Silver doesn't hurt the game. It causes a lot of angst among people who don't understand economics or who have a lot of time and no money, but there's nothing about silver that hurts the game. Especially the way Bungie has implemented it. There's literally no negative impact, since everything available to buy is either purely cosmetic or, if you argue the 3 light armor isn't cosmetic, available via rewards in game. So grow up, get a job, and learn the difference between feelings and facts.

So grow up, get a job, and learn the difference between feelings and facts.[/quote] Firstly, I have a job and more than enough money to buy silver, if I wanted to. I think you've completely missed the point and/or you're too stupid to understand why it hurts the potential of the game. I know for a fact that Bungie takes advantage of the things we've wanted, making it harder to earn. Never once will there be an event where we can actually freely customise the way we want to be without bending over for bungie. Sparrow racing could've been so much more, but they decided to spend extra time, resources, money developing worthless emotes and sparrow options when sparrow racing could've had more maps and innovation. It's something players wanted for a long time and they completely took advantage of it, what could've been so much more turned into a thirst for cash, and this is what hurts the game, when there could've been more the game is being hurt. When there could've been more crucible maps, more patrol areas, new strikes in new areas, new raids and more they decided to put the time and money on these free events which don't offer much but useless cosmetics unless you cough up cash. They now spend more time making worthless free updates which sadly are limited time only and only really provide re skins, and other crap when they could've been adding new expansions, proper crucible balance, better in depth customisation but no, when they see they can make a large amount of revenue from silly reskinned events and worthless cosmetics what some players value as full priced games they're influence to do more of this when they could be doing more, and giving this game the potential it had. Maybe after all that you're still too stupid and still Bungies bitch to understand.

You obviously have no grasp of how businesses work, as I said. Nor do you have any information about internal assignments or priorities within Bungie. You--quite literally--have no idea what you're talking about. You want free stuff? Childish and unrealistic.

Pretty sure a majority of people do its nearly common sense. Bungie want to create as much revenue as possible while using minimal time, money and resources to increase their profit. Now, obviously I don't have any information about their eternal assignments and priorities but unless you're blind, stupid or just a Bungie fan boy (you) then you're probably going to notice the recent trend in destiny. It started ever since they announced the TTK collectors edition preorder bonus. (This was class items, emotes and whatever) but when Bungie say ther uproar in the community about such pity items, they say this as an [b]opportunity[/b] to earn more revenue for less input. This should be obvious. If you know anything about business studies (I hope you do) it should be obvious that any business will use that opportunity to generate an easy amount of profits in the end. And for free stuff? No, maybe you should inspect me. Barely play this game, but that's not the point. This isn't about me, it's about Bungie Edit: Luke smith said it himself. (If I showed you the emotes, you'd throw money at the screen) clearly Bungie DO know that they're fans are willing to spend money on pit items. If they didn't give a shit about this Luke smith wouldn't have of said anything.

So...everything you've said proves my point. If you see Bungie as a business, everything they've done makes sense (and aligns with where the industry is going), and it would be stupid to whine about not getting free stuff. Hell, they're being more careful than most to avoid having silver affect gameplay. There was a time when games didn't add content at all; you bought the game, and it was what it was until you stopped playing. That's where your proposed business model leads back to. As an aside, you can't simultaneously say you understand business and assert it's all common sense anyway.

Maybe you are truly in denial. And yes, for business studies I already said is should be common so thanks for proving my point I guess. Are you still to stupid to understand? Probably.

You're making even less sense than you were before. It's okay not to like or participate in microtransactions. It's stupid to try to argue that it's somehow ruining gaming in any objective sense. When you grow up, you'll realize that not liking something doesn't mean it's evil or wrong. Taste is not fact. Your values are not fact. Get over it.

Your values are not fact. Get over it.[/quote] I am probably making less sense, it's often hard to communicate with the retards. Spending money on worthless emotes that they wont care about in one year is their choice, i get that and it not evil to do so but at the same time bungie could be spending more time, money and resources improving this game much more and unleashing is true potential but know that they've taken the opportunity to make more money they've basically said -blam!- you. Yes, people will value content differently, you know the stupid are usually easily entertained. Emotes, reskinned sprarrows, worthless mask, limited time events, reskinned ghost poe, reskinned HoW armour and reskinned spektar gear must be great value. Bungie can easily produce these items and mak a healthy profit because of the limited resources used to create them. But they could've done so much more with the game, the little items that people are going to forget about are hurting the game. Who still uses those Taken King Collectors edition preorder exclusice emotes, shaders and even class items. Almost no one, i never see people using them, on the forums, in the tower, different raid groups, streams, crucible what ever. But one thing people don't dismiss is private matches, people still talk about these things, they want them. Vault of glass and crota's end ,people have been asking for a while, people have been asking for more planets, new strikes, in depth patrol all this shit SO MUCH MORE but NOPE. Now it's just worthless limited timed items that people will forget about. This game could be more, but it wont because time is wasted making pity items. Thats how silver is hurting the potential of this game. It doesn't matter how many times i explain it to you, you're still still ignorant to understand. It's rather embarrassing we're both gamers. Or maybe you aren't stupid, you'd just happily defend these business's get exactly what they want, happily be their bitch. Does't matter, get blocked. I'm done with you, you're pathetic, too dumb to understand, too blind to know, too ignorant, you're a silver sheep. Enjoy the mute.

So, again, it boils down to another child throwing a fit because the game isn't tailored to their personal wish list. Nice. Doesn't make it a bad game, doesn't mean microtransactions have doomed the industry, and doesn't mean Bungie is being lazy or manipulative. It just means you didn't get what you want. Get over it. Play something else if you don't like it. Grow up n

You say I'm throwing a tantrum because i don't get what i want even through I JUST SAID I BARELY PLAY THE GAME, I simply don't give a single shit about these worthless ever verse items that promote under aged gambling that gets idiots like you addicted. Micro transactions don't make a game bad, i never said that, but it ruins the potential of the game seriously how the -blam!- haven't you figured this out? Developers don't have an infinite amount of time to make shit they have to manage their time and if time is spent making worthless eveverse items instead of actualy content not items people will forget about in a month. But I guess you're just too stupid to understand, i'm starting to feel sorry for you You're just too ignorant to understand. [spoiler]only idiots open spoilers[/spoiler]
