Something Bungie might not have considered is that people can abuse this silver micro transaction by saying they will help for silver or if you want to do the raid you gotta pay silver. This happens in games like warframe all the time. Little kids get trolled by a-holes who say yeah gift me x-amount of (plat/silver) and I'll help you do this. Only to be ripped off. With elitists all ready making crazy demands for raid parties I can promise you there will be posts about paying to join teams as soon as this update hits. Even if its just "comsetics" for now, by adding real world currency you are adding a trafficing element to the game...watch Edit: Im aware there isnt a "trading system in destiny, however adding a real world currency into the game creates a market where people can ask for market place codes to buy the silver etc. This happens in other games. And yes I'm aware people could do that now with cash or paypal but just having a real world currency in the game will likely make it more prevalent. Im simply starting a disscussion about it. You can agree or dissagree. I'm just bringing it up Edit: im glad so many people are talking about this (even the name callers lol) at least the discussion is happening. Maybe I'm wrong about this, hopefully I am.
