Please like, if you paid zero silver to this date.
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.)

Everyone have a right to spend their money and we have no right to criticise anyone for it. However i strongly recommend every player who purchased Silver following : With every additional $ you decide to pay for Micro Transactions , you encourage Game Developers to ship unfinished games more and more.

4 RepliesCan't believe people even believe e-motes and the rest of the utter trash is actually worth real money. Buying the base game and DLC has been pricey enough as it is (especially when you consider that ‘The Collection’ can currently be had for 25 quid!!).

Somewhere deep in bungie offices someone is getting a bollocking now, getting told they are not doing their job properly because there is a huge post on the forum full of people who have never bought silver! Back to the think tank useless employee, make these people spend, make them throw money at the screen!

I hadn't spent money until this event, when that green sparrow appeared i had to have it. Other then that not spent a penny.

Bungivi$ion will see the 1200 likes and try harder next time. Lol

1 ReplyFor the record kids, if your parents did pay for your silver you cant sign this.

Edited by kurina: 10/28/2016 11:03:02 AMTbh, I've spent at least $200+ on this game, buying both the Dark Below and the House of Wolves three times already, don't know how but meh. In silver, I've spent over $50 on silver, but I ended up getting the stuff I want in 25+ Treasures of The Lost bags, plus the emotes. I really wish that the bags weren't RNG based, rather them be not bags, but all the stuff in there available to buy with silver. I really feel bad for those who spent $100 on the packages and not getting the stuff they want. [spoiler]at least these micro-transactions aren't pay to win[/spoiler]

2 RepliesStill have 100 silver left from the original 400 silver gift ;-) I don't actually have a problem with buying cosmetic stuff in games (although I prefer to be able to unlock stuff by simply playing), but I'm not supporting a system, where you pay real money for a RNG roll. I'd actually like to have the Ghost Ghost (so adorable), but with that many other drop options, it seems to be very hard to get. I just bought the black sparrow back then, because it was a guaranteed drop. If they would simply offer each item for a set price, I might consider to buy some more stuff, but not under the current circumstances.

My soul has been corrupted :(

4 RepliesHere we see a member of the Destiny community in its natural habitat, joining its pack members in the complaining about silver. Watch as it tries to insult the other members of this community for supporting the development of event like SRL and FoTL, even though they are not gaining any advantage over those who decide to not buy silver. [spoiler]I hate micro transactions but at least the ones in Destiny aren't pay to win[/spoiler]

Already spent £8 on silver for 2 emotes, neve buying silver again
-
4 RepliesI still have the 400 they gave us. I will spend it the day Destiny 2 launches.
-
5 RepliesWake up. MT's have been around for a long time and they aren't going anywhere. Get over it.
-
Forever 400 right here
-
5 RepliesI spend lots of silver on emotes. Some of them are hilarious. Outside of aesthetics, what is there really to buy with silver?
-
-
I swear, any company that signs up with Activision ends up having micro transactions.

3 RepliesBad beer analogy. It's more like you buy the beer you want, then have the OPTION to buy the printed glass and coaster etc

Edited by Bieltan: 10/28/2016 9:55:29 AMI spent that free Silver, but I havent actually bought any. Now, paint jobs on Elite... 😳

Edited by SPRAY_N_SLAY-_-: 10/28/2016 5:23:53 AMI don't think there's anything wrong with buying silver for emotes and stuff like that. I think there's a problem when there's pay-to-get things (exotic ornaments, TotL) and RNG. There's a chance that if you spend ridiculous amounts of money you'll never get what you want. Though I'm glad it's all cosmetic. The moment it's not cosmetic is the moment they cross the line for me.

I have and am happy that I did

Sup sup. Proudly poor.

1 ReplyI feel a majority of people in this thread are lying lmao.

I have two accounts and I'm not sure which one will get the silver so I don't buy anything ^^ And don't want to know how to do it, so I'm stuck like that and I like it

9 RepliesHere you go pookie. You wont be able to get a snack after school, but you can get you some of those emotes you wanted for Christmas.
