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.)

  • I have bought silver, and to be honest, I apologize to the community for doing so. My problem is this. I bought some silver, got some treasure packages and got a bunch of the new stuff. Yay, right? No. I think it is bullshit, and after doing the quests for the ONE treasure you can earn in game, the short but annoying quest for ONE treasure. I got nothing. I mean I got something, but it was in no way a reward worth the time put in to the quest chain. And that got me thinking about the people who don't spend any money. Content obfuscated by a pay wall, one month after a PAID expansion, which, while cool, was a tad over priced for the amount of content that it added to the game. Because there is no matchmaking for end game activities, a lot of players are paying for shit they will never actually see. And I get it, the whole point is to coordinate with friends, do things as a team. I don't disagree with that aspect. I just kind of feel like there needs to be some middle ground. So yeah, I am sorry to all of you for actually supporting this micro transaction system. I really do think it detracts from what players are able to experience just by playing the game they paid for. I won't be buying anymore silver, and I won't be supporting any future updates that require it to have access to the fancy loot.
