Destiny Silver is overpriced? Wouldn't the store be more successful if the price was reasonable?
I have never bought any silver in D1 or D2, but I look occasionally at what's for sale in eververse, and sometimes I click the "buy silver" button to see what it costs. $5 for two random roll engrams! Seriously? $20 for one armor set?
I probably would have spent $50 over the last five years if the prices weren't just silly. At this point, they haven't made a penny.

3 RepliesIt's designed so that you end up having silver left over from your initial purchase but not enough to buy anything you want, so the next time you want something you buy just a little bit more, except you can't buy in the increments you want so you end up with leftovers once again, continuing the cycle

7 RepliesLol don't forget those 1200 silver packages. You can't buy 1200, only 1100 or something like 3000 which costs over $30AUD I'm pretty sure. Bungie know what they're doing and it's disgusting. The fact people defend this just cause they're now self publishing is stupid and pathetic. If Bungie are that desperate, they wouldn't have parted with Activision would they? They're prepared, this is all an excuse for them to treat the game as a free to play game without it being free to play. We all still buy everything as full price.

2 RepliesEdited by SonGoku-san1: 6/13/2019 3:53:23 AMYou think they're overprice? Buddy, have you ever played Path of Exile? A whoopin' 40 to 60 bucks for a single armor. Oh you want a cape to go with the armor? Another 30 to 60 bucks. It's overkill, lol. I bought 50 bucks off of one of the Supporter Pack that came with the 550 points (which is equal to $55) and bought just one armor and it consumed almost entire points.

Whether we wanted it or not, we've stepped into a war with Bungie about Eververse. So let's get to taking out their command, one by one. Luke Smith. From what I can gather, he commands the Greed Dancers from an Imperial Drunk Tank just outside of Seattle. He's well protected, but with the right team, we can punch through those defenses, take this beast out, and break their grip on Video Gaming.

8 RepliesDESTINY is overpriced. Old players have been leaving by the hundreds of thousands. Activision even beat Bungie over the head with this a month or so before they split and Bungie just kept patting themselves on the back singing "everything is awesome." And now they expect $35 for Shadowkeep. At that point keeping pace with Destiny since day 1 (and NOT counting the cost of updating/upgrading hardware just to be able to keep playing) will have cost a minimum of $405. Averages out to about $80 a year, or 1 and 1/3 the cost of a full game culminating in a cost of 6 and 2/3 full games. For just two games. Neither of which feel in any way even remotely "complete." And they'll have their hands out demanding more money by the end of the year. And do you know why they keep doing it? Because people are stupid enough to keep paying that price. I managed to score Forsaken for about $15 by taking advantage of a handful of Black Friday deals that happened to overlap at the right time. That was the last thing I bought for Destiny 2. And short of a major overhaul top to bottom not only of the game itself but the very nature of how Bungie approaches it, that's going to be the last cent of my money Bungie will ever see.

4 RepliesUnpopular opinion but my problem with Eververse is that in a first person game I don't care what I look like. I get gear with perks I like and I'm happy at most I'll put shaders on. None of the Eververse armour sets look appealing to me there's always something off about them plus the random and pointless perks just ruin it. If Eververse sold God-rolled or masterwork gear I'd be all over it, hell throw in raid exotics after the raid has been out for a few months. I'm not spending a penny on emotes or sparrows, I'd 100% buy weapons.

2 RepliesI would buy materials and cores if they sold them for silver.

4 RepliesBetter than fortnite’s prices. Freakin $20 bucks a skin and most look like they were found in a dumpster.

1 ReplyEvery product Bungo sells, especially DLC, and microtransactions, are overpriced, though. It often cracks me up that something like Curse of Osiris costs $20, and lasts a few hours, then your average Borderlands expansion always costs $10 and lasts dozens upon dozens of hours. Another good comparison is an emote costing $11, versus a Borderlands 2 cosmetic costing $1. Better still, Gearbox just released DLC with a new campaign, level cap, raid boss, new areas/bosses, and weapon rarity... for free.

Edited by mercuryserver: 6/11/2019 11:25:44 AMOh well. I got 1.000 Silver once for buying something. Maybe Forsaken plus addons or something,I can't remember. But these 1.000 Silver still sit in my account. I did not spend them although I got the Silver "for free". So what do you think is my incentive to buy even more? I hate these stupid virtual currencies where you can only buy stuff with a set amount of currency and it's designed in a way that you will ALWAYS have something left or "just a little" is missing. This is Year 1 in Economics at University lol. But for me, this is just detterrent. And I agree to the OP, prices are ridiculous. Bungie, if you need more money, code more content together, sell it and I buy it and play it. Game has by far not enough content anyways. But you will not get my money because I am supposed to buy a shiny new emote or a silly ornament. I also don't like the Changes of this season. I had a lot of levelups but I have yet to see a FREE exotic gesture or an exotic ship where I can get 500 dust back if I don't like it or have it already. I started with about 13.000 dust and brought it down to 400 in under a minute lol. Since this, I did not recover as I used to because in my experience, there is now a serious cut of dust in place compared to the Seasons before. Hello @ Bungie: this is no free to play Game. I got D2 for free last Year thanks to PS+ but I paid for Forsaken and I also paid for both DLCs (Warmind and Curse of Osiris) and I also paid for the season pass so I find these F2P mechanics rather irritating. And the Game wasn't like that when it started.

The biggest issue I see with the silver is that one exotic ornament costs 600 silver... go to the psn store and the smallest amount you can buy is 500 silver. So yeah they are automatically making influenced consumers take the more expensive option... scumbaggery of the highest order.

30 RepliesEdited by TheShadow-cali: 6/10/2019 1:52:07 AMDon't you get it? Bungie needs the support to create this game you know because... Paying for the base game The first 3 expansions An Annual Pass Rockstar Doritos Boost packs Their online store All of that isn't enough support. Bungie is even hurting that, that new $100 million contract doesn't support them either. They are hurting that bad for a full priced game and then some.

7 RepliesBungie is a small, independent, indie game studio. They don't have a lot of money.

6 RepliesI miss the old days when we believed bungie when they said it would fund content.

4 RepliesFFS. This again? Don’t want to buy it? Don’t! I don’t. What does it matter?

2 RepliesBlame Obama for the high prices Legislation could have put laws in place for micro transaction but Obama was busy talking about Obama care and turning a blind eye about Russia meddling which liberals now blame trump on.

100% agreed. I look at the Eververse store, and microtransactions in general, as "impulse buys". Not sure how it is in other countries but in the good ol' USA we've got a bunch of impulse buy items right there by the check out at the groceries stores, etc. Candy, chap stick, beef jerky, trashy magazines, etc. Stuff you'll look at and go "Ooh! That sounds good!" and you grab it and toss it in along with the stuff you came to buy. Well, right now Bungie apparently thinks I want to spend $10.00 on a Snickers bar. I would be [i]way[/i] more inclined to occasionally buy in on some Eververse stuff if it was priced realistically. A cool Sparrow for $4.00? Sure. Some cool armor for $3.00? Sure. An emote or a projection for $1.00? ... probably not because I think both of those are patently worthless, but I bet others would. Fact remains that Eververse is grossly overpriced. I should really be thanking Bungie because it makes my decision to not buy Silver extremely easy.

Edited by nonchalantone: 6/10/2019 8:18:00 PMPurposely placing things in Eververse over a $5 or $10 limit, just to make you buy more silver than you need. For example, making something $6 so you have to buy at least $10 worth of silver. Instead of just a $5 purchase. Dirty tactics right there. Why have an emote for $8? Resident Evil has it where you can buy the "unlock" for all infinite weapons for $3.99. Hellen Keller could have seen this is highway robbery. Not buying shit that will be obsolete the minute I hit "purchase".
-
Honestly, just get rid of silver, make everything direct purchase, and lower the prices a bit.
-
Can't buy 1200 silver for a 1200 item. Pricing logic in a nutshell.
-
I'd prefer getting rid of in game Eververse silver currency and allow us gamers to pay with real money through PSN store, etc. Not liking the whole Eververse item pricing either with leftover Silver entrapment. Spend $10 on silver to buy $8 worth of Eververse items leaving silver leftover not able to buy anything else without purchasing more silver. Terrible pricing concept set up to cheat consumers.
-
Because individual items are priced so high I buy nothing, if they were cheap enough I'd buy a lot more. Remember bungie, that 100% of nothing is nothing

Edited by Pilcrow: 6/11/2019 1:00:17 PMOnce fortnite was getting $20 a skin, the game industry thought this could work as the norm. It's terribly overpriced for a skin. In fortnite, I did buy a skin or 2. The only reason being, I wanted to support the developer at the time I was enjoying the game. In hopes it would grow. Which it grew 1000000x over. Bungie should be doing skins at like $2-$3 an armor set and the perks better be a 5x5x5 build or at least 4x4x4 so you could have a 5x6x5 build. Stats on this armor is dogshit and it's mostly a poor version of a reskin. The warlock skin is trials skin, but poor version.

Im not spending any money until cores are removed from infusion

6 Replies$20 for an armor set is indeed overkill. I remember when i played the old republic, armor sets were like $5-$10 and items in the store would go on sale as well. That said, if you think the prices are too high, simply don't buy and "vote with your wallet" so to speak.
-
or maybe if a -blam!-ing emote didnt cost 11$. i spent over 50/yr in dota 2 because that stuff cost 99c each. i've spent 0/yr in destiny because its all stupid priced.
