Everyone who reads TWAB's already knew EVERYTHING in eververse this season would be buyable with dust. And what they said about the emote was that if you bought if before that date with silver you'd get a discount on the lore book.

“Starting with Shadowkeep, players will earn Bright Dust through a variety of activities, like Gambit, Crucible, and Vanguard bounties. Players can still use the currency to buy from Tess’ rotating Eververse selection each week. If players want to buy something directly from the store without waiting for the rotation, they’ll still need to buy and spend Silver (Destiny’s real money premium currency) to do it.” Source: https://www.polygon.com/2019/6/19/18691960/destiny-2-shadowkeep-eververse-store-silver-bright-dust-ornament-bungie 🤷🏻‍♀️

Don’t see the problem. The people who want the emote right away can spend the money while the rest of them can wait and grab it for bright dust. This is the third time they’ve sold emotes for money first and then sold for bright dust the following week. This should be done with every single thing in the store. I have over 50k of bright dusk and haven’t spent a single dollar on this game (micro transactions ) since 2014.

The thing about buying the Consult the Archives emote with Silver was that it also gave you something like a 20% discount on the Grimoire book that Bungie has for sale. The people who obtained the emote with Bright Dust, myself included, do not get the discount. That's the difference right there.

No you are not complaining and I get your point. What you bought is a depreciating asset. When something is new it is sold at the highest price the market will pay. Time value will eat away at the asset. It is the way life works really. Do you want that new 2020 car with zero miles? Do you want that new house in a high class area? If you do...you pay for it now and you will pay top dollar. Otherwise, you test the market. I will guarantee that most of the Eververse items will be able to be bought with bright dust at some point...and 100% of the time I and right at least 50% of the time.

Personally I think this is how it should be for any microtransaction in any game. You can either earn it through playing or buy it for a quicker option. Although if bungie is planning on allowing these emotes and other items to be sold for bright dust instead of silver I think they should add something in game that shows if an item being sold for silver can eventually be sold for bright dust.
