Charging players in LFG thru destiny app
I've noticed that many players are trying to charge people in LFG for certain missions and raids. Mainly because they say they can guarantee the reward or do quick speedrun farms with the group they initiate. Is this allowed in the Bungie TOS? The Bungie app TOS? I personally don't see the problem as long as people are cool with the rejection, as I've heard stories of players being insulted for saying "no they don't want to pay and will look elsewhere" (I've never encountered this issue personally) Also it's the players money, so if they want to pay then it's on them. The problem I'm seeing is the influx of people charging for these missions vs people just wanting to find a group. For example out of 5 tries for zero hour, all 5 were players wanting money, More $ for heroic. 5 out of 5....Then I've also noticed that in groups labeled Raid carry💪, comp carry🥇 (or something along those lines) there is a good chance those are people wanting money also (excluding twitch streamers). Again I don't see an issue with charging people since nobody is forcing anyone to pay anything, but I think there should be an area for people in LFG specifically for that. What are your thoughts?

1 ReplyThe only issue with it really comes from the PvP side. A lot of players will cheat to get you the weapons faster and that ruins the experience for the rest of the players involved -- especially on the opposite team. Outside of that, who really cares? It's mostly just a couple players who put their identity into Destiny and get upset because someone bought what they had to earn. As long as it doesn't destroy other players experiences, it's not really that big of an issue and one Bungie isn't going to pay to fight. Some might argue it ruins the integrity of the game, but in all honestly most players are being carried in this game whether they pay or not so I don't really buy into that idea. Elitism is a big part of what ruined this game to begin with.

1 ReplyThis is what happens when bungie makes the stakes really high. If anything it just makes bungie mad that they r not getting paid. Ppl paying for stuff is for the adults that work 5-6 days a week and have young kids. If u dont have time u prob have money and vice versa

I hate the idea of a government being involved in any portion of a game. Right to Banning loot boxes. I entirely disagree they should even be able to change anything. But there are days where I wish something happened about selling videogame "services". It's like paying someone to do your family monopoly game for you. What's up with that? If you need someone to do the game for you. A. It's out of your league. B. You obviously don't like it much, or you would learn. Hopefully a free market kills this stupid idea eventually.

1 ReplyOfc its not allowed but bungie doesnt really give a -blam!-.. Their useless ninjas are much quicker banning posts that name and shame those lfg posts or cheaters than shutting down actual lfg posts asking for money lol

Bungie has it against the rules but they never enforce it. Hence why the same people are doing it for so long.

Sony allows it with game share.

Cant they just say they are accepting a donation to skirt the rule though. Big difference between saying you charge for X content and asking for a donation to a steam account.

This is not allowed by PSN ToS or Bungie ToS. But I mean... don't cry when you get banned I guess.
