Rant regarding "MynameisByf"s video covering Festival of the Lost Microtransactions

Byfs video really upset me so I ranted in the comments Watch the video first if want to understand what I was upset about Feel free to discuss or even argue with me im open to discussion . . THESE ITEMS ARE PURELY COSMETIC. AND PUUUUUUURELY OPTIONAL. Buying sterling treasure in hope of tier 12 armor is very much impossible for those who dont want to drop a few hundred dollars on a video game for loot that they can get for FREE. Even the richest and most HARDCORE destiny players arent abusing these microtransactions, just look at Kruzer or JKHovey, they arent wearing this badass tier 12 armor that they got from microtransactions. The issue that you "Byf" are facing is that you are a hardcore destiny player, you play every tiny bit of new content as soon as it is released, unlike an average casual destiny player who can make this content last a while. What people see as the "problem" with Rep boosters is that people are getting reward packages quicker and theres nothing wrong with that, this game is still RNG based so rep boosters are NO GUARANTEE FOR GOD ROLL WEAPONS. And god roll weapons dont make you good at destiny. BUNGIE HAS NEVER DEMANDED MONEY FOR LOOT, ITEMS OR CONTENT THAT PLAYERS CAN GET FOR FREE. THERE IS NO PAYWALL, BUNGIE DOES NOT "DDOS" YOUR COPY OF DESTINY FOR NOT GIVING THEM MORE MONEY. These are OPTIONAL AND COSMETIC MICROTRANSACTIONS

  • Personally, I agree with him. We were lead to believe that our microtransaction purchases would go towards helping the live team create new and also improved events like Festival of the Lost. And what do we get for that? An opportunity to buy more microtransactions. The fact that you can spend hundreds of pounds (or whatever currency you use) on RNG boxes and not get the item you want is ridiculous. I would have much less problem if we were able to select the item we want and buy it alone, rather than gamble for it. The event itself is lacklustre and seems to only exist to get us to spend more money. I know it's only cosmetic, but the real shame to me is the wasted potential of a fun event where we would actually get to [i]do[/i] new things instead of [i]buy[/i] new things. That's my take on it anyway.
