I Think FOTL was a Disappointing Cash Grab
**Sorry by I couldn't help it:

-this is just a funny pic I made. I spent $10....
*This just confirms what I've written. Thanks for sharing it below.

In advance: I realize no one has to spend money and the cosmetic stuff doesn't help you in game. I have cleared all of Destiny's content and have logged thousands of hours. I'm not crying. I'm stating an opinion. I obviously very much enjoy playing Destiny.
Ok, so that's out of the way... I feel that Festival of the Lost was a way to generate money through more silver purchases for rng cosmetic loot that looks very cool. This is disappointing to me because the way I see it FOTL is [i]supposed[/i] to be something fun for us to do in Destiny. As they stated 'an event.'
But it wasn't really that fun. We get three chances with these treasure of the lost boxes at something we want. Based on my experience having collected all three as well as buying a couple more with some left over silver, the rng on what you actually want is so bad that most players will never get any of that cool stuff that was advertised. I know it's all bs cosmetic stuff. I know it's going to completely obsolete in a month. But that just adds to my complaint.
FOTL (IMO) is just a way to get impulsive players to buy silver and spend money. You can't grind for more treasure boxes. You have to pay for them.
I almost feel embarrassed for this system in a game I've enjoyed for so many hours.
*In conversation with one of you guys/gals it came to me that Division sold outfit packs, but cod sells random rng. Seems like an Activision trend here. I wonder if that's the case and I wonder if Bungie regret their business decision to go with them.

They're designed to be manipulative. They're designed to make you feel like you're missing out on something. They're designed to make you feel jealous when you see other people with cool new gear that's weighted towards paying. That's directly impacting the experience of the person who wants to play the game they paid $100s of dollars for. I don't mind this kind of junk in free to play games, and I don't mind microtransactions in games where the DLC is free. But seeing it in full price, paid games is gross. Do you want to pay $100s for a game, only to feel like you're not getting a full experience? Nope. It's Bungie trying to have it every way they can.
