Bungie got micro transactions perfect for the April update, granted I'd rather not have them at all but how they handled them was great. You could get 3 boxes a week. I manged to get full taken and spectacular gear plus both ships and sparrow in just a month and a half using free boxes. Fast forward to now, we get one box a week. Containing one ornament and one silver dust, that's fine and dandy. It'll just take some time to get the ornaments I want. Silver dust doesn't just stop there though, your iron lord, trials and raid armor both require silver dust to apply ornaments. 25 to be exact. So yeah, if you don't dismantle your ornament you receive you'll be waiting 25 weeks to unlock the best looking armor in the game, for one character, for one set. Across all 3 characters there are 9 sets, each requiring 25 silver dust. That's 225 weeks. Or like 4 and a half years. Even if you dismantled ever ornament you got and put it towards your armor it would take around 10 months to do all the ornaments on all characters. And you would have 0 weapon ornaments. Well it's just cosmetic right? Sure, have fun walking around in rags while people are walking around looking like badass flaming wolf's. I also forgot to mention that you need 6 iron lord ornaments in addition to the 25 dust. Currently the only known way to get them is to pray to rng that the one box you get a week has one in it. Which is unlikely considering it's not a guaranteed item. They seriously went to far this time. Rant over. [b]Edit: Also for anyone saying how I'm entitled and want hand outs. I think it's kind of funny how much Bungie hyped up weapon and armor ornaments before release. Yet they decided not to mention how strongly ornaments would be tied to micro transactions. Also I'm not bashing micro - transactions, I'm bashing how they were implemented. Edit: Everyone is saying it's just cosmetic. Sure, now it's just cosmetic, just wait and see where it goes next. Something people don't seem to relize is that the packages the sold after the April update contained gear with randomized rolls. Meaning you could buy boxes until you got the perfect perks on your gear. FYI, that's not just cosmetic. That's giving actually a fairly significant advantage. Not to mention the rep boosters they are selling now. More rep = more gear = faster level up/ higher chance to get better weapons/ armor.[/b]
