It’s gotten worst since the activision split. Do you all remember in seasons 1-6 when we were able to earn everything via bright engrams; in game engrams you got for leveling up that contained every eververse cosmetic item for their respectable season? Now the only chance you have to get everything is by hoarding all of your bright dust and waiting for reset each week. Do you all also notice how nearly every new item is exotic? Meanwhile in previous season there would much legendary bullshit filling up the loot pool. Also unless you have close to 100k bright dust, you won’t have enough to get every single new item she sells from now until D3, at max you can only get about 3-4 thousand a week. Assuming she sells something you don’t have every week usually the cost is way more than that. And the only possible way you would have bright dust saved is if you literally didn’t spend any from previous seasons, and chances are if you do have that much you don’t even care about the cosmetics anyways. All of this stacked on top of the fact that we have no way of knowing which items are silver exclusive and which items will be available via bright dust. You can spend money on silver on an item only for it to be sold the next weekly reset, or you can hold off on buying silver on a particular item that’s on a rotation only for you it to never show up again, so that item is gone forever ( The void shell from last season is the prime example of this). So because you don’t know, once you see an item you want you may be more inclined to spend money on silver if you see it’s worth it. All Bungie has to do was leave the in game engram in with all of the new cosmetic items, you fill the xp bar ( the same xp bar for season rank) you get an engram, this is how it’s been from every season up until last season, season of opulence. But now the option to get it all in game without spending any money no longer is possible. It’s a shame really.
