I think we are dancing on the line of pay to win here with bright dust being one of the resources you need for juju catalyst and especially since the bright dust one is the one most people get last and the only reason most people even use the discount system you shouldn’t be able to pay for a ton of bright engrams and then be able to turn the stuff you payed for with real money into stuff that benefits your gameplay greatly like a tribute for a catalyst. In summary you shouldn’t be able to pay with real money to bypass a long term grind, that is on the level of Mobile games.
Edit:most of you are missing the point it isn’t that I can’t get enough bright dust or that the catalyst impacts too much gameplay, it is the principle that you can use premium currency and real money to bypass a long term grind. Some of you defend destiny no matter what and that is just simply bad for the game.

I look at the tribute hall differently. They gave us a way to spend of this stuff - except of course Bayren Boughs - HA!

Nah...drops like candy

I got bad juju day 1 cost roughly 20000 bright dust I spend 0 dollars play the -blam!-in game more. Or instead or rushing take the time get the boons and lower the cost period.

2 RepliesIve dumped about $60 in the tribute hall already. Bright engrams to bright dust and boosting a toon to get 40k game score

10 RepliesEdited by BigMoistPizza: 7/13/2019 11:02:12 PMThe destiny community is the dumbest group of people I have ever seen lmao... OP is saying that the tribute hall could be considered “pay to win” by [b]paying[/b] for bright engrams with [b]real money.[/b] Then, dismantling the stuff from those bright engrams for bright dust. THEN using the bright dust to buy tributes. There. Was that so hard to understand? However, if you’re going to spend all of that money on bright engrams just for the bad juju, you’ve got other issues 😂

The fact that you don't need to buy [i][b]any[/b][/i] of the bright dust triumphs to earn the catalyst defeats your entire post. Once again it boils down to whining about cosmetic statues.

You don’t need the bright dust tributes to get the catalyst though sooo...
-
10 RepliesWhy? Every statue requires what it represents. That is why you get eververse stuff with eververse items. Just be glad it isnt silver.

Most people who play everyday had enough bright dust to buy them all but I was dumb when I didn’t look at the triumphs and see that the discount goes up to 80% so that could have saved me 12k bright dust. Lesson learned.
-
4 RepliesYou can't buy bright dust though. But I see your point... Mixing ever verse stuff and this is shady
-
Especially since other glitches their way through the tributes and it cost them nothing.

16 RepliesEven if bright dust is a premium currency imo it isn’t its for cosmetics not p2w at all

7 RepliesIf you are getting all the other triumphs you only will need like the first bright dust one out of 5 to get the catalyst. Not to mention once we get to an 80% discount it will hardly cost anything for them anyway.

14 RepliesNo gamers like you are hell bent on keeping the old way of playing games around . no what you want is gaming to never evolove at all

11 RepliesHow do you not have a large stockpile of dust? I waste at least 12,000 - 16,000 dust every month pulling sparrows out of collections until the drop with fast summoning and still had 110,000 for the Tribute hall

9 RepliesAs others have pointed out this is [i]nothing[/i] compared to the content and XP boosts you can buy in other games to get ahead faster. Besides, Bad JuJu doesn’t give you any advantage whatsoever over anyone else, unless you’re the kind of person who hates seeing other players get an imaginary thing before you do.

28 Replies[quote]I think we are dancing on the line of pay to win here with bright dust being one of the resources you need for juju catalyst.[/quote] You can get 45 without spending bright dust if you get all the other tributes, so you can keep your bright dust until you have an 80% discount (or however high it needs to be to convince you to spend dust). [quote]you shouldn’t be able to pay for a ton of bright engrams and then be able to turn the stuff you payed for with real money into stuff that benefits your gameplay greatly like a tribute for a catalyst.[/quote] Aren't you exaggerating a bit here? Bad juju catalyst is basically just a rampage spec for the gun, it's hardly something that "benefits your gameplay greatly", especially, as I've mentioned above, since you're capable of getting the bad juju catalyst without having to obtain any of the 5 bright dust tributes. In addition to that, do you know how much money you would need to spend to force yourself past the 10k non-discount bright dust requirement? Making numbers easy, and being optimistic about your drops, you get roughly 100 dust per engram on average, that's 100 engrams, which would cost you 16000 silver to obtain if you were to start from 0 bright dust, which means you would need to spend 135 bucks to get said silver if you were to start from 0 silver. In conclusion: You're making it out to be a bigger issue than it actually is because no one but the most dedicated whales would be willing to go through such a sum of money to get rampage spec on their new exotic pulse and even then, more power to them for supporting bungie with the most absurd way to spend their money.

1 ReplyThere aren’t enough statues that are sold for bright dust that can unlock the catalyst. If you focused on farming the mats for the other statues and doing eververse bounties while you did them, you’d probably have enough by the time you got your discounts down and the rest of your hall was finished. You’re looking for a problem where there isn’t a huge one. As of now bright engrams drop pretty frequently, and there’s a constant weekly source of dust through the bounties. It’s as much a resource as enhancement cores.

a pay to win for one emote? lol that's funny

1 ReplySorry to disagree.. but not even near pay to win. I have over 20.000 bright dust just by playing the game and dismantling stuff I don’t need.

I would agree if real money was the only way to get Bright Dust, but it isn't. There's a completely free way of getting Bright Dust by simply playing the game. I've gotten about 3-4k Bright Dust this season alone without ever having to purchase Silver. This leads me to believe that Destiny 2 is not pay-to-win. I think the only servers that [i] could[/i] be seen as pay-to-win would be the Korean servers because I've heard they can purchase Exotics from Eververse. But I suppose that's how they wanted their game seeing as how they're the only ones in the world who have that option available.

No, this is not close to pay to win. You're making a mountain out of a mole hill. If anything, this is hinting at bungie making some type of change in the next dlc. Either making more things available for bright dust or adding a new currency, so they just want us to get rid of stockpiles.
