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.)

21 RepliesI buy silver, I buy it with my money budgeted for entertainment. Some buy hookers, some buy drugs, alcohol, I buy silver.

I'll bump but I purchased 2k worth (came with 300 bonus). Wish I could buy some nice weapons now, like elemental primaries...

I spent the free silver we all got at the beginning, but no more

9 RepliesI find it ironic when people use the word "greedy" while talking about how they refuse to spend money...doesn't that make you greedy as well?
-
I'd happily buy the odd thing here or there.....but for some mental reason someone decided to make the loot random? I'd never spend money on RNG loot.

Remove that cash grabbing trash, we've already paid for the game, the gaming industry is crooked and greedy !!

You all with the wolf mask look like a bunch of Robb Starks!

3 RepliesEdited by Dinkus McGee: 10/28/2016 5:39:21 PMOh, cripes. Enough with your elitist nonsense. This is a game, produced by people for money. It's not a charity. If they can make extra $$ with this simple system that in no way affects those that don't want to participate, GREAT. I will absolutely spend my earned money on whatever I damn well feel like, at that includes cosmetic video game baubles. You and people like you that seem to think it's some great conspiracy to forever alter the game world.. well, then don't. Spare us your snooty attitudes and just not buy. This is a luxury item. It is not a necessity for anyone, anywhere, at anytime. Jesus.

Edited by FrenetiCreature: 10/28/2016 6:21:52 PMRight here! I've never bought silver, or any micro-transaction in any game, even if the game was a free game. I may be a cheap-@ss, but I will only pay what is absolutely necessary to play the game, if I want to play it bad enough. I have over 60 games downloaded on my Xbox 1. I've only ever paid for 5 games. I bought Destiny, Titanfall, and Final Fantasy Type 0 for myself. I bought Minecraft and Resident Evil Revelations 2 for my son. All of the other games were free downloads for having Xbox Gold, and there have been some really decent games. We haven't even been able to play through them all. My motto: If it's free, it's for me!

Edited by Safari Farnsy: 10/28/2016 6:20:40 PMSo whats the Life of Silver purchases - 1 year?? Hey, I'd appreciate BUNGiE confirming the RoadMap for D2? Cause current [b]Media speculation is that when D2 arrives, yr Characters / Loot / progression is going to be deleted?[/b] [i]So which way is the wind blowing Bungie.INC? [/i] (per quote from Forbes article below) [quote]As for characters and loot, the Kotaku report has its sources citing Diablo 2 as an example, where it’s the same series, some of the same classes and the same general concept, but it’s a fresh start with nothing carried over from the original. Players, meanwhile, rightly claim that Bungie has previously said that their characters would be with them through the entirety of their Destiny journey, [/quote] [url]http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2016/09/28/the-case-for-a-clean-slate-in-destiny-2/#41d05ad479f9[/url]

1 ReplyDo not waste your money on silver! I just spent $20 thinking what the hey, RNG can't be that bad. I was wrong. Very, Very wrong. I got nothing new that I already had from last year's FOTL. Silver = Scam. The great silver scam of 2016! #SilverScam

4 RepliesI wanted the Zombie Dance. I had $18 left from my birthday money. So I bought $9.99 worth of silver. Now I got the emote and had spare silver for two Treasures of the Lost. I don't regret it because now my Guardian can dance like Michael Jackson and that makes me happy. Since I'm a typical white man and can't dance to save my life.
-
I haven't bought silver. I don't care if you do or not. In my opinion, buying stuff shows that you appreciate what bungie is doing. I just don't buy anything because I am broke.
