, but when your name is TheJelleton and your character has been a blue skeleton for 2 years, you kinda see something perfect for you.

1 Replyif it could drop from the candy bag rewards, it'd be fine, but since it's cash based rng, its bs.

Should be guaranteed drop for the 6 pack...

I have 2.

I don't see the Problem. In fact I think I'm gonna open up a store where customers give me money and I give them whatever I find on the shelf. Good idea? Great idea.

I spent £20 brought two emotes thriller and the scarying one and spent the rest on packages and I didn't get my skull helmet why do they do this your spending money for the mask then why isn't it guaranteed that you will get it it's a scam random number generator that just for the money they get its completely infuriated me because I'm a year one player and they better do something on Halloween to get the skull mask or I want my money back.

1 ReplyI got it for free its a silly skull always laughing

You say poorly implemented but tell Bungie it's an amazing cash grab. That's the point of it and so it wasn't actually poorly implemented. Bungie knows what's up. I'm all good for whatever mask I get or don't get by the time this is over. Ill let others spend their money the way they want. Im just having fun without making holes in my pocket.

Is BUTTHURT here yet?

8 RepliesLol I didn't pay a dime and I got it first try

You're not paying to get the skull, you're paying to get a Legendary mask. The Skull is the complementary item. Just because you want something doesn't mean you're being forced into trying to get it.
