I rarely post here but I see all the hate for Eververse and I see some news outlets have picked up that the "community" hates these micro transactions. I fail to understand the hate and was wondering if anyone could actually explain it. I feel I am missing something. Eververse is almost exclusively a cosmetic add on. This does nothing for you to win in the game, provides no advantages, it changes the look/color of your armor/weapon. So it can give you a ghost, that has no advantage in the game to help you win except to find resources slightly easier and perhaps some more XP to get a bright engram. So that brings us to the one thing it can give you, a piece of armor for purchasing at the store. So you get this armor by not playing the game and buying it. You put on that armor and you go out into the world and one thing will happen... You will die instantly. You have no perks, it is a 10 armor. It gives you no advantage because you purchased this instead of finding it, in fact, it is worse then what you can find. In order to make it worthwhile you have to go out into the world and farm items to infuse into the armor to make it more powerful. Well that stuff you are infusing you could of just wore anyway and you found it the legit way, by playing the game. Instead of wearing it, you use it to infuse. Either way, you had to play the game to get the Eververse to the same level as what you just found anyway. So where is the pay to win I hear people complaining? Its not possible to win with anything purchased from Eververse, you only would loose repeatedly. So I hear people complaining things are "locked" behind Eververse. What is locked, a new cosmetic? That is what is infuriating everyone? Then don't buy any, and get the bright engrams for leveling up, I get a few a week, its not hard. So someone wants to buy it and get a new shader, you play, get an engram to get a shader. Really, that generates all the hate? Now I do see you can get a 160 speed sparrow from Eververse. Sure if the racing league comes back, that could rightfully be a point of contention (unless they make it the same speed for all Sparrow, ala the Cruicible regardless of your power level). Until then, if it does and in what incarnation, there is no advantage there. I've read the posts and I really don't understand the hate or frustration. If anyone is willing to shed some light on what I am missing I would appreciate it, the rest I am sure are going to go bonkers complaining, and you have that right on a public forum, I'm just trying to better understand the situation.
