Microtransaction are Great for Destiny! [Sarcasm Off]

[b]-I remade the post with sarcastic title to get trending because my post was being buried like usual by Bungie. -Skip to the end(Bold text) if TLDR.[/b] Bungie needs to fix Festival of the Lost. And feels really like Bungie wants Destiny 1 to die a slow death. This micro-transaction bullshit is outrageous. The worst thing I seen you guys do. And you have done some Basic shit in the past. There should be other ways to get the Treasure stuff, not just buying the Treasure boxes. Even in Warframe, you can get mostly everything you want using in-game, not purchasing. Bungie completely ignores other micro-transaction systems, and decided to bar people completely from getting stuff, other than 3 free chances per account. The Treasure bags should drop Legendary masks from last year at least. They went too far, because now people that spend $$$ are getting Ghosts with high stat rolls from treasure boxes. And what some are spending money on are these Ghosts, and they are damn rare and look freaking cute. You literally just went and made it so people with $$$ can buy a bunch of stuff to improve their stat rolls. This is not even the main issue with Festival of the Cost. The problem is lack of new content. The entire event is locked behind the paywall or the cool stuff in it. At least with Crimson doubles, we got the ghost for free. Even my name is BYF is saying it, and he is usually #1 Bungie defender. Literally no content in this update other than something that feels like work. The broom is cool, but you guys need to add more content. Not just reskin shit. Same thing happened last year before Call of Duty came out. You are basically forcing people to stop playing when Activision releases their next game. Are you going to introduce SBBM back so that Crucible sucks too, or some other thing that lowers drop rates on loot to put the Nail in the Coffin that is Destiny? [b] Bottom line Bungie. If you are listening. I know you bury my posts since I spam a lot, and troll. But anyways I still have legitimate opinions. The bottom line is: you should add other ways to get Treasures you want, through grinding or doing Crucible. Why not let masks drop as rewards from Crucible? Yea make it rare, but at least its a fair trade. At this point you cannot fix it, but at least drop Legendary masks for us. This micro-transaction bullshit is outrageous. The worst thing I seen you guys do. And you have done some Basic shit in the past. And the main thing is add more content to the game. All this time you spend designing masks, you can be making new enemies, new weapons, new missions. Masks are great, but if its the only content, it's not good content.[/b] Look at the article from Ign: http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/10/31/destiny-devs-talk-space-travel-pc-and-microtransactions - back from 2013. URK said they wouldn't nickel and dime us. But that's exactly how I feel with this Festival of the Lost Event. Almost the entire event is locked behind RNG Paywall. Why are you doing this Bungie?

    I think TrueVanguard put it best with his critique on microtransactions. So this isn't my words, but I'll paraphrase him: [i]"I think microtransactions are good for the game, if you really care, then you can put in some money. What I don't like is the delivery of them, and that is instead of having a menu style, where you pick and choose what you want, they have implemented a lottery style. I don't like this because it punishes those people who care enough to put more money into the game for microtransactions."[/i] I couldn't agree more with him, microtransactions are fine, people who want something can buy it and if you don't, then you don't have to buy in. But they take it too far as to not even give paying players what they want.
