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.)

    Right 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!
