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.)

    • If people want to spend money, let them. I haven't bought silver to date. I would probably buy silver if the drops werent such a lottery - for example, if they made it so you couldnt get duplicates I would 'buy' into it more.

    • Haven't bought any, still got my starter 200, probably won't ever spend it as anything I'd be interested in will be much more expensive. In general I don't mind permanent purchases or *some* cosmetic items as specific purchases. Like I've played some online games where I've purchased interesting weapon skins or character slots because they are permanently unlocked on my account. But I won't gamble with RNG. I made that mistake once, ended up spending way more than the damn item was ever worth. Never again. Ever.

    • I haven't spent anything. I just wish I kept the 200 silver I got at the start. Could've used it on something useful.

    • Bungie is just getting greedy now.....fix your broken pvp, give people actual content before you try milking people's money through gambling......it's pretty sad what this company has done and honestly this makes me want to stop supporting this game anymore. [spoiler]side note, I came to this thread to find sensible destiny players. It's a pity half the people here are stupid tools[/spoiler]

    • Grown adults gambling their cash on digital items that will disapear soon when they switch the servers off, i despair at these unintelligent casuals because they're killing gaming as we know it. They should stick to f2p mobile games.

    • I haven't/won't buy silver, but I could care less if other people do. I don't mind that it's an option. I don't feel like I'm lacking a critical component of this game because I don't have what more silver could afford me. If it was an amazing weapon then that would be a different story.

        • I've spent $20 on silver and I've played 1100+ hours. For the amount of fun I've had playing this game I'll consider that 20 a tip. I've tipped $20 at a restaurant many times to be there for an hour or two. I'm not saying I necessarily agree with the micro transactions I think they can be less pricey for a chance at something, but I don't feel all that bad considering how much time I've played.

            • I spent $50. Wanted emotes and cosmetic shells. Totally worth it. Don't mind if you spend or do not spend. It's up to you. Devil horn shell I'm loving. My 4 year old likes to watch me play at times. So when the event came out. I bought him a plush ghost and we put horns and a tail on it for Halloween. So FU that right there is worth 100,000 grand to me! I even bought him a nerf thorn replica he runs around the house shooting his little brother with.

              • Micro transactions belong in free to play games and thats where they should stay. Im astounded at the stupidity of most of the replies here. You've already paid enough to get this crap. Saying 'its my money and i can do what i like!' And 'your poor,get a job' is absolutely pathetic and just an excuse for being dumb. Carry on buying into this and we will all continue to suffer half finished games.....well done

                  I pay for content that involves game activities. Gladly. Purchased 0 silver to date. Imagine if all of that effort into useless digital makeup went into actual game improvements or more activities. Imagine if the vast majority of the community was smart enough to consider that.

                  • AAA games should actually cost a lot more than $60. Have you noticed the price has never gone up on them? However, the cost of production of these games has skyrocketed with all the new tech. They have to either make all their money up front: charging $90+ for the game; or by micro transactions or other forms of merch. Its a business, take an economics class or something, educate yourself.
