Never buying silver or any other ingame 'currency'.
People who buy that shit are creating an environment for greedy asshats who want us to throw money at the screen.
[i]Clarification[/i]: I don't mind adults spending their money on things. If Bungie sells something for a fixed price and people are stupid enough to shell out money, so be it. I still find that questionable, because this one thing is awfully expensive compared to the cost of a whole game.
What I find criminal is to hide the real cost of things behind a RNG system that makes you accept a much higher cost because you don't get told the probability of items. Bungie just tells us which items we get by chance without any method to evaluate the potential price tag! That's not a fair buissines tactic.
IGN needed around 100$ to get all items from the FotL packages. That's the price of the whole vanilla game plus HoW and CE. Do you think that's an incentive for Bungie to bring us more planets, cutscenes and missions, or will they make more superfluous 'events' to sell you even more of that wonderbag stuff?
Would you buy any good in a shop where you have to pay first and then roll on a secret loot table? You want some german beer and get 5x root beer and some bread instead? Would you pay until you got your real beer?
Thanks for the intense discussion. Never tought this would go that far.
Edit: Corrected a spelling error. (I am german. Hints on how to write something correctly are appreciated.)

Hahahaha, they are a company, a business and the purpose of a business is to make money. Have you opened a business before?

Should have made a poll, I bought some when I started just because I bought TTK during a sale and I wanted a couple of emotes. It wasn't a smooth transaction, the silver wasn't available immediately. I did get it but I think about the wait whenever I consider buying more and I just don't buy.

Disliked as I have paid money for Silver.

I have spent a few bucks here and there. Mostly for a few emotes I liked. Plan to buy some more when I get paid, would like to get a few chances at the ghost ghost. No more than 3 though. I don't mind spending a few extra bucks because I have the money, but I am smart enough to not blow 50 bucks on one thing lime that.
