Pay to Win - Tess Ornaments

Tess Ornaments improve range, stability, damage, aim assistance, and handling. These slight improvements provide in game advantages including PvP situations. Critics argue these slight improvements were "unintended" however the Recluse ornament provides the weapon with a textured grip. That is the only aesthetic change the ornament provides and the change gives the submachine gun increased handling and stability. Not coincidence or oversight, a selective improvement. Destiny has become Pay to Win. Independence from large publishers has possibly led to this surreptitious micro transaction behavior that Bungie demonstrated during year 1 of Destiny 2. That behavior created a mass exodus of Destiny players. Time gates on Tess engrams, and limited accessibility of bright dust will lead to more impulse buying especially when the Ornaments can give a player an advantage. Although the advantages are fractions of improvements, they are nonetheless Advantages. Destiny will continue to grow as a Pay to Win platform and will once again lose players and revenue over time.

  • Do you have significant evidence for these claims? Because if it was the case... I'm pretty sure it would have been a big thing by now

They have been line stepping in EV since D1, but I don’t think that means it was for sure intentional. What they have learned is that their most irrational fans will defend them if the advantage is not something they personally consider “big enough” although any advantage is an advantage

    • There's no such thing as pay to win in this game ... This isn't marvel strike force where you can whale and get characters like phoenix to 7* immediately with a red 7* upgrade

      • None of the "bonuses" are truly noticeable. And even then, bungie will probably adresse this soon. My theory is that this was some sort of test with the d2 devlopment and the code was never removed.
