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.

Haha, in pvp when kids tea bag and say "no no, no." I'm just like you're the sad one who pays for 1 second emote in a video game. :')
-
I still have my 400 free silver
-
Get pissed when I buy a gun from eververse that will one shot anything in the game not over some mask
-
I've probably spent over 200 dollars on silver. This is the only game I play. Since I don't spend 60+ every other month on games, I feel like I should be able to collect the things I want. With 50 bucks I got everything but the ornaments.
-
Besides paying for the Carlton along time ago, that's it.
-
I love seeing these broke salty crybabys make posts that make them feel better about themselves for not being able to buy them a little silver meanwhile deep down inside they are crying like a baby that just lost his passy.
-
I love watching people get mad or have a problem over microtranactions on cosmetic items.
-
I bought like 20 bucks worth and got the Halloween sparrow dance and cool masks So I think it was worth it

[spoiler]I removed the full stop before the brackets; I've never seen brackets get their own sentence. It just looks weird. :][/spoiler]

I never knew spending my own hard earned money on a Video Game for Cosmetic Reasons had such an impact. #MicroTransactionsMatter

It's the people that said "if we make a golfing emote they would throw their money at the screen", AND NO ONE DID SHIT ABOUT IT.
-
Bungie: *Sees this post and bans all those who liked it*
-
Hmm.... I'm not really against them... But I won't buy stuff I can get in game. So far the only thing I bought was a legendary emote so I could do the Night at the Roxbury dance. But if the happen to add the "dab" emote will probably by that too... Cough cough bungie. Cough cough. But in the end developers are never gonna stop doing it because there are people that will shell out their money instead of just playing the game. Do what you want but I won't buy stuff when I don't want to and that's really all you can do nowadays.
-
Why does it bother you that others want to buy these things?
-
I didn't mind spending a bit for that slow clip emote when ever verse came out, it was worth it[spoiler]also it funds stuff like srl you fun hating jackass[/spoiler]
-
Only thing I got is a dance emote I wanted and that's pretty much it
-
900th like here, never paid for the game either. In a way this post just open bungies eye like "hmmmm how do we get those players to buy what they dont want to?" lol -blam!- you bungie
-
I bought that Carlton emote.... couldn't resist lol
-
Look at the idiots defending paying cash on a gamble for worthless trinkets haha
-
I like how you call people stupid for spending the money the way they like it. It's not stupid, it's what they want to do. I've spent plenty of money on here, I work hard and I pay it back because this game is great to chill out after work and kill shit.

I'd rather eat the rotten asshole of a roadkilled skunk and down it with beer. *singing and dancing* [spoiler]Seriously, stop supporting such a crappy gaming company behaviour. Stop supporting microtransactions. Use your brain. Thanks![/spoiler]

Edited by NyDeviiant: 10/29/2016 12:14:26 PMI cracked when i got the wolf mask for free after finishing the festival of the lost quest on one of my characters and brought the howl emote to turn it blue, but before that I never brought silver so I'm liking this post because I sincerely do not like micro transactions. Especially since destiny is a paid game it's not like it's free. EDIT: Oh and I forgot to mention that I already had credit on my account so that was another reason I convinced myself to buy it.
-
I've spent either $15 or $20. Ten was just the other day because I want missing out on Thriller again and the first time was for the Carlton dance when Eververse launched. I've used some leftover Silver for the Trotting dance. I won't use it for rng packages.
-
Paid at least $70 in Silver. If I'm going to play this game, I intend on getting everything. I don't give a damn about anyone else's opinions, the retarded comments fall on blind eyes.
-
It's alright, I've paid enough for the lot of you. You know if the game makes money it gets better, right?
