Here is a post in which I warned of purchasable timed exclusive content
Don't get me wrong the Halloween event is good, but don't you sheeple see that it is just a way to scam money out of us?
If you buy any of those packages with cash then you my friend are going to destroy this game.
The next marketing technique is something to get more out of the time you put in, purchasable items that say work like three of coins or allow you to do multiple raids on a character. Effectively reset your characters items for money, not game breaking but a slow ease in to it so nobody makes a fuss.
Be careful guardians
(Edit) ugh I hate having to edit but too many people aren't intelligent enough to understand a few points.
1) I called the fact there would be timed purchases only obtainable with RL currency (dances) it's a simple marketing technique. Think about it, you might have seen an add on TV for say KFC or something offering a new item on their menu for a limited time. This creates urgency in a consumer so they buy despite not needing or really wanting it all that much.
2)eventually money will slow down on purchasable cosmetic items (this is the rule of the market) and the marketing team will release something different. This is why a new I phone comes out every year. And this is where the game will start to change.
3) these silver purchases aren't going towards dlc like you think. You will still have to pay $50 or equivelant depending on your country for the next dlc like TTK or HOW. This silver purchase goes towards events like queens wrath or say halloween event (surprise surprise, we paid for an event which is designed to make us pay even more. Well -blam!- me "marketing")
4) keep in mind bungie is a business. Business has marketing, marketing is about exploiting customers to suck as much money as possible. If people will pay for it then someone will sell it (supply and demand)
5) a little maths. 100,000 people pay for 1 dance (1% of playerbase) 20,000,000 players.
At $10 a dance that's $1,000,000
How much do you think it costs to make 3 dances?
Edit 2) I have not changed above post at all.
Below are some of the most common assumptions/weak ass arguments I keep getting. Before you tip your head sideways and spill stupid all over the reply button please read.
[spoiler]"get a job/you're poor." Anyone who can afford a console game power internet etc can spare $5 for a dance, it has nothing to do with this.
"You are a kid in your parents basement, get a job." Even if I was (I'm not unfortunately I have to work) then my dumbass parents would probably give me $5 if I asked seeing as they're stupid enough to support me.
"It's only cosmetic" my whole point is that I like cosmetics, but in this game it won't stay that way.
"You called me sheeple so now I'm upset and your (yes your) stupid" I called people that are blind to simple marketing techniques and the obvious trend this game is following sheeple, if you catergorize yourself as such then basically, sort your shit
Oh oh and "free dlc" <------ the hell do you even stay alive from day to day lol plz survival of the fittest my ass

"We're only going to sell emotes." How many weeks later? Already selling quest materials for this little event. And don't worry about all the people antagonizing you. They've been well conditioned to think this is great.

4 답변tl;dr You're gonna destroy this game by purchasing a dance move and masks with no light that actually make your character weaker while also providing a DLC budget so Bungie can expand the game!
-
2 답변I don't care if it's a way to get money. That money paid for the Dev time it takes to do all the stuff and I love the new crucible map and it takes away from the repetitive game Last year we got some lanterns. This year was epic. I can't wait for my Santa mask at Xmas.

13 답변You didn't call shit. Stop complaining about hypothetical situations that don't exist. Until there is actually some type of player advantage from micro transactions, this just makes you look like a tin foil toting troll

6 답변The reason they are doing this is so future dlc will be free. Unless you want to shell out 40 bucks and up. Just go with it. No one's forcing any to buy.

6 답변You don't have to buy silver to get anything. You can do it without buying anything from Tess

3 답변They are still just cosmetic items. This is no different than dances and no nearer pay to win than dances. This post is paranoia at it's finest. It even has a "SEE! SEE! I SAID SO!"

5 답변Scam money how? Do you know how dumb that sounds? Anyone who pays is willingly paying and fully conscience of what he is receiving, go to google and look up the definition of scam please.. I am so sick of these posts, take your tinfoil hat off and take your meds.

3 답변I could care less I have money to blow and since I'm not spending it on anythinf else might as well spend it on destiny that's something I enjoy daily.

3 답변Really? Show me your evidence. Prove to me this isn't just some conspiracy theory based [b]purely on circumstantial evidence[/b]. Your slippery slope analogy needs work.

5 답변Good I hope they sell high level light weapons and armor soon so I don't have to grind that shit... Or I can just wait till the next expansion and move up in light for the cost of the new expansion. Making all the gear everyone has now obsolete anyway...
